In this episode we focus on
pollinator-friendly habitat and its inclusion in solar
developments. My guest is Rob Davis, Director of the Center for Pollinators in Energy at Fresh
Energy, a public interest non-profit based in St. Paul,
Minnesota. We start by discussing the energy landscape in
Minnesota, and then we get into pollinator-friendly habitat—best
practices, finances, and benefits it offers solar developers which
can help build support among community and agricultural
stakeholders. We close with a look ahead at what Rob thinks the
state of pollinator-friendly solar will be in a few years.
