The Need for Local Support in Clean Energy Projects

Local opposition is a critical factor in the delays and cancellations of clean energy projects across the U.S., with developers often struggling to effectively engage communities. There has been a notable absence of organized support for clean energy proponents, creating a power imbalance where a small group of vocal opponents can heavily influence local decisions. Greenlight America was established to address these gaps and facilitate local engagement by empowering community members to advocate for clean energy initiatives. This approach acknowledges the significant role of community participation in influencing local government decisions regarding clean energy development.
