The crowds were out in full force, and after the recent rain, people were keen to get outside and enjoy the evening.Our energy voting board was a real head-turner, drawing in plenty of curious passersby. We had great conversations with over 40 community members, diving into the complexities of the energy transition. Renewables took the win again, but there was certainly interest in nuclear technology.
