00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:29,360
Welcome, welcome, welcome ladies and gentlemen to another exciting edition of Solar Now and

3
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,320
the Future with his economic impact on black America and I'm your host Ronald DeFate and

4
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,440
you know if you've gone us on a regular basis.

5
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,360
The slogan for this show, if there's power in numbers then the Positive Change Purchasing

6
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,960
Corporate of LLC captures that power for your financial benefit.

7
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,760
The Positive Change Purchasing Corporate serves as an economic blueprint for renewable energy

8
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,360
companies both large and small along with increasing market share for African and African-American

9
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:04,600
renewable energy companies to increase market share for those firms to address the high

10
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:10,880
energy costs at our historically black colleges and universities to utilize black on farmland

11
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:17,640
and HBCU campuses to develop capacity of initiatives for renewable energy projects to bring down

12
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:23,040
the under and under employment of young African and African-American men and women locally,

13
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,080
nationally and throughout the diaspora also to educate the African and African-American

14
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:33,400
community locally, nationally and throughout the diaspora about the economic impacts of

15
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,360
climate change and the need for environmental education through black talk radio programs

16
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:44,960
such as Solar Now and the Future with his economic impact on black America.

17
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,680
Also ladies and gentlemen you know I'm your host Ronald DeFate and today's date is January

18
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:58,040
3rd, 10th, 2025 and once again we're back on the platform of Black Talk Radio because

19
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:04,000
we had some communications issues with the Black Talk.

20
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:11,560
The last show will be done on January 31st of 2025 so that's why we're doing a redo

21
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:21,280
today of the show that we did several weeks ago talking about addressing the impact of

22
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:27,480
the Biden-Harris administration not codifying offices through the six federal agencies of

23
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:38,600
the federal government which have played a tremendous impact as it relates to three words

24
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:55,960
justice, equity, inclusion and diversity which seems to be a term that the incoming administration

25
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:11,120
which we refer to as COVID-45 plus two, the President Trump have decided that they're

26
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,960
going to completely eliminate it.

27
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:21,440
The problem with that ladies and gentlemen is that we have to realize that during the

28
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:34,000
course of the development of the Biden-Harris administration the first executive order that

29
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:42,880
President Biden signed was Executive Order 008 which made it very very clear that Build

30
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:51,160
Back Better and the Inflation Reduction Act that came out of the Invest in America initiative

31
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:58,480
that gave rise to the Justice 40 initiative which we will be addressing this morning has

32
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:11,160
very substantive consequences if the offices of energy, justice and equity are eliminated

33
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,040
across all six federal agencies.

34
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:21,080
Now because it was done by executive order it was not codified has not been codified

35
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:28,120
by the 118th or 19th Congress and that is what this show is about today ladies and gentlemen

36
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:37,000
trying to shine a light on the issue that have some very serious repercussions and implications

37
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:46,640
as it relates to our federal workforce as we know diversity and equity and inclusion

38
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:55,680
has been targeted by the mega group and by various conservative think tanks in this country

39
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,560
and they're being rolled back at our colleges and universities but can we really afford

40
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:08,400
for them to be rolled back in our workplace and these are some of the discussions that

41
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,560
we will be having this morning.

subject matter that we're going to be discussing this morning and as you know ladies and gentlemen

47
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:53,000
I don't have a scheduled guest this morning we have been working very very diligently trying

48
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:03,200
to tap into a number of public communications offices around a number of topics and subject

49
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:10,720
matters which we intend to bring to this platform solar now and the future with its economic

50
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:18,360
impact and we'll have that discussion a little later on but you know who brings you this

51
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:26,680
show is brought to you every week by once again the Positive Change Purchasing Cooperative

00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:53,360
find that information now with that being said ladies and gentlemen we're not going

56
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:59,000
to beat around the bush this morning because we have some very very important issues that

57
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:07,640
we really want to talk about this morning and bring to fruition on this show now as

58
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:15,000
we indicated we launched here at the Positive Change Purchasing Cooperative we launched

