Ordinarily, we would upload an interview at the end of a podcast episode. However, in this special two-part interview series with the Sierra Club, we talk about something that requires immediate action. In this first part, we interviewed the chairman of the Tampa Bay Sierra Club, Kent Bailey about how climate change is not only an environmental issue but one of concern for the economy and national security.  Moreover, TECO is considering raising electricity prices by 4 percent to pay for a billion-dollar investment in a fracked gas plant. In other words, our electric bills will go up to pay for something that will end up costing us more in the future! We have a chance to hold TECO accountable at a Fracked Gas Plant Hearing on Monday, March 11th @5PM at the Hilton Garden Inn in Riverview. We will be there and we hope you will join us. This is our chance to show them that we will not accept this. In the words of Mr. Bailey, "silence becomes consent" after this hearing.
