A Bit of Personal News

Born in Utah, I’ve lived about 46 years in the state, with three spent living abroad and seven living near the East and West Coasts at different times. This week, Gail and I sold our home in Salt Lake City and signed a contract to purchase one in Jacksonville, Florida.

Underlying this significant shift is a desire to purchase an electric pickup truck to tow a trailer powered by solar panels without another generator or propane for cooking or heating. The conventional wisdom is that this can’t be done. We hope to prove that with the electric truck, it becomes possible.

For us, this is a part of our mission to help reverse climate change. As such, we must reduce our carbon footprint as much as reasonably possible and serve as a recognized example for others.

We are launching another Substack newsletter to talk about our solar electric trailer journey. Rather creatively, we’ve called it “Our Solar Electric Trailer Journey.” We’ll be writing about the process of getting the rig and then using it. If this interests you, please sign up free here. The first post will be Saturday, so sign up today, so you don’t miss it.

Our Solar Electric Trailer Journey

Our move and travel will not impact Superpowers for Good, except to make it better. By traveling, I hope to gather more interesting content, both visually and substantively. In any case, the plan is to keep writing and podcasting about reversing climate change, improving global public health and ending extreme poverty.

Devin, I am appreciative of you reaching out to me when I was starting a new business. And, I have enjoyed reading your posts. This posts about you and Gail moving to Florida has taken me by surprise but I am very happy for you and wish you all the best. I have solar energy in my home so I have signed up to receive the Solar Electric Trailer Journey. Stay well and thanks for ALL that you do... Namaste and Peace to you.

Devin congratulation on the move, but the most powerful and striking thing you are doing is leading by example. One of the mottos the Army drove into us was to lead by example and your podcast features people that are walking the talk and now as you embark on a move to sunny Florida you are walking the talk about the number one issue of our time! Demonstrating to people that if they are intentional about their actions they can be the change they want to see one action at a time.
