Welcome to The Moore Charitable Foundation Energy Siting Library

Through The Moore Charitable Foundation Energy Siting Resource Center, Audubon invites partners and interested individuals to learn about how energy siting impacts wildlife and landscapes. The Library provides information on transmission regulations, the decision-making process, and ways to advance more environmentally sustainable options for energy development and transmission. It is intended to enable concerned citizens to help their communities make choices that are good for birds, wildlife, and people.

In 2013 Louis Bacon’s foundation, The Moore Charitable Foundation, led by executive director Ann Colley, established The Moore Charitable Foundation Energy Siting Center to empower citizens to urge their communities to make wise, conservation-minded decisions about the location of energy transmission lines. The Center is grounded in successful efforts to prevent massive redundant transmission lines from fracturing pristine wilderness. Mr. Bacon and his team have gained invaluable experience and success with seemingly intractable energy-siting battles. By partnering with Mr. Bacon, Audubon is bringing elements of this hard-earned knowledge to the conservation community, and supporting people’s ability to take action in their own communities about the energy siting issues that matter most. With the foundation’s support, Audubon has worked across the country to make more than 70 million acres safer for birds and wildlife.
