Each season, low-income families across the nation have to make impossible choices between home heating and other basic needs. When families are forced to choose between home heating and health care or adequate nutrition, families are living in fuel poverty.

A thought leader on issues of energy and equity, Jason has been advancing the solution of using solar energy to address low-income fuel poverty in cold climates. Jason is a former high school teacher, who also taught English in Japan for three years. He earned a masters in Environmental Studies Policy and Planning from Bemidji State University. He currently lives in a solar-powered home in northern Minnesota with his wife and a small pack of dogs.

As a former recipient of energy assistance (LEAP), this talk really opened my eyes. I really never thought about LEAP as a subsidy for the coal, oil, and gas industries. Communities everywhere should demand energy independence. Solar energy will play a vital role in creating a better future. Jason Edens, you must visit OM Village in Madison and share this information in person.