59
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:26,080
back on February the 27th a national campaign to try in fact to bring light to this issue

60
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:37,040
surrounding the Biden-Harris administration to work with at that time the 18th we're still

61
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:47,800
in the 118th Congress the 119th Congress has been sworn in so we want to be pushing as

62
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:53,760
hard as we can to get this information out to concerned stakeholders and there are some

63
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,800
very concerned stakeholders ladies and gentlemen when we look at the initiatives what they

64
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:09,280
have bought to the table the Justice 40 Initiative now we need as everyone we always need to

65
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:18,800
know what is at stake with this initiative the Justice 40 Initiative and where are these

66
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:30,920
challenges and what do we stand to gain or lose because of these initiatives being on

67
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:40,520
the line and as most of you know that living in the DMV area we know that there will be

68
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:50,400
a tremendous number of residents who reside in Maryland and Virginia impacted by this

69
00:11:50,400 --> 00:12:03,680
initiative of completely eliminating these offices through the next administration incoming

70
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:11,280
administration and it was very very interesting to me ladies and gentlemen I've had the issue

71
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:20,320
chance to clearly look at this over time and the question becomes you know over the last

72
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:29,720
six four years the words equity diversity and inclusions have been constantly used through

73
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:38,760
our six federal agencies but the question becomes what do they really mean as it relates

74
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:48,080
to when the US Department of Energy Justice and Equity is getting ready to be eliminated

75
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:55,480
across all six federal agencies which we've indicated now when we begin to look at the

76
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:04,880
issue what is the issue the issue is these agencies were created by an executive order

77
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:10,840
which President Biden signed the first day he came to office what's the implications

78
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:17,920
it means the next president that comes to office can eliminate that if it is not codified

79
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:27,160
and if Congress does not vote to approve the budget for that agency it goes away now as

80
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:38,240
we look at this the fact is that 1.7 trillion dollars has been spent over the last two years

81
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:50,360
for our African-American community less than 2% of that money has been directed to African-American

82
00:13:50,360 --> 00:14:01,560
owned banks businesses CDFIs and non-profit organizations so why and and how are we so

83
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:11,120
late coming to the game because the question that I raised here on this platform going

84
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:20,360
back to 2020 is where is the green economic development plan in the implementation of

85
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:28,160
the Biden invest in invest in America agenda build back better and the inflation reduction

86
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:34,240
act many of you know if you've been following me on this platform so the now in the future

87
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:43,840
with its economic impact America we have constantly beat the drum the irony of this ladies and

88
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:55,120
gentlemen is that the largest benefactor of the government's contractors laws over the

89
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:04,000
last 20 years have been white women and 53% of them just voted for Donald Trump in this

90
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:14,240
past election and put him over the top with white men and Hispanic male votes and it's

91
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:19,080
they voted against their own interest because they've been the ones who financially has

92
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:27,720
benefited the greatest of this from this a day contracting law under the government so

93
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:36,800
when we begin to look at coupled with the project 25 makes the case that the new administration

94
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:45,240
in the US Department of Energy Justice and Equity is will be done if we don't just make

95
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:54,240
up our minds and get real serious about getting the 119 Congress and Senate to make sure that

96
00:15:54,240 --> 00:16:04,360
they go to battle to make sure that this is taken care of the codification of this agency

97
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:13,800
one of the most and that's official opportunities which Biden has a chance to do before he goes

98
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:30,520
out and which would truly submit his legacy now the impacts of racial disparities in the

99
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:37,640
government contracts now there has been a recent report put out by the White House office

100
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:45,600
on economic advisors and they've used data from a number of various studies that provides

101
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:53,280
new evidence that discrimination likely plays a significant role in CEA contracting opportunities

102
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:59,640
as it relates to African-American and of the minority firms which provides new evidence

103
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:11,240
of discrimination and analyzes the two studies and summaries of hundreds of individual studies

104
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:18,960
with racial disparities and ratios of state and local government contracting opportunities

105
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:26,400
that cover the funding that's coming out of our six federal agencies and that's very important

