Podcast appearances and mentions of Adam Edelen

It's KPW's 6th Birthday and to celebrate, we add the original co-host, Tom Stephens and first guest, Adam Edelen, to the show. We've got ethical issues in State Government, education lawsuits, the tick tock for TikTok, and Tres has thoughts on snow removal and related issues in Lexington.

In this episode of Middle Tech Podcast, Logan Jones and Evan Knowles talk with Adam Edelen, CEO of Edelen Renewables. The discussion explores Adam's transition from Kentucky state government to renewable energy, focusing on his goal to introduce sustainable energy solutions to overlooked regions in America. The conversation covers the challenges of entrepreneurship in Kentucky, the role of renewable energy in economic development, and the importance of learning from failure. Adam shares insights on the renewable energy sector's growth, its impact on Kentucky, and the potential for innovation in energy technology. The episode also includes a dialogue on Kentucky's business environment and how it can better support entrepreneurs.

Scott starts with an update on Senator McConnell following another public health scare - while the Senator assures people he is finishing his term. With Congress back in session there is plenty happening in DC, along with Biden struggling to figure out if he needs to mask up or not.

Doug and Aaron cover the KY political news of the week, looking at the political pawns in the Governor's race, and whether teachers will buy what the liar Dan Cameron is selling. Then we've got Doug Price is Right with a deep dive into the coal-coddling politicos in our capitol, then we are glad to reconnect with the former state auditor, now solar energy entrepreneur, Adam Edelen, who talks about today's anniversary of the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act - and what the bill means for Kentucky and the nation's efforts to move to clean energy and EVs. We then close out with ANOTHER invitation to this Saturday's election campaign kick off meeting.... with the BIG NEWS of a new Nato jam!

Adam Edelen is the founder of Edelen Renewables. He’s working to bring jobs and investment to coal country by building massive solar farms on reclaimed strip mines, and he’s working with coal companies and renewable energy developers to do it. We had a great conversation with him and he gave me a tour of his first coal-to-solar project in Martin County, Kentucky. This is an incredibly exciting development for Appalachia and a fantastic way to put reclaimed mines, out of work miners, and abandoned fossil fuel infrastructure to work building a new clean energy economy.LinksEpisode webpageEdelen RenewablesThe Poverty Tours (video)Lyndon Johnson Declares Unconditional War on Poverty (video)Harlan County, USA (video)Please share the show with a friend or give us a review!

The two discuss the importance of the decision for UofL’s on-court performance, how Nwora compliments the rest of the team and potential starting lineups for the 2019-20 season.

The duo talk Jones’ real issue as a candidate seeking Louisville’s democratic votes and why his response to the story misses the mark.
