In this powerful episode, Mike sits down with Lori Rice, a true local hero and founder of the Coalition to Protect Franklin County. As the driving force behind the Stop Transource movement, Lori led a grassroots resistance to halt the construction of a proposed 29-mile high-voltage transmission line that threatened some of the county’s most fertile and productive farmland.
📍 What began as a daunting battle against a massive energy corporation became a story of community, courage, and conviction. Discover how one woman—and a determined group of citizens—stood up to protect their land, their rights, and their way of life.
🎧 Tune in for an inspiring, real-life “David vs. Goliath” tale that proves the power of local action in the face of industrial overreach.
