Where does our energy come from, and how does it get there? This week, we explore generated power. Almost everything we do requires some form of energy - from filling up your gas tank, tuning in to your favorite podcast, or cooking your favorite meal. San Diego Community Power's Nelson Lomeli teaches us about environmental racism, engaging in the democratic process, and how to demand cleaner, greener energy.
