Mariel Nanasi on KSFR - 12_21_18 - WAKE UP CALL_New Mexico's #GreenNewDeal

Stephen Spitz hosts this monthly talk show featuring in-depth interviews with people who have an impact on New Mexico history, politics, public policy and culture.

Mariel engages in a dialogue about bold solutions to address climate disruption.  New Mexico's monopoly electric utility companies have failed to serve customers with low cost renewable energy. 

We are at an exciting energy crossroads. Will we double down on the old paradigm or change it up for locally-controlled not-for-profit clean and cheaper energy? Indeed we are in a new era of energy. The idea of centralized generation, a system that relies on large nuclear plants in Arizona or climate ravaging gas plants producing and transmitting electricity through hundreds of miles of transmission lines customer demand centers, is inefficient, expensive, outdated, and fails to generate any local wealth in our communities. Despite high electricity costs and pollution, we are not creating the renewable energy economy we need. 

Today, decentralized generation is feasible, available, and will depend on smaller-scale renewable energy generation from solar and wind energy with storage. The new system will be close to home and located on Pueblo land and near city centers. 

Sound wonky? It is. But it also means that YOU can get proximate to your electricity consumption and learn how YOU have the power to change from a climate altering, high-cost monopoly system, to local choice, democratically powered energy systems. 

It is being done today in 8 states with greener energy and cheaper rates. The antidote to depression is activism - see how you can be a change agent for climate justice. Learn about New Energy Economy's work to "change the way the game is played" and shift our energy system from corporate monopoly domination to true energy democracy.
