DEPLOY/US Vice President Alex Bozmoski discusses the origins and evolution of the EcoRight movement over the years.

DEPLOY/US VP Alex Bozmoski on the growth of the EcoRight since joining at its inception.

Alex Bozmoski reflects on host Chelsea Henderson's weekly "Week En Review" Friday email update that is about to turn 10 years old this fall.

If you’re a member of the EcoRight, today’s guest needs no introduction. Alex Bozmoski is the heart of the EcoRight; he’s the fertilizer; he’s the one ensuring its growth. But in case you're new to Alex, he is a 20-year veteran of energy and climate policy, and, as alluded to, has spent more than 13 years focusing on building the Ecoright field. Prior to DEPLOY/US, he co-founded republicEn.org, a community of EcoRight libertarians and conservatives advancing climate action rooted in free enterprise. He previously developed clean-energy projects in East Africa, consulted for think tanks, authored peer-reviewed articles, worked on several GOP campaigns, and designed and facilitated e-learning courses on environmental economics and policy for World Bank technical assistance programs. He’s also a great friend to everyone on the team!

Utah State Representative Dr. Raymond Ward (R-UT-19) on not being able to buy "balcony solar" equipment in the U.S.

Utah House of Representatives Rep. Raymond Ward explains his state house bill regarding "balcony solar" on our 200th episode of the "EcoRight Speaks."

Welcome to the 200th episode of the "EcoRight Speaks" podcast! On this episode, we have a conversation with Utah State Rep. Raymond Ward (R-UT-19), a trained physician who has been serving in the Utah House of Representatives since 2015. Through his travels to Germany, Dr. Ward learned about an innovative way they are using solar that is cheaper, portable, and also reliable. However, the same product in the U.S. faces barriers to market entry, including in his home state with even tighter restrictions preventing the adoption of so-called “balcony solar.” Dr. Ward has been working to change that by introducing a bill to amend state law, which would allow balcony solar. He is also looking at how national policies can change to allow access to this innovative technology.Join us for a great conversation with Dr. Raymond Ward as well as a celebration with a few friends dropping by our 200th episode!
