We are focused on helping Rhode Island Solar Siting difficulties by taking into consideration Rhode Islands\u2019 renewable energy goals of 100% renewable energy by 2030 while also being sensitive to the fact that areas have non-market values to residents. Part of my position is to assess Rhode Island&#8217;s current solar siting and land use approach by conducting interviews with our primary stakeholders and attending relevant public meetings to collect information. Through my growing relationships with primary stakeholders, I will be able to work on disseminating our research results to those stakeholders through a variety of methods such as educational workshops and mass media. I have found this work incredibly interesting and believe it will be valuable for future solar-related policy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you like to do in your free time?
