I'm Tom Morello and you're listening to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.

Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.

My name is Steve Scrovan, along with my co-host David Feldman.

Hello, David.

Hello, Steve.

Good to hear you.

And just always good to hear from the man of the hour Ralph Nader.

Hello, Ralph.

Hello, everybody.

We talked a lot of authors on this program.

We do a great job of exposing a problem,

but we also like to highlight some of the people who take action in their own communities to fix those problems.

When Hurricane Ida hit the Gulf Coast this summer, thousands of people in New Orleans lost power.

That's when community organizers Devin DeWolf took action.

He turned his home into a solar power charging hub for his neighbors.

Now he wants to turn neighborhood restaurants into a microgrid, a storm proof system of solar panels and batteries

that could act as hubs during outages.

And we will look forward to hearing about the empowering potential in combining microgrids with restaurants

and how grassroots organizing and mutual aid can step up when institutions leave people high and dry.

Or in that case, low and wet.

Then we'll welcome Nathan Proctor from US Perg, the US Public Insurance Research Group.

He's worked tirelessly for years on their right to repair campaign.
