The Massachusetts utility regulator trying to orchestrate a shift away from gas
Podcast:Volts Published On: Fri Feb 21 2025 Description: In this episode, I'm joined by James Van Nostrand. He is the top utility regulator in Massachusetts, the first state to explicitly tell gas utilities to plan their own phase-out. We explore this complex transition, including the fate of existing gas infrastructure, the potential of networked geothermal as an alternative, and protections for both workers and ratepayers.
