We write about photo voltaic microgrids on a regular basis, however we seldom function particular initiatives and the way they’re serving to actual, stay people. The video under does an ideal job of highlighting a small venture in New Orleans, Louisiana.

“What do solar panels and battery-powered microgrids have to do with protecting the unique culture of New Orleans? Meet the local organization turning restaurants into disaster recovery centers using community solar microgrids — and charting a way forward for a just energy transition in the American South,” On the Brink writes.

“Feed the Second Line’s Get Lit Stay Lit program is protecting the soul and fabric of the city with community solar microgrids,” Nexus Media provides.

In regards to the broader collection, On the Brink writes, “‘Facing Down the Fossils’ is a series about the people who are dealing with generational consequences of the pollution and economic damage caused by the fossil fuel industry and who now face the prospect of even more fossil fuel projects in the United States. In response, these communities are not only standing up to wrongdoing but also leading the effort to advance clean energy production. The project takes viewers to these communities to hear from the people who have dedicated themselves to fighting injustice in opposition to governments and multinational organizations. In the process, the episodes reveal what has been lost, what can be saved, and what might be gained in these vibrant neighborhoods, communities, and ecosystems. ”
