Grounded Podcast: Oregon Energy Timeline Conversations: Mr. Sun

On this special Grounded series called Oregon Energy Timeline Conversations, we meet with Mr. Sun- John Patterson. John has earned the name "Mr. Sun" as a solar pioneer whose company installed more than 3,000 solar systems, and who helped get legislation passed to make alternative energy more affordable.

The ODOE team has been working on an Oregon energy history timeline project illustrating Oregon’s unique energy history. During this project, ODOE has collected dozens of photographs, video clips, and interviews. Like today’s conversation with John Patterson, future interviews will be shared through Grounded as the timeline project develops- stay tuned!
