Energy-as-a-Service: Rethinking Energy Equity
In this episode of Electric Equity, Brian speaks with Nick Stolberg to explore the intersection of energy access, rural livelihoods, and sustainable agriculture. From the surprising role of a “chicken farmer” to deeper questions about energy poverty, resilience, and community development, this conversation connects everyday work with global challenges. Together, they reflect on how local food systems, small-scale farming, and decentralized energy solutions can strengthen communities both in the United States and in places like Haiti.
This episode will resonate with listeners interested in renewable energy, off-grid systems, regenerative agriculture, humanitarian engineering, and a different business model for renewable energy businesses in energy poor countries. Brian and Nick discuss practical and philosophical dimensions of building a more equitable energy future—one that values human dignity, local knowledge, and appropriate technology. Whether you're a farmer, engineer, nonprofit leader, or simply curious about sustainable living and energy justice, this conversation offers thoughtful insights grounded in real-world experience.
Power to the Chicken People.
