Virginia’s ‘Rubin Group’ Helping to Build Consensus Around Solar Energy

Recently, the “Rubin Group,” a consensus-building cohort working together on energy policies for the Commonwealth, held an open discussion with concerned citizens about solar energy in Virginia, today and in the future. Rubin Group participants include representatives from energy companies, solar advocacy organizations, utility firms, energy education groups and others who meet regularly to debate energy policies and work to advance Virginia legislation to include more renewable energy.

In this first of a three-part series we learn more about the Rubin Group, its efforts and the conversation with Virginians, from Mark E. Rubin, J.D., facilitator of the group and Director at the Virginia Center for Consensus Building.
