    Episode 3: 50 Years of Cooperation - A Conversation with Dave Strenski
    May 18 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with longtime Ypsi Food Co-op member, solar advocate and community enabler Dave Strenski. From waving at neighbors, to envisioning solar panels on 1,000 roofs, Dave shares his bold, grassroots vision for an equitable solar future—one that includes low-income households, underutilized land, and a thriving co-op at its center.

    We explore the pioneering solar arrays atop the Ypsi Food Co-op, and Dave’s dream of transforming vacant land into solar-powered EV charging stations. He breaks down the innovation behind “Solar for All,” a plan to install panels across neighborhoods while creating jobs and delivering long-term savings to families. Dave reminds us: solar isn’t just about energy—it’s about empowerment.

    Thanks for joining us for this special 50th anniversary season—let’s keep the momentum going!
