Energy Insights with Kurt Miller: Challenges, Advocacy, and the Future of Public Power


Listen Later

Kurt Miller is the executive director of Northwest Public Power Association and an all around great guy. On this episode, Kurt and I talk about his long history in the energy industry, issues facing the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, legislative advocacy, and much, much more.

I also make a book recommendation in this episode. Keep reading for more on that.

Book recommendation:  Published on the 80th anniversary of the Grand Coulee Dam, The Grand Promise, by Rebekah Anderson, is a work of literary fiction about the real communities that were impacted by the dam's construction on the Columbia River in the 1930's during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency. Called "a gripping debut" by best-selling author Jonathan Evison and "an ambitious saga" by Washington State Book Award winner Peter Mountford, The Grand Promise was the #1 fiction bestseller at Small Press Distribution in its release month.
