Webinar: Oil Wars or Clean Energy Peace?

Oil Wars or Clean Energy Peace?

For decades, fossil fuel dependence has shaped global conflicts, driven military interventions, and created dangerous international tensions. But what if there was another way?

Join NMEAC and acclaimed climate videographer Peter Sinclair for a thought-provoking exploration of how the transition to renewable energy represents not just an environmental imperative, but a path to greater national security and global stability.

In this webinar, Peter will examine:

  • How fossil fuel dependence drives geopolitical conflict and instability
  • Why renewable energy reduces our vulnerability to global supply chain disruptions
  • Michigan's role in building energy independence through local clean power
  • The economic and security benefits of homegrown wind, solar, and battery storage
  • Real-world examples of communities breaking free from fossil fuel dependency

The choice is clear: we can continue down a path of resource wars and climate chaos, or we can build a future powered by clean, abundant energy that creates jobs at home and peace abroad.

SPEAKER

Peter Sinclair is an award-winning environmental videographer and Michigan native who documents climate change impacts across the Great Lakes region and the clean energy solutions taking root in communities throughout the Midwest—from wind and solar installations to innovative battery storage technologies.
