Bard Center for Environmental Policy Presents
Renewable Energy and the Public: Using Real Estate to Gauge Acceptance
5:00 pm – 6:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Bard Center for Environmental Policy is pleased to host Ben Hoen '06, a researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Ben will discuss his research that seeks to gauge levels of acceptance, or the lack thereof, of the rapidly deploying commercial scale wind energy and residential scale solar energy. His work uses real estate to measure and monitor that acceptance, which has led his efforts deep into the inter-workings or the wind and solar industries, realtors, appraisers, and more recently multiple listing services. He will talk about some of this work (and of others at his lab), where it is leading, and a few of the more interesting anecdotes he has collected along the way.
Ben is an example of the MS in environmental policy in action. According to Ben, "CEP gave me specific skills (e.g., econometrics, geospatial, writing) that I could immediately apply to my research agenda while at school and eventually the real world. The programs multidisciplinary approach was a perfect match for the research requirements at the lab."