106
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:31,160
ladies and gentlemen because here in the state of Maryland I have worked with working with

107
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:42,920
my delegate state delegate Mrs. Dana Tardis who has who last year introduced the Justice

108
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,800
40 initiative here in the state of Maryland even though it did not get out of committee

109
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:53,720
we were able to get that legislation introduced and we'll be working with her once again

110
00:17:53,720 --> 00:18:01,600
to see how we can move the baton forward because out of a 12.4 billion dollars as of January

111
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:12,720
1 of 2024 and 174 major construction projects in the state of Maryland not one African-American

112
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:21,040
developer had a lead position in the contracting and we have a black governor the first of

113
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:29,280
its in the history of the state less more so there's a lot of work that we need to do

114
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,160
and things that have to get done and we're going to have to get it done nobody's going

115
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:43,560
to say what's better now as we begin to look at the broad categories in industry and span

116
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:56,320
contracts between 19 look going looking back at from 1990 1977 to 2019 this the CEA has

117
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:04,160
re-examined these combined data and has linked data to the studies now racial disparities

118
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:10,880
in contractors dollars exists with minority-owned firms receiving smaller share of contracting

119
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:22,960
dollars in their representation among available firms representation gaps are not restricted

120
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:33,120
to any one ethnic group and significant gaps exist between white-owned firms black Hispanic

121
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:41,240
Asians Native Americans or other minority-owned firms disparities have not improved significantly

122
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:50,640
since the 1900s and were largely in the years leading up to 2019 then the period which was

123
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:58,040
covered in the data disparities disparate the disparities are much more pronounced in

124
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:06,320
terms of contracting dollars opposing to bring a contract at all this is due to minority

125
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:12,520
firms being much less likely to be primed contractors and generally receiving smaller

126
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:21,240
contracts than non minority-owned firms disparities by race are largely geographic locations which

127
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:29,560
are more measured by racial bias so these are actual reports ladies and gentlemen and

128
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:39,080
this data was put out by the White House Biden Harris administration okay and as we began

129
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:47,400
to look at the fact sheets that are put out by the strategy outreach and communications

130
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,600
this is where we have this data so this is not something that we are making up we're

131
00:20:52,600 --> 00:21:00,240
just simply repeating and looking at the numbers and the facts so as we have indicated there

132
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:12,360
is definitely an issue it has been an issue for a long time about the funding coming out

133
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:18,960
of these federal agencies and contracts so as we begin to look at the opportunities the

134
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:28,120
executive order 1408 created and invest in America and the build back better which we

135
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:35,480
know is the inflation reduction act which gave rise to once again the Justice 40 initiative

136
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:47,640
now as we look at the Justice 40 initiative we need to understand really what's at stake

137
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:55,400
with the US Department of Office of Energy Justice and Equity being eliminated the Justice

138
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:06,680
40 Act initiative covers includes 24 offices and more than a hundred billion dollars in

139
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:13,440
investment it includes federal investment categories such as energy efficiency training

140
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:22,200
workforce development other clean energy technologies through community benefits plans DOE remain

141
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:28,000
committed to ensuring that such investments lead to tangible economic benefits to underserved

142
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:38,280
communities increasing access to new energy industries industry enterprise creation jobs

143
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:48,600
energy security and overall energy affordability for our low and lower income communities these

144
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:57,680
are the things that are at stake as we look at where we're going coming into this administration

145
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:09,200
and their sole target is to look at the money that already been approved through the legislative

146
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:21,640
process through the executive order now some of the things that are somewhat at stake are

147
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:33,720
the regional energy democracy initiative now the EJE established five resilient hubs to

148
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:41,280
strengthen community energy resilience for Puerto Rico through a co-operative agreement

149
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:50,400
nearly one million dollars was dedicated in funding that supports by reliable electricity

150
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:56,920
doing great events and climate related disasters funding efforts and developments for reasonable

151
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:04,160
energy systems such as solar plus storage systems community serving facilities that

152
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:12,560
have historically lacked access to reliable electricity and experienced prolonged outages

