The U.S. is making plans for a massive shift from fossil fuels to clean energy. But with those plans come worries that the changes won t be equitable, that wealthy people will get their electric cars and energy efficient technology while the poor will get left behind. In rural North Carolina, NPR s Dan Charles visited one man who s trying to keep that from happening, carrying on a legacy of the New Deal.
DAN CHARLES, BYLINE: Alvin Morrison was a young man in the 1930s, just married, farming in central North Carolina.
