    Thanks for covering the ECOSIA search engine!! I've been using it since there were only a few thousand trees planted and am so glad it keeps growing, keeps planting; no need to use any other search engine.

  • Love the podcast not the music

    I love that I can learn something daily from this podcast, but honestly, the intro music is so annoying I skip it sometimes to avoid having to listen to the music.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The little-known group that decides your electricity prices
Q: How are electricity prices determined, and what can ratepayers do to participate in the process?
Prices are driven by a proposal from utility companies that goes to the state Public Utility Commission, which analyzes the drivers behind proposed hikes—like fuel costs and investments in the grid—and decides how costs are distributed among residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Ratepayers can participate by attending public hearings, submitting comments, and relying on consumer advocacy groups to represent their interests.
Air quality sensors reveal pollution hot spots
Q: What can communities do to protect their families and advocate for better air quality?
By using localized sensor data to educate neighbors, engage local leaders, and push for policies that reduce emissions, communities can turn awareness into concrete actions and advocacy.
