A GRID WORTH BUILDING : a film by jeannie salo

Time is leaving the system.

As electricity demand grows, infrastructure deployment, transmission expansion, permitting reform, supply chains, investment, and workforce development must move faster if we are going to build the energy future our economy requires.

The leaders featured in this film represent a wide range of perspectives, but they share a common belief:

THE 2024 MINOLOGUES at Kennedy Center | TRU•MINING | RESOURCING THE GRID

TRU•MINING (a true mine) creates net-positive value to sustainable human development by extracting value from our planet’s natural capital. True mining earns and serves the public trust, purse, and permit when interventions are are intrinsically regenerative and net+ for all stakeholders – including people and planet. A mine, and mining, should not define a piece of nature’s real-estate as mineral wealth is only part of the site’s natural capital.
