The public doesn't often hear the real story about climate change. It's happening now.

Fossil fuel companies with money on the line have lied about it, and it doesn't have to be this way.

We have the tools to address this crisis. Instead, the biggest climate stories blame all of us,

or cast solutions as impossible. These narratives leave people

feeling hopeless and confused about climate change and what we actually can do about it. But that is

shifting. Polls show a sharp rise in people who think climate change is a top issue. And these people

understand the scale of political change that we need to match

this problem. But what does that mean for you? I'm Dr. Leah Stokes. And I'm Dr. Catherine

This is a show for all the people out there who know climate change is a problem, but are still trying to figure out how we can tackle it.

We'll look at the current climate zeitgeist.

All profound change has come out of moments of darkness.

We'll hear about the technology and policy solutions that already exist today.

So we found we could probably keep customer electricity bills about the same and reach 90% zero carbon electricity by 2030.

If history is any indication, technology surprises us all the time.

We'll tell stories about the history of denial and delay.

So what you're saying is that this monopoly utility helped elect its own watchdog, its own regulator,

and then that regulator started to do exactly what the utility wanted, which was mostly to kill Arizona's solar industry.

That is exactly what happened.

I mean, for Star Wars fans, APS became the Darth Vader of electric utilities in America.

And we'll look at why justice and fairness are so central to this fight.
