Hosts Hale Masaki and Isabella Killius talk TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority), the largest energy provider in the country, and a government agency born out of the New Deal that was once an admirable public program, but is now tied too closely to corporate interests and has little input from the people it is supposed to serve. They are joined by two guests, both strong advocates for a more democratized and sustainable TVA: Bri Knisley, the campaign coordinator for Appalachian Voices and co-convener of the Tennessee Valley Energy Democracy Movement, and Jason Carney, owner of Energy Electives and President of the Tennessee Solar Energy Association.
