Campaign: The #CleanEnergyU Conversation

Join students, climate leaders and clean-energy entrepreneurs in a lively half-day discussion on clean energy via the #CleanEnergyU Tweetathon on April 22. During this chat, participants have an opportunity to meet clean energy experts and ask them how to best achieve the clean energy future students most want to see. 

Experts range from clean energy entrepreneurs and visionaries to leaders challenging campuses to invest in more clean energy and divest out of fossil fuels.

These climate experts will engage in conversations from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET on April 22. Participants can tweet their question in advance or on the day of the chat to a particular expert by using both the #CleanEnergyU hashtag and tagging the speaker’s handle.
