Peter Barca on Wisconsin's Changing Energy Mix, Voter Preferences, Natural Gas and Renewable Energy
Madison, WI - What do Wisconsin voters want from the state’s changing energy mix? Former Wisconsin congressman and state legislative leader Peter Barca, who also served as Wisconsin’s Department of Revenue Secretary, joins The Electric Wire podcast to discuss his work with Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future.
We explore polling on voters’ energy priorities, the transition away from coal, and why voters see natural gas and renewable energy working together. The conversation considers what these preferences mean for affordability, reliability, and emissions.
