Maryland’s natural gas utilities are spending billions in building out and strengthening distribution networks at a time when the state has set ambitious goals to reduce fossil fuel use. When gas consumption falls, ratepayers and maybe taxpayers remain on the hook for these capital investments. Sunil Dasgupta talks with Maryland People’s Counsel, David Lapp, about a petition his office made to the state Public Service Commission asking gas policy be rationalized with climate action goals: https://t.ly/eR4bS. Episode includes student book review #3 of MCPS LGBTQ+ books list: Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World by Ashley Herring Blake: https://a.co/d/2aHIlSk. Music from Baltimore clarinetist and composer Seth Kibel’s new album, Clown with a Stick: https://t.ly/uR9hp.
