This episode of Raising Your Antenna features Jordan Feldstein, Product Co-Chief / Tech Lead at BlocPower, to discuss the path forward to upgrading all 125MM American homes and 5MM fossil fuel-burning buildings to make them more cost-effective, healthier, smarter, and greener. This transition is not only combating the climate crisis but creating inclusive new job opportunities and saving money for property owners and tenants. BlocPower is leading the charge to replace and retrofit dated and dangerous heating and cooling systems with electric heat pumps in residential and commercial buildings. Fast Company recognized BlocPower for its transformational technology, naming it the 4th Most Innovative Company in the World in 2022. While technological innovations to lower greenhouse gas emissions in real estate are here – what lies ahead is the challenge of mass adoption. Most regulation around the environmental impact of the built environment is focused on new construction. While important, the built environment is the 4th largest emitter of greenhouse gasses not because of new builds, but mostly because of the inefficient and unhealthy older buildings. Jordan and Keith discuss why addressing this part of the problem is crucial to combat the worst effects of climate change: Why heat pumps are an important part of the equation to reducing emissions in buildingsHow the Inflation Reduction will play a key role in electrifying older buildings and what programs are available to fund the transitionHow to electrify old construction to meet the current moment, and in doing so improve health, increase building value, and lower costs for owners and tenantsHow environmental justice and equity will be pivotal to the transition, and how BlocPower  is integrating them into its businessLearn more about how BlocPower is building opportunity in high-gun violence neighborhoods by preparing 1,000 talented individuals for a career in climate technology with its Civilian Climate Corps and partnership with NYC. For additional information on these programs, you can read about their recently expanded engagement with the City of New York and Year One Impact Report on the Civilian Climate Corps.Excited about the possibilities in climate since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act?

In the middle of the Great Depression, President Roosevelt founded the Civilian Conservation Corps, a group responsible for hiring hundreds of thousands of white men to develop trails and build infrastructure that is still standing today. Now, Democrats want to create a similar, but more divers, group to build a new Corps to help the economy recover from the pandemic and fight climate change at once. POLITICO's Anthony Adragna has the details on the plan for a Civilian Climate Corps.

A week after coming to office, President Biden signed an executive order calling for a Civilian Climate Corps. It recalls a New Deal-era program which put millions of young men to work in the outdoors during the Great Depression.

In May 2021, "Shaping Our Future" brought more than 600 young people together from across the country to discuss their insights on major societal issues our country is facing today. They discussed these issues in small groups, listened to panel experts offer their thoughts, and interacted with each other regardless of whether or not they agreed on the subject matter.From the team that brought you Voices of America In One Room, this is Voices of Shaping Our Future.In this special episode of the podcast, we have the privilege of sitting down with a group of thought leaders for a roundtable discussion about the Berggruen Institute's Youth Environment Service, or YES campaign.The conversation features Azzam Almouai, a member of the LA Conservation Corps; Kristy Drutman, an environmental educator and host of Brown Girl Green; Mark Paul, political economist and 2021-2022 Berggruen Fellow, and; Mary Ellen Sprenkel, CEO of The Corps Network; with a special introduction from Dawn Nakagawa, executive vice president and director of the future of democracy program at the Berggruen Institute.The group begins their discussion with thoughts on the Biden Administration's proposed Civilian Climate Corps (CCC) and the importance of designing a national service program that works for all Americans and meets communities where they are. The conversation continues with the group's thoughts on how a CCC would reduce unemployment, the importance of spreading awareness and education around national service programs, and local-level organizing as a powerful tool in the fight against climate change.The Voices of Shaping Our Future podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, and is hosted by Alice Siu.

The Biden administration’s move to deport thousands of Haitian migrants is drawing further criticism. NBC looks at the latest developments, and HuffPost explains why the U.S. is on track to admit fewer refugees than it did during the Trump years. Disputes among Democrats could derail Biden’s goals on the environment. The Atlantic says some progressives and moderates have begun hinting that no new climate legislation could be better than a compromise measure. Democratic lawmakers want to create tens of thousands of jobs fighting climate change. The Washington Post explores what a Civilian Climate Corps could look like. National Geographic breaks down new research showing that birds flocked to big cities during pandemic lockdowns.

Congress will soon decide the fate and shape of legislation to (among many other things) create a modern-day CCC. The historian Neil Maher looks back at the profound political as well as environmental benefits of the original corps. (This episode was first cast in March 2021.)

From 1933 to 1942 thousands of men across Tennessee created some of our most treasured outdoor places like our Tennessee State Parks and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. These men were part of the Civilian Conservation Corps, a New Deal-era program to employ and train young men to complete projects in support of the environment and conservation. Across our state and country, the impact of this program can still be seen today. In this episode of River Talks, we talk with Matthew Gailani and Amanda McCrary Smith from the Tennessee State Museum. Matthew is a museum curator and Amanda is the curator of Textiles and Fashion. Together they share the history and impacts of the Civilian Conservation Corps in Tennessee and beyond. Finally, we will share how history may be repeating itself with the Civilian Climate Corps. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thecompact/message

