California's energy news, unfiltered.

What makes PowerON different
Most energy content falls into one of two camps: industry PR or activist alarm. PowerON News does neither.
We're community-centered and consumer-focused, covering a broad spectrum of stories. Episodes are produced in a dynamic, broadcast-news format: visual, fast-paced, and designed for viewers who don't have time for long lectures but do want to actually understand what's happening in energy right here, right now.
Format
Broadcast news-style episodes, typically 10–30 minutes. Available on YouTube.
