How an Entire Oakland Block Decided to Go Solar
Manage episode 398936187 series 2054784
Roughly a quarter of California’s carbon emissions come from our buildings and the energy that powers them. And we need to cut those emissions down to next to nothing to avoid the scary effects of climate change. Making a home green is pretty easy if you start from scratch. But it gets a whole lot harder when it comes to converting the millions of homes in California that already exist. The ones where most of us live. Climate reporter Laura Klivans takes us to East Oakland, where one city block is taking a revolutionary approach to reducing their emissions: by electrifying together, all at once. This story comes to us from KQED’s podcast Sold Out: Rethinking Housing In America.
And it's been just over a year since the mass shooting at two mushroom farms in Half Moon Bay killed seven farmworkers, all of whom were immigrants from China and Mexico. One nonprofit has been providing survivors and the farmworker community with mental health support including a music therapy class. KQED’s Blanca Torres brings us this story.
