About this Episode
I'm talking with Norm Yanke, a retired electrician who used to install solar panels for remote communities. He opposes the city of Nelson's plan to expand solar panel use and makes a surprisingly strong case against solar. Norm is very smart and knowledgeable but is frustrated because no one wants to hear what he has to say.
