Current renewable energy goals often create a perverse disincentive, leading organizations to purchase ineffective renewable energy certificates rather than deploying local rooftop or community

Current renewable energy goals often create a perverse disincentive, leading organizations to purchase ineffective renewable energy certificates rather than deploying local rooftop or community solar. This approach fails to physically clean the electric grid.

A mindset shift, exemplified by the City and County of Denver, can unlock substantial investments. These funds should be reallocated to solutions that enable a physically 100% renewable electric grid and decarbonization, fostering local workforce development, utility savings, and resilient infrastructure.

Jonathan Rogers, Denver's Renewable Energy Specialist, spearheads these efforts, guiding the city towards its 2030 goal for 100% renewable electricity. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

"Two American Families: 1991-2024" is a "knockout documentary" (The New York Times) chronicling the economic struggles of two Milwaukee families—one Black, one white—over three decades. From 1991 to 2024, the Stanleys and Neumanns have battled poverty amidst a changing U.S. economy, marked by global shifts and lower-wage work, raising unsettling questions about America's economic future.

With profound intimacy, this FRONTLINE film reveals how these families and their now-grown children have navigated six presidential administrations, facing continuous challenges. As Terry Neumann notes, "It's like we haven't come very far," yet Jackie Stanley declares, "I won't give up." Directed by Tom Casciato and Kathleen Hughes, it offers a powerful window into enduring hardship.
