Citizen's energy reform

When we were in Bangkok, Chom did a lot of this -- policy meetings, working to bring social justice, accountability and transparency to the energy scene in Thailand. Here she's addressing a group of villagers and NGO activists at a workshop entitled "Citizens electricity reform", explaining the structure of the natural gas and electricity industry.

Here on Lopez we continue to stay in touch, to the extent we can. We're currently organizing a study tour that will bring key electricity and gas decision makers from Thai government and industries together with NGOs together to meet counterparts in Washington and Oregon. We'll visit power plants (wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, gas) and talk with a variety of high-level decision-makers to exchange ideas on power sector planning and regulation.
