"Renewable energies: conflict or solution?" round table closing the cycle in Bilbao
- The research group Ekopol and EHUgune of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) organised a round table on 25 April in Bilbao. The projects and plans for the promotion of renewable energies that are being proposed in the CAPV have generated "anxieties, ardent polemics and some kind of conflict", to which it is intended "to promote calm and reasonable debates": "It is a task to plan and think about where to place and how to make the infrastructures essential for the energy and eco-social transition, because if not related to people, the whole project can be put into question."
On 25 April in the Bizkaia Aretoa in Bilbao, from 18:00 in the afternoon, there will be five rapporteurs: Julen Rekondo (Environmental Consultant – National Environmental Prize), Joserra Becerra (Berd-Equo), Mirene Begiristain (UPV/EHU aneve), Iñigo. Journalist Ane Zabala will act as moderator.
The organization reports that the entry will be free, that there will be no prior registration and that there will be a translation service.
