As demand for electricity surges—from AI and data centers to EVs and new manufacturing—lawmakers at the local and state level are weighing how to keep the lights on without driving energy costs out of reach.
In this episode of The Blue Dot Podcast, hosts Natalie MacDonald and Brian Koehl sit down with energy expert Jenny Bulach, a power plant industry veteran with 25 years of experience, to unpack how energy policy, regulation, and legislation directly impact reliability, land use, and your electric bill.
Jenny also breaks down zoning fights over solar and wind, grid reliability mandates, and what transparency communities should demand before approving large energy projects.
Whether you're curious about the legislation moving through the Kentucky General Assembly or just wondering why energy costs are on the rise, this episode provides a high-level masterclass in the systems that power our lives.
