Empowering Communities with Solar Security: A Revolutionary Approach with Benjamin John Lee


Listen Later

In a captivating conversation on the “LOA Today” podcast, Walt Thiessen and Jodie Lynn Craven sat down with Benjamin Lee, a retired Air Force bomb technician, to uncover a remarkable story of personal transformation and a visionary plan to reshape the future of energy in America.

Benjamin’s journey is one of resilience and reinvention. From diffusing bombs in the Middle East to becoming a fine woodworker and then an electrical apprentice, his path has been anything but conventional. But it was during his time in electrical school that Benjamin had a profound realization – the renewable energy industry was plagued by inefficiencies and corruption, with billions of dollars being funneled into the pockets of large corporations rather than benefiting the people.

Driven by a deep sense of purpose and a desire to make a lasting impact, Benjamin embarked on a mission to create a new model for renewable energy development. His solution? A nonprofit organization called the Solar Security Net, which aims to provide free residential energy to Americans while ensuring the country’s energy independence from foreign fossil fuels.

“If you fix yourself, we will give you purpose,” Benjamin recounts, describing the moment of clarity that sparked his ambitious plan. Determined to break free from the status quo, he took drastic steps, including quitting his job and going through a period of sobriety and self-reflection.

The Solar Security Net’s three-phase plan is as innovative as it is ambitious. By leveraging government subsidies and the transferable investment tax credit, Benjamin aims to build a vast network of solar infrastructure, with the excess energy being used to produce green hydrogen – a truly carbon-neutral fuel source. The key, he says, is to have a nonprofit entity that can absorb the cost differential between gray and green hydrogen, allowing the technology to advance and become more efficient over time.

But Benjamin’s vision extends far beyond just energy production. He wants to start in disadvantaged communities, providing free energy to residents and using the surplus to fund further development and support charitable initiatives. “This plan is not going to be an overnight thing,” he acknowledges, “but as this goes on, and the more resources we get put into this, the larger and wider this net will spread.”

Jodielynn Craven, a money coach and abundance teacher, was captivated by Benjamin’s approach. “There’s this overwhelming sense that there’s nothing you can do,” she laments, “and instead of taking that stance, Benjamin said, ‘No, there is something you can do.'” Jodielynn’s words of encouragement resonated deeply with Benjamin, who admitted that he had been struggling with the challenges of building a nonprofit from the ground up.

Walt Thiessen, the podcast host, also recognized the significance of Benjamin’s vision, drawing parallels to the iconic Star Trek episode where one person with a vision can spark a revolution. “There literally is with every revolution, one man or one woman with a vision, that’s the starting point,” he observed.

As the conversation unfolded, it became clear that Benjamin’s journey is not just about energy, but about personal growth, resilience, and the power of vision. “If you don’t know what port you’re headed to, no wind is favorable,” he said, emphasizing the importance of having a clear direction and purpose.

The challenges ahead are undoubtedly daunting, but Benjamin remains undeterred. “It’s just going to be a process of refining the message and just continuously putting it out there,” he says, determined to build the necessary connections and support to bring his vision to life.

In the end, Walt Thiessen’s parting words encapsulate the essence of Benjamin’s story: “On behalf of those people you’ve never met, never seen, never will meet, perhaps never will see, the ones that you haven’t even reached out to yet that you’re going to reach out to on their behalf. Thank you for what you’re doing. You’re already making a difference in this world.”
