  Season Finale: I'm Not Waiting (S5:E12)

  Jun 4, 202618 minS5

  <p>This episode is different. No guests. No data. Just Carolyn Parrs revealing what she has been sitting with since finishing eleven conversations about energy affordability this season — and what she believes every leader in this space needs to hear right now.</p><p>This is not a political statement. It is a leadership reckoning. Because the truth this season made impossible to ignore is this: the most credible responses to the energy affordability crisis are not coming from Washington. They never were. They are coming from a lender in Florida who built what the banks refused to build. A ut...

  Leading Through Energy Affordability: The Episode That Predicted This Season (S5:E11)

  May 28, 202644 minS5

  <p>The pendulum always swings towards justice. That's what Dr. Tony Reames told host, Carolyn Parrs in the last season of the Just Power podcast. It's the thread that has quietly connected every conversation in the Leading Through Energy Affordability series since.</p><p>Dr. Tony Reames built the first-ever Office of Energy Justice Policy and Analysis at the U.S. Department of Energy and now directs the Detroit Sustainability Clinic, where he works alongside communities navigating the very pressures this series has been mapping all season.

  Leading Through Energy Affordability: An Open Door Isn't a Seat at the Table (S5:E10)

  May 20, 202640 minS5

  <p>Most people will never set foot in an energy regulatory proceeding. And for the ones who do show up — without a lawyer, without technical expertise, without money to intervene — showing up is often where their influence ends. Jolette Westbrook spent eight years as a utility commissioner in Massachusetts watching that dynamic play out, and she's spent the years since working to dismantle it. As a Director and Senior Attorney at the Environmental Defense Fund, she's one of the people most focused on turning community participation from a checkbox into something that actually changes outcomes.</p><p><b>Highlights</b></p><b...

  Leading Through Energy Affordability: Rewriting the Rules of Lending (S5:E9)

  May 13, 202644 minS5

  <p>When you design a financial system around people instead of profit, it works. That's not a theory. For Duanne Andrade, CEO of the Solar and Energy Loan Fund (SELF), it's 13 years of receipts: $60 million deployed, less than 2% default rate, and 70% of borrowers are low-to-moderate income families that traditional lenders turned away.</p><p>As part of our LeadingThrough Energy Affordability series, in this episode Duanne breaks down what a credible response to energy affordability actually looks like when capital flows to the people who need it most — not just the ones who look best on paper. From a widowed wo...

  Leading Through Energy Affordability: The Watchdogs Inside the Room (S5:E8)

  May 6, 202637 minS5

  <p>The affordability crisis isn't a fuel cost problem or an infrastructure problem — it's a power problem. Who's in the room when rates get set, who has decades of precedent on their side, and who's actually fighting for the customers that neither the utility nor the industrial intervenors are motivated to protect. John Wilson is one of those people. As Vice President at Grid Strategies, he has worked inside more than 70 utility proceedings across the US and Canada — representing consumer advocates, environmental organizations, and public interest groups. </p><p>In this episode, he's direct about what he sees: where cost accou...
