This conversation is with Juli Rohl, scientist and facilitator at the energy futures lab.  We’ll be discussing the LEAD Project: Leveraging our Energy Assets for Diversification, a recent report by Marla Orenstein and Juli Rohl with help from core team members.   Some highlights include discussing solutions to regulation issues start up solar and geothermal companies face.

What are the roadblocks to allow entrepreneurs to utilize existing oil and gas infrastructure sites for new development?  What is the current regulation and how would one go about acquiring a wellsite for surface diversification such as solar today?   How do you protect landowners? A solution to these key issues is put forward in a short but impactful draft bill, Juli shares a high level overview of what it says.    

May this exchange serve to expand your geological knowledge on the go.
