As Bill McKibben says: Sunlight travels 93 million miles to reach your roof, and it doesn’t pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Solar is no longer just a climate story, it’s about cost, resilience, and control. Yet as adoption accelerates, resistance is growing.
This conversation will explore what’s driving that pushback, what’s at risk, and what it means for energy security today.
Speakers:
Hans-Josef Fell, President, Energy Watch Group
Dr. Martin Frick, Co-founder, COPx | World Food Programme
Moderator:
Paul Rowland, COO, Environment Next
We’ll cover:
• Why solar is now central to energy independence
• What’s slowing adoption
• Lessons from Germany’s expansion
• What’s working, and what’s not
• Practical paths forward for communities
We’ll leave time for audience Q&A.
