Donnel Baird is on a mission to decarbonize America's cities. His company, BlocPower, rehabilitates energy-inefficient buildings in lower-income communities to run entirely on electricity. For Baird, addressing inequality lies at the heart of fighting the climate crisis. BlocPower is training the next generation of green energy experts from the very community it serves in New York. For Baird, the Biden admin's $1.9T infrastructure bill offers a sure-fire solution to institutionalize the kind of efforts BlocPower has been addressing since its inception.
