It’s a Green Friday this week on the podcast!  First, Sen. Bernie Sanders has unveiled his Green New Deal to fight climate change and it’s coming in at a whopping $16.3 trillion.  It declares climate change a national emergency, transforms the country’s energy system to rely on renewable energy for electricity and transportation by 2030 and complete decarbonization by 2050. Miranda Green, energy and environment reporter at The Hill, joins us for what’s in the plan

Next, cannabis restaurants are coming to California and if things go well, this could be a model you start seeing in other states.  The soon-to-open Lowell Farms Cannabis Cafe will be pairing a farm-to-table meal with “flower service” so you can pair your meal with the perfect strain.  Even though the state has legalized recreational marijuana, running a cannabis restaurant is nothing like running a typical restaurant and there are a lot more regulations to follow.  Maura Judkis, reporter for the Washington Post, joins us for some of the creative ways this will all work.
