We are facing crises globally and in the United States that are cultural and political and will impact our ability to raise the next generations. Energy is at the center of the issues and must be addressed for energy security and minimizing environmental impact. That being said, our public school and college systems are broken, and kids are being indoctrinated.

Debra Wold, Chairman, Grenlily Holdings, and on her LinkedIn profile: "Trash-to-Treasure to low-cost fuels." Debra has been on the podcast several times, and I have genuinely enjoyed becoming friends over the last few years. Her vision for green, renewable energy is about being sustainable from day one with no subsidies!

In this podcast, we also discuss some energy, cultural issues, and solutions.

• Key shortages of all forms of energy workers
• Public School's deterioration of quality and social problems.
• Jobs vs Collage
• Vocational training and apprenticeship
• Content creation for tests, curriculum and home school, Union, and other outreach.

Debra, Thank you for your time, leadership, and desire to make a difference in our next generation! - Stu
