Episode Description

Rooftop solar, net metering, and clean energy policies are being dismantled across the U.S. From the effective cancellation of the Inflation Reduction Act to broken contracts and financial clawbacks, fossil-fuel interests are pushing hard to regain control of our energy system.


This week on The Energy Show, Barry Cinnamon is joined by Bernadette Del Chiaro, Senior Vice President at the Environmental Working Group (EWG) and former Executive Director of CALSSA, for a powerful, no-nonsense conversation about what’s really happening—and how consumers can push back.


• Why utilities are attacking rooftop solar and net metering

• The truth behind the “cost-shift” myth

• EWG’s landmark lawsuit against the California Public Utilities Commission

• How bad utility policy drove 17,000+ solar job losses

• The rise of balcony solar / plug-in solar and why utilities fear it

• Why decentralized energy = cheaper, safer, more reliable power

• What California (and the rest of the country) must do next