153
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:19,920
after the disasters which we know we have a serious problem in this country trying to

154
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,880
combat climate change all we have to do is look turn on the news and look at the wire

155
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:33,960
fires in the west look at the storms coming across the US right now as I said here in

156
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:40,320
Washington DC right outside of our nation's capital in Washington DC and Tacoma Park Maryland

157
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:47,760
in my in my office we're looking at it feels like Siberia here and and and and that's using

158
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:56,280
it and being very very kind as we relates to looking at the adjustments in the temperature

159
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:06,840
gauge as it relates to where we are where we were and how the temperature has just plummeted

160
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:15,880
but we are still blessed ladies and gentlemen because we're not in LA facing those Santa

161
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:30,360
Ana winds with wind gusts of a hundred miles an hour and to look at the misinformation

162
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:36,120
campaign that has come out concerning the mayor of California and she's been doing an

163
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:46,480
outstanding job there she happened to be on a in Africa business trip representing Los

164
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:57,800
Angeles and this fire started at 10 a.m. on Tuesday and escalated so quickly it has burned

165
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:10,480
more is the largest fire ever recorded in LA and the surrounding sand and Anna and the

166
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:16,560
valley out there and if anybody's familiar with the Los Angeles you know that when you

167
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:27,160
go into the area where these homes were destroyed these were very very wealthy areas that have

168
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:35,760
been destroyed by these fire farms so our plans go out to those families and their loved

169
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:43,280
ones and their loss but we have to get a real grip that climate change is a real phenomena

170
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:50,040
and that's what this is about ladies and gentlemen how do we address climate change and how and

171
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:57,800
why is it that we have the African-American community who we didn't get the 40 acres of

172
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:05,800
the mute in the mute but the justice 40 initiative we have 40% of the investment was supposed

173
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:11,760
to be directed to low and moderate income communities and guess what ladies and gentlemen

174
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:18,600
when we began to look at the numbers they just don't add up because we as African-Americans

175
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:28,760
are at the bottom of the burrow as relates to the amount of actual funding that has come

176
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:35,160
to our communities less than 2% of 1.7 trillion dollars and I will continue to beat the drum

177
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:48,320
around this issue now the EJE here in Washington DC as I indicated they have done I felt an

178
00:27:48,320 --> 00:28:01,720
outstanding job and there was a recent letter that was put out by the acting director Mrs.

179
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:12,480
Tamela Gordon director of the principal director for the office of energy justice and equity

180
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:20,000
and they put out a year in review and in that year in review it went on to say this has

181
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:27,880
been a year of growth and change for the office of energy justice and equity EJE yet throughout

182
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:37,120
2024 EJE has also been a beacon of hope faithfully dedicated to the decade long goals of providing

183
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:44,480
underserved low and moderate income families with the ability to take part in the American

184
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,920
energy systems by working with colleagues across the department of energy and the national

185
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:58,680
laboratories field and their entire family this past spring I came aboard as the principal

186
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:08,720
director of EJE joining a team with a legacy of DOE itself now the reason why this is important

187
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:16,680
to me ladies and gentlemen is because I have been in communications with Mr. Antoine Thompson

188
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:22,120
who is the director of the greater Washington clean cities collaboration group and he brought

189
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:33,240
this to my attention around the fact that the offices were created through an executive

190
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:41,400
order and that he had approaches Mrs. Shalonda Baker who was the former director of this

191
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:50,840
office to speak with Mrs. Jennifer Granholm who has been the head of the department secretary

192
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:57,920
department of energy under the Biden Harris administration we have gotten little and no

193
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:11,000
traction from that administration about addressing this issue about codification of this office

194
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:17,040
and these offices around the six federal agencies of course she would have to work with the

195
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:25,040
other secretaries at the various agencies but they have blown it ladies and gentlemen

196
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:33,200
they are out of office now and there are so many initiatives that have come out of these

197
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:38,920
various agencies and we want to go back to sharing some of those initiatives and things

198
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:48,960
that are at that stand to be lost because there has been no action as we indicated we

