Saving the Day in Disaster — Solar Microgrid in New Orleans, Louisiana – CleanTechnica
Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News!
We write about solar microgrids all the time, but we seldom feature specific projects and how they are helping real, live humans. The video below does a great job of highlighting a small project in New Orleans, Louisiana.
“What do solar panels and battery-powered microgrids have to do with protecting the unique culture of New Orleans? Meet the local organization turning restaurants into disaster recovery centers using community solar microgrids — and charting a way forward for a just energy transition in the American South,” On the Brink writes.
“Feed the Second Line’s Get Lit Stay Lit program is protecting the soul and fabric of the city with community solar microgrids,” Nexus Media adds.
About the broader series, On the Brink writes, “‘Facing Down the Fossils’ is a series about the people who are dealing with generational consequences of the pollution and economic damage caused by the fossil fuel industry and who now face the prospect of even more fossil fuel projects in the United States. In response, these communities are not only standing up to wrongdoing but also leading the effort to advance clean energy production. The project takes viewers to these communities to hear from the people who have dedicated themselves to fighting injustice in opposition to governments and multinational organizations. In the process, the episodes reveal what has been lost, what can be saved, and what might be gained in these vibrant neighborhoods, communities, and ecosystems. ”
Well, nothing replaces watching the video, so just go do that.

LSU, Six Other Louisiana Schools Using Juul Settlement Money on Anti-Vaping NIL Deals
Few states take college athletics more seriously than Louisiana—and the Pelican State is reportedly proving that with a crusade designed to reduce teen vaping.
Per a Wednesday morning report from Piper Hutchinson of the Louisiana Illuminator citing public records, Louisiana’s government is using money from a settlement with Juul to do a series of anti-vaping NIL deals with college athletes in the state.
“According to public records, the state so far has agreed to spend $281,000 on NIL deals with athletes, with $225,000 going to LSU athletes over three years,” Hutchinson wrote.
In addition to the Tigers, Louisiana is said to be engaging athletes at Grambling, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, McNeese State, Northwestern State, and Southeastern Louisiana.
The $10 million settlement “can be used for research, education, and vaping cessation programs, among other things,” per Hutchinson.
Given the sheer visibility of college sports and college athletes in Louisiana, the state government will have a powerful ally.
