- DR is participating in at least four NY Climate Week events Sept. 22-24, including a 9am data centers panel alongside Bill McKibben, Abre' Conner of NAACP, and LaTricea Adams of Young, Gifted and Green, moderated by SELC Executive Director DJ Gerken.
- DR will interview Matt Traldi of Greenlight America at 3:50pm on Sept. 22 at Canary Media's "Rural America & The Clean Energy Transition" event running 12pm-7pm.
- DR will lead a discussion with Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and Sunrun CEO Mary Powell during Climate Mayors' annual leadership forum on Sept. 23 from 9am to 1pm.
- DR will appear alongside NYT journalist Maxine Joselow at 12:45pm on Sept. 24 at an Institute for Policy Integrity event titled "Climate, Energy, and the Political Divide."
- After Climate Week, DR is flying to Copenhagen for a week-long tour of Denmark's industrial symbiosis infrastructure projects — facilities designed so one sector's energy, water, and material waste becomes another's input.
- Leah Stokes will discuss her new book "The Carbon Wave" — about the multi-year fight for the Inflation Reduction Act, long enough that Stokes had twins during the process — with DR at Seattle's Town Hall on Sept. 14 at 7:30pm.
Why it matters: Volts operates without ads, sponsors, or institutional backing — its host's sole income comes from paid subscribers paying what DR describes as 'the price of a coffee per month,' making the Sept. 12 birthday subscription drive directly material to the outlet's survival. The Denmark tour will showcase industrial symbiosis, an approach where one sector's waste becomes another's resource.
