Today on The Metro, we discussed what it would look like for our utilities to run entirely on renewable energy and how to bring the cost down for consumers. Professor of history at Virginia Tech Richard Hirsh joins the show to discuss what sparked the current structure of utility companies in America. We also talk to Managing Director of the Rocky Mountain Institute Mark Dyson and Legislative and Political Director of the Michigan Sierra Club Christy McGillivray about obstacles facing community-owned utilities and renewable energy expansion.
