Guests today are:

Anthony Rogers-Wright, The Green New Deal’s Origin Story: Anthony Rogers-Wright  is the Policy Coordinator for the Climate Justice Alliance (CJA).  He has over ten years of policy analysis, community organizing and outreach/advocacy experience. Anthony will explain the origins of the climate justice ideas in the GND as well as discuss why he and the CJA believe that a “just transition” to a greener world must place race, gender and class at the center of solutions.  Anthony was interviewed at the recent NetRoots Conference in Philadelphia.

Peter Winslow, Future for PES?:  Peter Winslow has worked on a Port Development Plan and on projects for the Department of Defense, Carnegie Mellon, Siemens, and Rutgers. He is the President of the Evolve Foundation and the Founder/President of the FLAG (the Free Loan Association for Germantown). He has followed developments at PES (Philadelphia Energy Solutions, the largest refinery on the east coast) for several years.  This is the next installment from about the fast moving situation at the former PES refinery in the wake of the fire and closure of the facility. What can be done with the facility now (can it be used for greener purposes?) and how is the community getting involved.

Planet Philadelphia is now a partner in Covering Climate Now, a global collaboration of more than 250 news outlets to strengthen coverage of the climate story. We felt it was appropriate to join this journalistic collaborative when asked as Planet Philadelphia’s entire focus is on environmental issues of which the climate crisis is a large part.
 
The climate crisis will be discussed on today’s Planet Philadelphia. Tune in to Planet Philadelphia 4-5:00 p.m. today, 9/20/19, at 92.9 FM WGGT-LP or listen to the live stream on gtownradio.com.

Today on Planet Philadelphia we are exploring geothermal energy production, and it’s possible new uses to help solve our energy and climate crisis with Katherine Young, laboratory program manager in Geoscience at the NREL (National Renewable Energy Lab). 

We are also exploring what is happening with the ongoing fast moving situation with the PES refinery with Peter Winslow who has followed developments at Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) for a several years. Might geothermal energy be one good new use?

Tune in to Planet Philadelphia 4-5 pm today 9/6/19 for this and more.