The Senate, by a vote of 50 to 49, conferred its approval on a $3.5 trillion budget resolution that paves the way for the hugely ambitious economic package Biden has long promised to make a reality. As Clare Foran and Ali Zaslev detail in article on CNN, Senate Democrats cast their vote in favor of the package after a long series of so-called amendment votes. It is now up to the House to pass the budget resolution. Pillars of the resolution include massive spending on infrastructure, job creation, aid to families, and environmental programs. It is easily one of the most sweeping and ambitious domestic spending programs in American history, establishing a Civilian Climate Corps, implementing universal pre-K for three- and four-year-olds, and making community college tuition free for two years, among other provisions. It appears that in the view of CNN's authors, the liberal Democrat viewpoint is the only one that truly matters here. This package is what “people” want. Only fuddy-duddies with eccentric views would stop and ask what part of the Constitution says that government is to pay for community college or universal pre-K. Not very many people today would cite or even know the text of the Tenth Amendment, which explicitly delimits the functions and prerogatives of the federal government and stipulates that any powers not specifically granted to it under the Constitution belong to the states, or the people. Who cares about such nit-picking legal and Constitutional issues when the mobs to which Democrat politicians are beholden are clamoring for more of this and more of that. The Constitution is just a scrap of paper written by dead white men.Americans can never get enough of true crime, and the persistence of the Covid pandemic has not denied them the spectacle of seeing the notorious Robert Durst, heir to the Durst real estate fortune, put on trial in Los Angeles for the murder of friend Susan Berman. An August 10 Reuters article reminds readers how police in 2000 found the body of 55-year-old Berman in her Beverly Hills home shortly after the reopening of an investigation into the disappearance and presumed murder of Durst's wife, Kathleen McCormack Durst, in 1982. Durst is also the prime suspect in the killing of Morris Black, a neighbor in Texas, in 2001.The article dusts off the theory that Durst wanted Berman out of the picture because of what she might have been able to tell police about the fate of Kathleen. The Reuters article details how Durst's attorneys have taken a somewhat unusual step in putting the wheelchair-bound 78-year-old, who suffers from many ailments including bladder and esophageal cancer, kidney disease, high blood pressure, neuropathy, and osteoporosis, on the stand to answer tough and probing questions about his alleged role in Berman's death.

Luxury rail-tour company Rocky Mountaineer will launch their Denver to Moab passenger service in mid-August, yet questions still hang over their plans for unloading passengers. The Canadian-based company say they will disembark passengers on Union Pacific and Intrepid Potash- owned land near state highway 313. But Grand County has yet to see a site plan. That's because the company is arguing in US District Court that they are not subject to local rules like going through a county permitting process.

Congressman Joe Neguse (CO-2nd) speaks with OIA's Director of Policy, Rich Harper, to discuss his recently introduced Civilian Climate Corps proposal, which has been included in President Biden's American Jobs Plan. Neguse also talks about his Parks, Jobs and Equity Act, which would invest millions of dollars into urban parks, creating thousands of jobs and generating billions of dollars in local economic growth. Rich and the Congressman talk about the industry's role in passing these measures and why this session might be our best shot and getting the bills through Congress and to the President's desk.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to kickstart an economic recovery that at the same time addressed our climate crisis? Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse thinks there is one. He's proposing to bring back a popular program from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's time — the Civilian Conservation Corps. Starting in the early 1930s, the CCC was meant to get people back to work after the Great Depression, and it left a lasting legacy here in Colorado — they built Red Rocks! But Neguse's 21st-century version would look a little different.

As President Biden haggles with Republicans on infrastructure, youth climate activists continue pushing for the bold vision of a Green New Deal. Sunrise Movement activist Lily Gardner says Biden should forget the GOP and listen to young people, who are fired up about the prospect of a Civilian Climate Corps that would create thousands of jobs combating the climate crisis and building a sustainable future. Music by Dan Mason.

During the Great Depression, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps to improve the country's public lands, forests, and parks. Now, nearly a hundred years later, President Biden is trying to bring a similar version of it back. He wants to launch the Civilian Climate Corps to address the threat of climate change. NPR's White House correspondent Scott Detrow and National Desk Correspondent Nathan Rott report on Biden's plan and how it could play out.Click here to see photos and read more on this story.

Stopping climate change is back on the White House agenda. President Biden came into with the most ambitious climate change plans of any administration to date. He not only promised to reverse the Trump administration's regressive climate policies, including regulatory rollbacks and a withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, but also to push the United States farther on climate change action than it has ever gone before. He named climate change action as a top priority, right alongside the coronavirus pandemic, the economy, and racial justice. Rebecca Leber, Mother Jones' environmental politics and policy reporter, joined Jamilah King on the podcast this week to talk about Biden's executive orders and what they mean. "That was the first time we had a president enter office saying climate was that high of an ambition," says Rebecca Leber. ""Any one of these items on their own would be huge. But the fact that we're seeing them all together is even bigger." In his first few days in office, President Biden signed a series of executive orders to get the Untied States back into the Paris agreement, to pause the lease of fossil fuel on public lands, and to establish environmental justice in multiple federal agencies, including the Departments of State, Energy, and Treasury. He issued an executive order to set up a Civilian Climate Corps. He promised to get the United States on track to conserve 30 percent of lands and oceans by 2030. He directed federal agencies to eliminate subsidies to Big Oil and invest in clean energy solutions. His actions already seem to be prompting change in US industry. General Motors (GM) announced last week that it aims to move entirely into electric vehicle manufacturing by 2035.
