About this episode
The move from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources can have a big impact on the communities that once depended on those industries. Our guest for this episode is Brian Anderson, director of the National Energy Technology Laboratory. He was recently tasked with leading the Biden administration's Interagency Working Group on Coal and Power Plant Communities and Economic Revitalization. In this role, he aims to identify and ameliorate the economic and social problems encountered by communities reliant on fossil fuel extraction, as those fuels account for a smaller proportion of energy production. Energy Evolution co-hosts Dan Testa, Allison Good and Taylor Kuykendall are veteran journalists with broad expertise covering the utility, oil and gas and mining sectors.
