With California on track to hit roughly 2 million solar roofs by 2020, the leadership, policy initiatives and employment growth coming from the solar energy industry may well carry the day as we move towards a clean energy future. Join Bernadette Del Chiaro, Executive Director of the California Solar Energy Industry Association, to find out just how far we’ve come and where the state and field are poised to go. Del Chiaro, formerly Director of Clean Energy and Global Warming Programs at Environment California, was the lead advocate of the Million Solar Roofs campaign and has worked on numerous clean energy bills and initiatives throughout her seventeen-year career.

This speech was given at the California Climate Leadership Intensive, hosted by Bioneers as a supplement to the 2014 Bioneers National Conference.
