On this week’s Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, brings you highlights from the Kentuckians for Energy Democracy 2023 Legislative Review held back on April 17th. That evening, Kentuckians for Energy Democracy shared the results of this year's legislative session - the good, the bad, and the ugly - and what we can do NOW to move towards a democratic, equitable energy system for all Kentuckians!

The panel included Lane Boldman (Executive Director of the Kentucky Conservation Committee); Julie Donna (Energy & Climate Justice Organizer with KFTC - Kentuckians For The Commonwealth); and Chris Woolery (Residential Energy Coordinator for the Mountain Association). During the conversation, they discuss what bills were passed in Kentucky's 2023 General Assembly that affect our environment and energy systems and which policies didn't get any traction?

Kentuckians for Energy Democracy (K4ED) is a network of organizations working to ensure equitable and resilient utility systems that protect our health, environment and climate. Currently, that work is centered around a campaign to increase transparency, participation and equity in the Public Service Commission by educating and engaging Kentuckians to empower our commissioners to implement policy changes at the PSC to institutionalize our goals.
