States have shifted to the forefront of climate leadership here in the US. And one of the tools that many of these States are employing to make it easier and less risky for individuals and companies to invest behind energy savings has been the Green Bank, a financial institution designed to overcome some of the barriers to financing climate action.
Massachusetts set up their Green Bank in a novel way, though. They embedded the institution inside of MassHousing and gave it the dual mandate to address not only climate change, but the challenge of affordable housing as well.
So, how are they doing? Paul sits with Maggie Super Church of the Massachusetts Community Climate Bank to understand more about how the entity is delivering on its promise to save energy and costs for Massachusetts homeowners.
NOTE: Since this episode was recorded, the Massachusetts Community Climate Bank has officially released their MA Energy Savings Finder. If you're interested in how you can take advantage of these programs, this tool is a great one-stop resource for finding all clean energy incentives, rebates and tax credits for your home.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
