The Importance of Clean Energy Transmission

This infrastructure development has significant potential impacts on our lands, wildlife, cultural resources, and our ability to enjoy the outdoors near these infrastructure site.

Veronica Ung-Kono, Clean Energy Transmission Policy Specialist at the National Wildlife Federation, explains the benefits and considerations of clean energy transmission to Hispanic Conservation Leadership Council (HCLC) members in this virtual meeting.
