Solar. Wind. Renewable energy. The Biden administration issued a plan that envisions the US generating 45% of its electricity from solar panels by 2050. Climate change, justice, and equity are increasingly on the hearts and minds of millions of people globally as we continue to witness imbalance upon the planet; the manifestations are glaringly obvious. Forbes magazine noted the world will likely quadruple the number of solar panels in the world over the next decade. But despite public wishes for clean green, equitable & safe renewable energy, there are caveats and dark sides to all of it. Conventional solar comes with liabilities around: safety, hazardous heavy metal waste & a lack of circularity around recycling, ecosystem disruption and devastation, as well as solar panels being discarded in landfills where they could potentially leach. The Harvard Business Review created statistical models that predict solar panels “might produce 50 times more waste in just four years than anticipated by the International Renewable Energy Agency.” And while the cost of solar panels has decreased, due to the dominance of Chinese production, the cost of producing reliable grid electricity with solar panels has risen, since panels are weather-dependent. But these critiques belong to conventional solar. Enter CHERP Solar Works [http://www.cherpsolar.org] with new designs on solar, both on how it is deployed AND manufactured. CHERP, using a nonprofit model, aims to deliver on the promise of solar as a safe, renewable energy by empowering and uplifting local communities and making solar accessible in underserved communities. Megan Anderson joins us to tell how CHERP intends to address environmental justice and economic inequity by manufacturing solar where we live.

Christine Margiotta, a tenacious, driven activist and successful organizer/advocate for social and environmental change through non-profit programs such as the United Way, Sustainable Claremont, and CHERP, is the Executive Director of Social Ventures Partner - and a mother of two - has taken the next logical step: run for Claremont City Council. In an engaging, informative, and thought-provoking interview, Christine explains why her successful record of accomplishments and large-budget management, high-level and hands-on experience, insight, and unique qualifications make her Claremont's best choice for election as District One's City Council representative. Christine takes full advantage of this opportunity to explain the key distinctions and important details of her plans and objectives to maintain the City of Claremont's fundamental character while bringing about the essential social and economic improvements that will define Claremont's future. Every Claremont resident, and especially District One voters who value advancing Claremont's approach to homelessness, mental health, economic justice, fiscal responsibility, and criminal justice reform would be well-served to first listen to and understand Christine's positions.

What a lot of people don't get is that SEMA is a trade show, and most of the people there are only there to conduct business. We are those people there to conduct business, and after a couple of days of doing so the shine wears off. That means little things sometimes become big things, and the big stories don't have anything to do with the show itself, but with things around the show. Or getting handcuffed by a random woman while walking along The Strip. Either or. On this episode: Mike, Zack, Brandon, Cherp, and Christian share their stories, trials and tribulations, and other goings on from the show.

If your holiday lighting extravaganza left you with a utility bill hangover of Griswold proportions, your hosts, Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small are happy to share some options to get things back in check. You don't want to go through the year worrying about the rising SMUD and PGE rates and especially not when the summer rolls around. But now, more importantly than anything, is to be sure you've got all your ducks in a row to insure your best plans are executed. Is the house right? Is the attic sealed tight? Don't let the utilities take a bite. Does it all affect your sight? OK, OK enough. The humor is trite. In any event, case studies and suggestions to prepare for the season ahead are what you'll hear today as well as a return of our CHERP home energy buddy, ol' Jack Frost. And with a little bit of chill still to come, he's the right guy to share his experience with reducing consumption before producing that energy. Reduce before you produce, we say. As always, you'll get more out of the show than you could ever expect. And with that will come questions, so be sure to get them answered by calling Brower Mechanical at 916-624-0808 or on line at www.gosmallsolar.com.

Seriously, it is Abe Lincolns birthday today. And one of his character traits was honesty, hence the nickname, Honest Abe.

Whether it be on-line webinars, CHERP evening meetings or in home education, it's all about learning what's going to be best for YOU.
