A Seat at the Table
Would you like to have a say in what Kentucky’s energy future looks like? How the ways we generate and use energy affects you and your family and community?
If so, you are invited attend “A Seat At The Table,” a community dinner conversation about the opportunities and challenges we face as we work together to plan and build a clean energy economy here in Kentucky.
At these engaging events, you and your neighbors will
-
enjoy a locally sourced meal
-
consider your relationship with energy
-
share your vision and ideas about Kentucky’s energy future.
Each event will also feature fun and interactive presentations, cultural performances and informational displays.
A Seat At The Table is your chance to help shape a just transition to a clean energy economy – one that is good for all Kentuckians. Your participation is welcome and valued.
As KFTC member Elizabeth Sanders noted, “It is our responsibility as Kentuckians to move forward with a shared vision for our energy future. Our future can’t afford to wait for any of our political leaders who pay lip service to a bright future with both feet planted firmly in the past.”
