On this episode, we talk to Brianna Esteves of Ceres to learn more about why companies like Google, New Belgium, Sierra Nevada, Mars, Nestle, and Unilever are all opposed to HB951. Brianna talks us through the letter penned by the business community outlining their concerns over a lack of access to affordable and accessible clean energy programs in this bill. Tune in to learn more about HB951 and where it currently stands in the legislature.

We also take another trip with the NC "Wind" Traveler to Northeastern North Carolina where we visit Pasquotank and Perquimans Counties with Daniel Pate.
