Provo is a conservative city in one of the most conservative counties in the USA. The panel will elaborate how the six-city Utah Municipal Power Agency and Provo City Power were able to utilize modest public and municipal support for reducing their carbon footprint. Ryan King will narrate his transition from a millennial skier worried about shrinking snow pack to an effective community activist. Travis Ball will describe Provo City Power’s odyssey from having no net-metering to setting a fabulous example with a thriving rooftop solar market, an energy-efficient headquarters building, parking areas roofed with solar panels and other energy-wise initiatives.
