In this episode of Trash Talk, Mike Fenton sits down with Clint Cox of Liberty Utilities (Peach State Natural Gas) to explore the real‑world process of delivering renewable natural gas (RNG) from a landfill into a local distribution system in Columbus, Georgia.  

The conversation examines the complexities of integrating landfill‑sourced RNG into a regulated utility network—from educating regulators on gas quality standards and restructuring tariffs to investing in interconnection infrastructure and overcoming project setbacks. Clint shares how locally sourced RNG offers benefits beyond environmental impact, including enhanced system resilience, downward pressure on rates, and long‑term value for customers and the surrounding community.  

Rich with practical insights and lessons learned, this episode provides a candid look at how collaboration and persistence can transform waste into reliable, cost‑effective energy.
