Even with solar panels on your roof, it’s possible that your home is still being powered by fossil fuels. Climate innovator and Python developer Anna Schneider is trying to change that. At her company WattTime, consumers can source the cleanest energy available on the grid.

In this episode of Talk Python To Me, I talk to Anna about how Python powers WattTime, some popular open-source projects focused on renewable energy, and a few other Python based renewable energy startups.
