Join us after the panel for an optional tour of two local renewable energy projects: MCE Solar One in Richmond — the largest public-private solar partnership in the Bay Area — and Redwood Landfill — Waste Management’s state-of-the-art, landfill gas-to-energy plant, which turns yesterday’s trash into today’s electricity. Tour attendees will be transported to and from the renewable energy project sites via chartered shuttle, and the tour will last from an estimated 1:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.
