The Power Hour | A Local Perspective on the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project with Joanne Frederick

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts.  Jack is joined this week by Joanne Frederick, the President of the Board of Directors  for Stop MPRP, Inc.   This one is complex, folks and has Jack way out of his comfort zone.  MRPR is an electricity transmission line project that would carry power produced in Pennsylvania and distribute it in Virginia and go through Central Maryland in the process.  While we want to see energy development, we also believe strongly that local opinion matters.  You will want to check this one out because while this line might not be coming through your neighborhood, as Joanna points out, the next one might be.  There are certainly a lot of pros and cons to consider, and Joanne certainly has an interesting and worth hearing perspective. Then check out Jack’s book, Nuclear Revolution  and our nuclear energy documentary Powering America. Join the conversation at  [email protected]!  Thank you for listening and please don’t forget to subscribe and help us to spread the word.
