This Week in Cleantech is a new, weekly podcast covering the most impactful stories in cleantech and climate in 15 minutes or less.

This week’s episode features Maddie Stone from Grist, who wrote about how Hurricane Helene caused the temporary closure of Spruce Pine, NC's two main quartz mines, which has disrupted the solar supply chain. 

This week we have multiple "Cleantechers of the Week.” The industry has truly come together to support those impacted by Hurricane Helene:

• Maggie Sasser from Pine Gate Renewables has organized efforts to help rebuild.
• Nico Johnson from Suncast Media and Tom Weirich from EDP Renewables have raised awareness and shared ways to support affected communities.
• Jason Grumet and the American Clean Power Association co-hosted a Hurricane Helene Relief Fund Reception. 
• Also thanks to all the other cleantechers this week who donated and helped John Engel bring gas cans, water, food and blankets to those in Asheville, NC.
