I spoke with the team about its 496-page draft recommendations for how the city's overworked parks system can get there

This was a fascinating microgrid unlike any other I have seen, which showed that wind, solar and batteries can provide lifesaving electricity and heat, even in the frozen north.
For Ep. 257, Chris traveled to a remote, off-road community in Alaska’s Arctic Circle to see how they are integrating renewables into the microgrid that powers the town. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

In remote, off-road communities of Alaska, microgrids supplied by renewables aren’t just economic; they’re what keep people alive.