199
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:55,520
talked about the resilience hubs in Puerto Rico that were established also ladies and

200
00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:05,080
gentlemen for the last three years here in Washington DC the department of energy has

201
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:15,760
hosted a justice and I have attended all three of those justice week events and they have

202
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:24,720
been very inspiring to me as one who has served as president of the national association of

203
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:37,640
blacks and solar from 2018 to just recently we reelected a younger president Mr. Nathaniel

204
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:45,120
Daly to take over that position and I am now serving as chairman of the board of directors

205
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:51,120
for the national association of blacks and solar and we have done a great deal of advocacy

206
00:31:51,120 --> 00:32:05,720
work around these issues of trying to gather more funding for creation of more young African

207
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:12,120
American African-American coming into this green economy and this energy space.

208
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:18,160
Now as we begin to look at the solar industry looking at the last data that was put out

209
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:26,840
by the solar foundation and SIA who are charged the solar industry trade association and the

210
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,880
solar foundation which is charged with your tax dollars they prepare the studies and they

211
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:39,600
look at the issues of diversity and equity in the solar industry the last numbers that

212
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:51,240
we were able to look at somewhere around African-American around 8% in the workforce.

213
00:32:51,240 --> 00:33:01,160
Hispanics are somewhere around 16% in the workforce as you begin to look at the installation

214
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:07,280
as installers but when you begin to look into the administrative levels and look at the

215
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:14,480
number of firms that are doing business in the US we have over 13,000 solar installation

216
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:20,680
and design firms doing business in the US and we have less than 35 African-American

217
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:28,320
owned firms nationwide and when you look at the total number of firms whether it be IT

218
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:37,080
software investment firms which are African-American owned and run in the green energy space they

219
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:46,360
are less than 100 firms total in total so there is a tremendous amount of need to support

220
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,120
African-American based firms.

221
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:59,640
Mrs. Denise Fairchild who heads Emerald City's organization has done an outstanding job in

222
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:07,200
developing a community playbook which was also one of the things that came out of the

223
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:17,520
EJG office at the Department of Energy but we are going to look at also at the program

224
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:22,600
called faculty applied clean energy sciences.

225
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:35,600
The EJG launched this this year and from that the clean energy sciences spaces program provided

226
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:43,200
clean energy research opportunities to science, technology, engineering and math and STEM

227
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:49,720
faculty from minority serving institutions including tribal colleges and universities

228
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:53,240
historically black colleges and universities.

229
00:34:53,240 --> 00:35:01,680
Places programs goals are to promote diversity inclusion in the energy sector and help teachers

230
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:13,200
inspire more minority students to go into the STEM area and pursue careers in the new

231
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,200
clean energy area.

232
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:20,880
These are the things that are at stake ladies and gentlemen.

233
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:30,760
This is why we did a we are doing a what we would call a retake with this particular live

234
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:42,120
stream when we originally did this several weeks ago we were not able to deliver this

235
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:48,160
message the way we wanted to deliver this message because we did not have all of quite

236
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,080
a bit of data that we at that time that we have now.

237
00:35:52,080 --> 00:36:02,680
Now we also know that through the Department of Energy EJG office that a low income community

238
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,880
bonus credit program was created.

239
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:13,280
Under the Inflation Reduction Act EJG successfully partnered with IRS to complete the first two

240
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,800
years of low income bonus credits.

241
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:24,880
DOE supports IRS and its administration of the program and oversees the program applicants

242
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:25,880
portal.

243
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:38,840
With 23 in 23 the program year resulted in 3.5 billion dollars in private and public

244
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,840
clean energy investments.

245
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,200
Let me repeat that ladies and gentlemen.

246
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:57,400
Until year 2023 you had 3.5 billion dollars in public private investment in clean energy

247
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:06,440
investments from more than 49,000 solar facilities in low and moderate income communities are

248
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:14,920
directly benefit from this in low and moderate income households from across the country

249
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:23,680
including 48 states the District of Columbia the 2020 FAR program received 50,000 applications

250
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,640
to this date.

