Poughkeepsie – “A View from the Clean Energy Future”
January 11 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Imagine a world where our energy no longer comes from extracting and burning huge amounts of oil, gas, and coal, with the resultant pollution. What will a clean energy future look like for the average household? What can we do to be ready for this transition?
Climate leader Sean Dague will give you a view of that world, because it’s already here. All the solutions we need for this transition exist today; we just need to deploy them faster. He’ll show you how we make this transition, both individually and collectively, through his journey removing fossil fuels from his home, and engaging in climate policy. You’ll see why this is a better future, a healthier and more affordable future, and one that we should be excited to create. And you’ll see why we need to accelerate this future, and how you can do that, both at the individual and collective level.
Sean is a volunteer with the Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), a grassroots climate advocacy organization that exists to create the political will for climate solutions, and by enabling individual breakthroughs in the exercise of personal and political power. He is one of the leaders of the Mid-Hudson Chapter of CCL, as well as active in the NY State Action team, and a NY State Coordinator. In those roles he has given dozens of climate presentations, and lobbied members of Congress and NY State representatives on over 40 occasions, pushing for climate solutions. Sean is a software architect with IBM’s Quantum Computing team.
