Project Sustainability

Each month, the show welcomes a new guest who will unpack a specific topic, spanning multiple episodes. Host Peggy Smedley will dive into her guest’s desire to provide alternatives that will empower each of us on what it means to have a healthy home. Simply all the innovations from energy, air, water, lighting, security, appliances, and more that impact our homes.

With a focus on technology—and how it works in the home—listeners will gain a deeper understanding of what’s coming next and what’s already possible today. Determined to give a glimpse into the future, Smedley ends every series with the same question: How can we do even more simply by managing our energy consumption to help make the world healthier, safer, and greener today and for future generations?

All about South Carolina NEVI

Jan 11, 2023

Peggy Smedley and Rob Bedenbaugh, director of engineering support, South Carolina Dept. of Transportation, talk about the South Carolina NEVI (National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) plan and EV (electric vehicle) infrastructure. He says the NEVI formula program is a federal source of money that is comprised of $5 billion nationally that is going to be doled out to the various state DOTs (departments of transportation) around the country to support placement of EV charging on the national network.

They also discuss:

  • The hurdles of placing these in rural areas such as providing electricity in a fair and equitable manner.
  • How these alternatives can reach disadvantaged communities.
  • The importance of public and private partnerships.