251
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:32,520
Historic programs represent the most significant tax incentives in US history to promote clean

252
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:39,360
energy investments in low and moderate income communities, tribal governments and written

253
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,080
affordable housing.

254
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:49,160
These are the things that are at stake ladies and gentlemen as we begin to talk about the

255
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:54,880
elimination of the offices of EJE across all six federal agencies.

256
00:37:54,880 --> 00:38:00,840
We're going to hit on and talk about several of the other programs that are coming out

257
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:09,240
of several other federal agencies but we're basically now just looking at what was done

258
00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:16,760
over the past year at the Department of Energy here in Washington DC through their EJE office.

259
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:27,880
DOE second equity action plan the EJE unveiled and released DOE second equity action plan

260
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:35,480
outlining the programs was made by DOE thus far it has strategies to further advance equity

261
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:45,480
in all Americans the plan also develops an agency wide framework for effectively working

262
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:52,800
with tribal and underserved communities to reimagine a clean energy future through real

263
00:38:52,800 --> 00:39:00,480
investments and technical assistance that ensure community voices and decision making

264
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,760
are integrated in DOE funding research and programs.

265
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:13,520
Now I know firsthand how important this is ladies and gentlemen because we have in fact

266
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:24,960
spoken to a number of mayors we had the opportunity to speak with the honorable Johnny Ford who

267
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:35,680
heads the historically black towns and townships which there are over 106 of those historically

268
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:46,040
black townships smaller towns with populations under 50,000 in population and this was one

269
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:51,680
of the major concerns they wanted to know how they could access this funding well yours

270
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:59,720
truly I shared with them a very very basic phenomena you have to apply for the money

271
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:07,120
but when you don't have grant writers because your city is so small that you don't have

272
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:13,400
that technical assistance then someone has to provide that technical assistance so that

273
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:26,240
is one of the reasons why the plan was developed now in response to President Biden's February

274
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:36,400
16, 2023 executive order 14091 further advancing racial equity and support for underserved

275
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:43,800
communities through the federal government the US Department of Energy has unveiled its

276
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:53,320
2023 equity action plan this plan outlines DOE dust ball and when you click on that plan

277
00:40:53,320 --> 00:41:00,000
ladies and gentlemen it gives you all the data and the facts and this information comes

278
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:08,080
from the Department of Energy here in Washington DC and what their plans and goals are it is

279
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:15,880
a tremendous amount of information here and I don't have time to go through all of that

280
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:23,560
information but we will get upon some of the highlights of the information from the program

281
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:30,680
because we like to provide news that our folks can definitely use so with that being said

282
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,520
ladies and gentlemen we have to make this a little larger so we can look at what was

283
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:43,920
actually being said in the document because as you can see I am wearing spectacles now

284
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:49,520
as we entered the clean energy transition equity and justice must be at the forefront

285
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:59,440
of the Department of Energy here and after DOE and the Department mission for too long

286
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,840
tribal nations communities of color and low-end communities have been buried the blood of

287
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:16,240
pollution the clean energy revolution must lift up communities that have been overburdened

288
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:24,480
by pollution and excluded from the economic prosperity to ensure they are particularly

289
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:32,960
fully participate fully in the benefits of the Department to start investment in clean

290
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:33,960
energy.

291
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:47,600
From the household grappling with issues of energy related pollution and energy insecurity

292
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:55,160
to the university advancing basic research within Department funds and businesses and

293
00:42:55,160 --> 00:43:02,480
community-based organizations that partner with DOE to deliver on its mission the Department

294
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:11,560
has an extraordinary reach to fulfill the mission the DOE must embed equity throughout

295
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:21,120
policy and programs on his first day President Biden signed executive order 13985 advancing

296
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:26,680
racial equity and support for underserved communities through the federal government

297
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:34,000
this order recognized that through equal opportunity is part of the American dream to many Americans

298
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:41,000
the dream remains out of reach in that order the President calls for agency to examine

299
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:49,880
barriers for accessing resources to increase the Department's release of its first ever

