The Year-in-Review crew is back to discuss all things energy in 2022. Our panel answers questions about their top energy stories, ideas, projects, and podcast episodes of the year! Topics this year include: the Inflation Reduction Act, energy reliability, nuclear fusion, the Inflation Reduction Act, Miss Wisconsin (and now, Miss America!) Grace Stanke and her clean energy platform, electric vehicles, storage as the new solar, and the Inflation Reduction Act. (Notice a pattern?)

Listen to Episode 31 of the Electric Wire podcast wherever you get your podcasts, or at our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/Jmt4k7F_Gk8

Our panel includes:

• Carrie Templeton, Chief of Staff to PSCW Chairperson Rebecca Valcq

• Chris Hubbuch, energy reporter for the Wisconsin State Journal

• Matthew Spencer, Director of Government Affairs, Madison Gas and Electric

• Jennifer Shilling, Government Relations Manager, Dairyland Power Cooperative

Our panel answers the question of what they’d do with “All the Power” in the industry with answers ranging from more news coverage of energy issues (guess!); encouraging Wisconsin’s use of federal funds for clean energy projects; and, highlighting the positive work of the electric industry.
