Meetings for the Climate Adaptation and Energy Working Group will be the third Friday of each month from 11:30AM to 1:30PM. The location will change from month to month–please check the triadsustainability.org calendar.
Identifying potential climate change threats and developing disaster mitigation and adaptation strategies. The combination describes actions that communities can take to establish long‐term resilience. Preparing a sustainable energy strategy including energy‐efficiency and alternative energy supply. The element will provide a continuum of measures communities can utilize to meet their needs and interests.

Hi there, You have performed a great job. I’ll definitely digg it and in my opinion recommend to my friends. I am confident they’ll be benefited from this web site.
Hi Kyle and group,
I am interested in this topic specifically in regard to the future of fracking in Stokes County. Several of the group from No Fracking in Stoke County would like to purse grants to assist us in getting baseline air and water readings before they get started. I also would like to see about real time monitoring to mitigate risk and assist proactively in the event of an accident. I think people are afraid and anything we can do to reassure safety for their familes will be helpful.
Kind reagrds,
Vivian Fulk
Thanks Vivian. You’ve got a large task in front of you.
Kyle
The term “alternative” presupposes a set of undesirable energy technologies against which “alternative energies” are contrasted. As such, the list of energy technologies excluded is an indicator of which problems the alternative technologies are intended to address. Controversies regarding dominant sources of energy and their alternatives have a long history. The nature of what was regarded alternative energy sources has changed considerably over time, and today, because of the variety of energy choices and differing goals of their advocates, defining some energy types as “alternative” is highly controversial.
