Natural gas has always been a focus on Alternative Power Plays.
From its use in CHP facilities and much more, it is the dominant
fuel source for electric power across much of the country. On this
episode, the focus has shifted to discuss another strong influence
on the future of natural gas – the increasing pressure on
utilities to shift away from natural gas to conservation,
electrification, and cleaner fuels, out of concern for the climate.
Policy initiatives could alter the availability and/or cost of
natural gas for everyone, yet unfortunately, there is no way to
exactly know when and how that might occur because there is a
patchwork of approaches under consideration.
Our guests for this episode, Jay Balasbas, president of JMB
Strategies, and Josh Figueroa, senior associate at the Brattle
Group, will give us an overview of the pressures facing the natural
gas industry and how they might play out in the form of changes in
gas service and energy end-use requirements, as well as what some
of the alternatives may be and some examples from actual proposals
on regulatory treatment of gas infrastructure.
