Description

Welcome to "Direct Climate Democracy Radio," our three-part series outlining the history, theory, importance and urgency of the El Paso Climate Charter ballot initiative. {www.bit.ly/epclimatecharter)

Part One is entitled "Fossil Fuel Dictatorship in El Paso"

There is a fossil fuel crisis in El Paso. We’re the 10th sunniest city in the world, yet only use 5% renewable energy. Our region’s wealth in our solar potential, yet we rely on energy which harms the climate and poisons our lungs. Why? Who owns our electricity? Why is the mega-bank JP Morgan interested in our local electric grid?
