Tell us what you think of the show!

Hello, Factor This! listeners. This is John Engel, editor-in-chief of Renewable Energy World and POWERGRID International. As many of you know, I live in Asheville, which was devastated from Tropical Storm Helene. 

This conversation between myself and Renewable Energy World content director Paul Gerke was hastily recorded on Wednesday, Oct. 2, so please excuse the production quality. Some of the conditions discussed in this podcast have changed since recording-- gas is now readily available in Asheville and Duke Energy has restored power to at least 90% of the Carolinas. 

I love Asheville. To see many of its best elements destroyed is beyond tragic. 10 days after the storm, most of the city remains without water. Remote mountain regions are impassable. People are still missing. We need your help. 

Please consider supporting these organizations: 

• North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund 
• Beloved Asheville
• Samaritan's Purse
• Footprint Project

Thank you to all of you who continued to support Asheville's recovery. It means the world to me.
