From Coast to Coast: Celebrations to Demonstrate that Renewable Energy is Ready Now
Albany, New York – On Sunday, September 21, from 12:00 to 4:00 at the “Base of the Egg” in the Empire State Plaza Convention Center, Third Act along with over 40 organizations and businesses will participate in Sun Day, a groundbreaking coast-to-coast event that marks a pivotal moment in the nation’s clean energy transition away from climate-destroying fossil fuels.
Inspired by the transformative impact of the original Earth Day in 1970, Sun Day is a nationwide day-of-action to harness the power of people, culture, and advocacy to celebrate and accelerate the rapid build-out of renewable energy. Sun Day will specifically spotlight how solar and wind are the most affordable, most reliable, and most expeditious sources of energy and that the main barrier to the clean energy transition is political, not technological.
The Sun Day festival in Albany will bring together activists, businesses, workers, homeowners, apartment renters, farmers, students, and policymakers to push back against fossil fuel industry disinformation and lobbying and demonstrate the existing overwhelming public support for the ongoing transition to solar and wind energy.
…
The Albany event will feature an exposition hall with advocates and vendors, panel discussions, teach-ins, climate films, and climate-songfest.