300
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:57,160
equity action plan in April of 2022 five strategies have been advanced through that addressing

301
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:04,500
gaps in data collection to facilitate data information for equal equitable decision making

302
00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:17,520
number two increase opportunities for new increments into DOE's procurement and financial

303
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:25,400
assistance increase participation by individuals and institutions that are underserved DOE

304
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:36,160
research and development RDA program supports through federal assistance for expand tribal

305
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:43,080
engagement and stakeholder engagement across DOE number five improve access for equity

306
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:49,400
and DOE weatherization assistance programs much has been achieved since the executive

307
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:58,200
order 13985 was signed however advancing equity is not a short-term project it is committed

308
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:07,200
that the requires substantial focus and partnerships with communities and on February 16 2023 Biden

309
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:17,000
signed this my issue with this ladies and gentlemen is that as we have indicated out

310
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:24,520
of this funding less than two percent of this investment that comes to our communities now

311
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:32,040
we have some serious serious issues that we have to address here and we they have to be

312
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:43,680
addressed now because without the codification of the EJ offices across all six federal agencies

313
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:52,800
and as I won't be redundant because by needed by executive order we know this is what the

314
00:45:52,800 --> 00:46:02,560
Trump administration has indicated that they're going to go after and I think we need to take

315
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:07,480
a look at how much money is on the line and we're going to take a slight pause for the

316
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:12,920
cause here ladies and gentlemen on solar now in the future with its economic impact on

317
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:24,040
black America as we are basically sharing this information and we do we we're blessed

318
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:29,760
to have a guest online with us this morning and I'm going to bring our guests right on

319
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:37,400
into the live airways here on solar now with this economic impact on black America yes

320
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:44,920
good morning call you know I hear what you're saying as far as so was concerned I don't

321
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:51,480
believe in climate change I believe in weather change and I am an African American and I'm

322
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:58,960
not as a solar I was still erected from the 70s up until 2000 erected structure still

323
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:06,600
building and bridges and I supported Donald Trump because of his terrorist and I wish

324
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:14,800
that people would realize that that all don't think alike now you absolutely right the stem

325
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:25,960
programs that are in schools that occupied by predominance of black students are so I'm

326
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:33,560
not saying they subpar but the academic data is very dismal and that's not the question

327
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:44,160
if you since you said that you were in the energy arena no I said I was the structure

328
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:56,080
still arena and I have built structures that were supportive of solar arrays okay well

329
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:03,840
with that experience in your background could I ask the question how many African American

330
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:09,400
lead developers were on those projects that you participated in over the years that you

331
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:18,120
saw or were most of those after American firms involved in that subcontractors well I was

332
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:23,480
in I was especially contracted like I said I erected the structure still that's which

333
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:31,080
supports everything else on as far as the building is concerned and you had African

334
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:35,040
Americans that was in electric they let the electrical contractors you had some that was

335
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:44,560
in rebark ownership of the firms that was that had the car you know I can't structure

336
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:50,800
of their ownership I own 100% of mine okay fine that that's great that's what I want

337
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:58,160
to hear that because that's what we what we've been advocating for this program here at solar

338
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:03,080
now in the future with this economic impact on black America but I want to be very very

339
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:11,120
clear of what this is about we're looking at the Biden-Harris administration capitalizing

340
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:16,360
one trillion dollars in private investment and there's over eight hundred billion dollars

341
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:24,680
in investment and it's over sixty six thousand projects across the country nationwide how

342
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:32,560
and where being there when this investment came into existence it only came in existence

343
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:39,080
because of executive order in which we both can agree that the next president can do away

344
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:47,280
with that because if Congress does not codify funding for this agency EJ it will go away

345
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:54,200
do you feel based on the data that has been put out by the White House that the playing

346
00:49:54,200 --> 00:50:01,520
field has been a level playing field for African American firms to be able to get their fair

347
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:08,240
share these contracts that's my question to you sir well the thing is are you producing

348
00:50:08,240 --> 00:50:19,120
those firms are you producing the firms you you ask me a question about who's producing

