And for the last few years, it's clear, he's still at it, freeing people from things that are larger than themselves. The only difference now is he is directly helping Americans, “here” at home. It's been a long road to “here”, Tampa, but somehow the mission remained the same – helping people and freeing them. Steve also makes it very clear that he is willing to help his fellow military brothers and sisters by hiring veterans whenever possible. He knows what it's like to come home. He's served with honor, for over twenty-two years with the Navy SEALs. Integrity and honor are deeply woven into the wiring of Steve, and that flows into everything that he does. Character like this is hard to find, and you can be assured he takes every opportunity to serve you with the diligence and integrity he's lived with for most of his life. Steve leverages his extensive knowledge and background when working with Solar Systems. And his lifelong passion for all things electrical shines with each new client and each new project. Steve brings so much experience to the Solar Industry, and to new customers as well. It's easy to see why Tampa Bay Solar's future is very bright, now if we can just figure out a way to harness that! Seriously though, you can find Steve on rooftops helping the installation crew and inspecting each job to guarantee your new solar energy system is installed to his high standards.  Ann Vanek-Dasovich  Chief Business Development Officer, Solar And Energy Loan Fund (SELF) 

On this episode, we sit down with three experts in the clean energy sphere to talk about Duke Energy's proposed Carbon Plan filed at the NC Utilities Commission. In the conversation, Maggie Shober of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, highlights the plan's over reliance on technologies not yet commercially available, and its proposals to build out new natural gas resources. Claire Williamson, joining from the NC Justice Center, elevates the lack of considerations for low- and moderate-income ratepayers, often left behind in utility planning conversations. Eddy Moore from the Coastal Conservation League, helps to contextualize the plan by providing updates from South Carolina and potential implications on the region. You don't want to miss this well-rounded discussion on the path to decarbonization and increasing importance of cross-sector collaboration as clean energy advocates prepare their own Carbon Plan modeling by July 16th.

In this episode, Professor Josh Galperin, Professor of Law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law interviews me about equitable remedies and promissory estoppel.Some key takeways...1. Promissory estoppel is an equitable remedy, awarded for fairness when a legal remedy is not available.2. Promissory estoppel is only available in the absence of a legal contract.3. Promissory estoppel is available if      (1) the promisor should reasonably expect to induce action or forbearance on the part of the promisee  (objective evaluation)      (2) the promisee did rely on the promise (subjective evaluation)      (3) injustice can only be avoided by granting a remedyAbout our guest...Professor Josh Galperin teaches contracts, administrative law and environmental law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law.

Tennessee's school funding formula hasn't been meaningfully changed in the last 30 years, but in late February Governor Bill Lee and Education Commissioner Penny Schwinn released a proposal that will focus funding on students. The new Tennessee Investment in Student Achievement promises more dollars to every district. In the first part of the show, WPLN education reporter Juliana Kim explains the differences between the current and proposed funding formulas, and what it will mean for local schools and teachers. Later, the conversation shifts to the hurdles unhoused individuals deal with as they try to find an affordable and safe place to live in Middle Tennessee. These complications can include mental health and addiction struggles, and something housing advocates call the "time tax on the poor" — a reference to how long it can take to navigate services. The guests speak about their own experiences living outdoors and the "housing first" approach to ending homelessness. Guests:  Juliana Kim, WPLN News education reporter Gini Pupo-Walker, state director for Tennessee with The Education Trust Kim Perkins, currently unhoused Allen Searson, previously unhoused Laurie Green, director of the Southern Alliance for People and Animal Welfare David Langgle-Martin, director of permanent supportive housing and property development services at Park Center

Hear Bill's interview with his longtime friend, George Cavros. George is the Florida Director and Energy Policy Attorney for SACE, the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.If you believe that homeowners and business owners in the Sunshine State should be able to produce their personal or business energy supply and be fairly compensated for the excess electrons that they send back to the utility grid...this is a "must listen" episode! The goal of this radio special is to educate Floridians about two bills that are currently being heard in the Florida House and Senate that could potentially stymie the growth of individually owned solar power systems in our state. Now you might be thinking...wait a minute...how can that be? The sun's energy is clean, abundant, and free. How is it possible that attempts are being made to shut down the thriving solar industry in Florida? Listen in and learn how you can help keep Florida "up to speed" with the rest of America and protect our citizens' rights and their personal freedom to choose their energy supply.Support the show (https://solar-fit.com/contact-us/)

The report, Transportation Electrification in the Southeast (2021) prepared by Atlas and SACE, found that the Southeast (including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee), saw significant growth in transportation electrification over the past 12 months. The Southeast for instance makes up 18 percent of national population, but 37 percent of all manufacturing investment and saw large increases in EV sales, approved utility investment and charging infrastructure. That said, the Southeast continues to lag other regions. Nick, Stan, and Susan will discuss progress and the areas for future growth in the region.As Chief Economic Development Liaison at the North Carolina Department of Commerce, Susan Fleetwood has experience in supporting industry and will offer up insights about the ways that Government in North Carolina has supported the EV industry and what else government, and the private sector is able to do. Stan Cross, the Electric Transportation Policy Director at the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE), will offer his insights both as a partner in the development of the Report as well as from his experience in tracking transportation electrification in the Southeast.

Brady Watson is the Civic Engagement Coordinator with Southern Alliance for Clean Energy or SACE for short. Brady is based out of Knoxville and is responsible for organizing around ballot initiatives and utility issues that may impact climate and energy policy. He is in charge of a Tennessee state-wide campaign where they want to see lower utility bills for Tennesseans most in need; increase access to solar energy, and put the “public” back in public power. A part of this large campaign is a more localized campaign called ACT on KUB - KUB is The Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) - this is the main utility provider in Knoxville. They have been a long-time, trusted community partner, yet the rules governing KUB have facilitated a drift away from the people KUB serves. Here's what they've done lately: Increased its mandatory monthly electrical fixed fee from $6 in 2010 to $20.50 in 2020. All utility fixed fees on customers' bills now exceed $85 per month. Rushed signing a 20-year long-term contract with power provider TVA, with no meaningful opportunity for public comment even though customers' dollars are on the line, which has put customers at risk. Spent hundreds of thousands of customers' dollars on public relations consultants to boost KUB's image, even though KUB is a public-power monopoly without competition With Brady we talk about KUB and what they have done lately, impacts and where KUB gets their energy from, actions they've done to get the public involved, and other energy related campaigns SACE is working on in TN.
