7 Roadblocks to Renewable Energy and How to Win Over Hearts

🌱 7 reasons folks might say "nope" to renewable energy projects:

💸 01 Land value drama
🌳 02 Enviro worries
😷 03 Health scares
🗣️ 04 "Hey, let us in!" (public participation)
🌐 05 Tribal tiffs
💰 06 Money matters
🏛️ 07 Government goofs_{Source: Energy Policy}

🇨🇴 In Colombia, community acceptance probs have stalled projects for up to 3 years! 😮

4. Continued to input into and refine the UX map to better understand our target journey across a number of horizontals

What we're doing this sprint

1. Refine and hand over the Explore section to the Tech Team for build

2. Build and refine the UX map with the Engagement Team to ensure it is clear and fully comprehensive

3. Wireframe and map out the Engage section which will house all community-based features

4. Get set up for further testing to take place across Sprint 03

Tech Pod

What we did last sprint

1. Established a home for our code, devops pipeline, documentation and project management

2. Defined the requirements of the system that provides our content platform

3. Working with Design, validated our hypothesis content platform, and used it to build a multi-lingual content model that supports the ‘Learn’ one-pager

4. Carried out initial exploration of other candidate content platforms

What we're doing this sprint

1. Completing a first draft of our Conceptual Solution Architecture - required to pass Stage Gate A

2. Working to fill the two engineering spaces we have in the tech team

3. Pushing for approval of our hypothesis content platform

4. Starting the discovery of candidate vendor platforms that might power the community features for MVP and beyond

Content Strat Pod

What we did last sprint

1. Built a detailed understanding of the as-is community engagement process within NGV and where Uplift might impact this