349
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:29,200
these firms before I can answer that question okay listen I'm a black contract and you

350
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:35,400
arguing with me sir I'm not arguing with you this is a question I'm trying to make a statement

351
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:42,000
and you were ridiculing me it happens all the time sir you know what I'm a Trump I supported

352
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:53,720
Trump program I asked you got to produce you wanted you wanted to come on my airways and

353
00:50:53,720 --> 00:51:01,080
share with me I've asked you some valid questions and you refused to respond to my question

354
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:07,240
I asked the question do you feel that the playing field was level and he hung up well

355
00:51:07,240 --> 00:51:17,480
that is what I thought sir that no it is not a level playing field and you know it's not

356
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:23,480
a level playing field and I'm not arguing with you I'm basing this on facts that have

357
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:35,200
been released by studies that have done been done from 1977 to 2019 and you've been listening

358
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:41,000
to my show because I have been giving out information that is based on facts not my

359
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:46,080
opinion we can all have our opinion ladies and gentlemen but we can't always have the

360
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:54,760
facts and this is why I did this show as a redo as a do-over because I realized that

361
00:51:54,760 --> 00:52:02,920
we have folks in our communities that are out here that are going around putting out

362
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:10,200
misinformation about the Trump administration the Trump administration let me be clear didn't

363
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:16,280
do a damn thing for African-American firms but told us he wasn't going to do nothing

364
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:21,680
and he didn't do anything and he's going to make a very plain and clear that he's

365
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:27,280
not going to do a damn thing for African-American based firms this time around so with that

366
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:35,840
being said since there has been an agency that has been created by the by the Harris

367
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:45,200
administration which I have been reading the information called the Justice Energy Justice

368
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:54,040
and Equity offices through the EPA office there is an initiative called the Greenhouse

369
00:52:54,040 --> 00:53:01,200
Gas Initiative which twenty seven billion dollars came out of that initiative for EV

370
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:08,480
charging infrastructure for school buses electric school buses and for a program pilot program

371
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:13,960
which was started here in Washington DC called the solar for all program which stands to

372
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:21,000
benefit nine hundred thousand low and modern income residents across this country the question

373
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:34,480
is the sixty applicants which were awarded back on April 22nd of 2024 on Earth Day have

374
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:42,280
been announced by EPA they didn't sign contracts till the first week of December of 2024 this

375
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:50,600
funding has not gotten out the door there has been collaborations built with the African-American

376
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:58,720
firms and nonprofit organizations not in enough numbers at the table to be able to even talk

377
00:53:58,720 --> 00:54:07,040
about the regress of how do we get out there share of this opportunity now I'm not blaming

378
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:16,360
anyone but us because of this type of mentality this gentleman comes on my show and says I'm

379
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:24,040
arguing with him when I'm giving him I asked him a question what did the Trump administration

380
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:31,040
do for you what do you feel has been done and because that's what I wanted to ask what

381
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:37,960
do you think will be done in the future and I was I know the answer to the question it's

382
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:48,880
called slim and none slim didn't show up to work and none took a six months sabbatical

383
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:55,760
it's not going to happen ladies and gentlemen and unless we rally around who we can work

384
00:54:55,760 --> 00:55:03,040
with I am a registered independent let me be very very clear I'm not a Democrat not

385
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:10,640
a Republican so I'm not out here spurtin how great that are the Democratic Party because

386
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:17,880
I have some very very serious problems with how the Democratic administration under the

387
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:25,120
Biden has administration has responded to requests from yours truly when we were just

388
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:31,160
simply trying to get guests to come on this platform to talk about these programs that

389
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:38,240
they have created and what are the rollout dates who will win with this money be going

390
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:44,760
out to these recipients who are the grantees who are receiving this funding funding we're

391
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:51,280
talking about seven billion dollars through the so far program here in the state of Maryland

392
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,800
we have the Maryland Clean Energy Center if you go to their website you will not find

393
00:55:55,800 --> 00:56:02,400
any information on when you actually apply so with that being said ladies and gentlemen

394
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:08,200
