Currently, the electric power sector contributes roughly 25% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. That’s why a lot of effort is being placed into figuring out alternative ways to power up our homes and our vehicles. 

In this episode we begin with a little lesson about solar from Terrence L. Chambers. Some incredible work is being done at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Along with debunking a few myths, we really get into the economics of solar. Could this be what pulls one of the poorest states in the nation out of poverty? It certainly could help. 

Then, we’re going to chat with Ann Vail, the Executive Director of Louisiana Clean Fuels, to learn more about electric vehicles. Interestingly enough, that opens up the conversation to health disparities. 

During my chat with Ann I brought up the old South Baton Rouge neighborhood, which is where my next guest is originally from. His name is Paul Franklin and he is working with the Dallas side of our operation.
