“Our People Deserve Better”: A Mayor’s Fight for Clean Energy in Rural America
Host: W. Mondale Robinson

Info: Mondale Robinson didn’t return to Enfield, North Carolina to manage decline. He came back to
change it. Since his election in 2022, he’s been assembling the pieces of a full community
energy transformation, including solar, geothermal, weatherization, and grid modernization, in one of the poorest towns in the state. This conversation breaks down how he’s doing it, what’s working, and what the rest of the country can learn from a small town betting everything on a clean energy future.
