Confronting Our Energy Crisis: Documentary Screening and Discussion

New York is in an energy crisis. Despite tens of billions of dollars of investments, electric and heating bills are going higher and higher for families and businesses. Fights over land use, control and different types of energy have no end in sight.

Does the Hudson Valley have the moral fitness to find solutions that are good for our state, country and humanity as a whole? To solve the problem, we first must understand how we got here.

Join us for a screening of Kingston resident Fox Green’s latest documentary, Energy/Empire: America’s Green Counter-Revolution, which tells a uniquely Hudson Valley story that starts with the American Revolution, detours to the dark founding of the eugenics movement, and recounts the true contours of the lawfare that blocked the Storm King pumped hydro project and helped RFK Jr. shut down the Indian Point nuclear plant.

Afterwards, continue the conversation with a panel discussion and Q&A with:

Fox Green, co-founder of New York Energy Alliance and Kingston Creative
Steve Carroll, President and Business Manager of IBEW Local 320
Jillian Fried, an emerging leader in the No Battery Plant on Hurley Ave movement.

Screening: The film will start promptly at 2 PM.

Panel Discussion: The discussion will run from 4 to 4:45 PM.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with history, philosophy, organized labor and local leaders in charting our energy future. We look forward to seeing you there!
