Offer
I have extensive experience developing infrastructure projects. Through this experience I have learned practical lessons about what can complicate and frustrate the deployment of new ideas and new technologies. I'm a pragmatic optimist and creative problem solver. I bring a dose of reality to grand plans and visions while maintaining a problem solvers "it can be done, but here are the obstacles and potential workarounds..." mentality.
NEED
NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) opposition to the development of renewable energy projects is the biggest challenge me and my company currently face. Many people favor the deployment of renewable energy projects until projects are sited near where they live. When confronted with a specific project that will bring change to their community they rationalize why this specific project is inappropriate and oppose the development of the project despite claiming to be a supporter of renewable energy deployment.
Call-to-Action
I'd like to further develop my skillset of organizing and motivating groups of local project constituents to support renewable energy project development within their communities. I'm also interested to learn about how my company can create more positive impact with our wind projects by integrating regenerative agriculture and other concepts that other guilds are discussing and formulating.
