First hour: Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren revives the dream of La Marketa
Second hour: The year in solar, and debating Elon Musk's new solar panels
Is La Marketa going to happen? Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren recently announced the release of a request for proposals for the sale and development of land that would “transform a section of the 800 block of N. Clinton Avenue into a Latin American village plaza.” That dream has been discussed for nearly 30 years in Rochester. Our guests will talk about their vision and the possible impact. In studio:
Mayor Lovely Warren
Jackie Ortiz, member of Rochester City Council
Eugenio Marlin, vice president of Ibero American Development Corp.
In our second hour: Elon Musk says Tesla’s new solar roof production will cost less to manufacture and install than basic shingles. The electricity is “just a bonus,” Musk adds. It’s edgy! It looks great! Is it the future? And further, is this what solar needs to take the next leap, or is it missing the larger point? Our guests will debate the Musk announcement, and review the year in solar and what lies ahead. In studio:
Suzanne Hunt, Hunt Green LLC and Hunt Country Vineyards
Susan Spencer, president and founder of ROCSPOT
