This shift raises important questions about the long-term implications for Kansas ratepayers.

Chris Nelder and I discuss load growth, utility incentives, regulatory responses, and how it's all affecting the energy transition in this episode of The Energy Transition Show. I try to explain why utilities are eager to add gas in response, and what cleaner, lower risk alternatives they can pursue instead. Tune in and if haven't already, subscribe to Chris's great podcast. https://lnkd.in/gJWSMkHh
