Chicago’s “Clean and Affordable Buildings Ordinance” is Neither Clean Nor Affordable.

This is an article written by John (Jack) McGeever on LinkedIn, and as I read the article, I had to get a podcast with my good friend Larry Glover, CEO of Glover Group, and Jack. Larry and I have had many discussions about the disproportionally impacted communities and energy policies. Larry is a true industry leader, and I value his opinions.

Jack's article points out that the building and permitting laws forcing the removal of natural gas do not make sense environmentally, or economically until there is more nuclear.

Sit back and enjoy this discussion, and I enjoyed learning from both men. - Thanks, Larry and Jack, for stopping by the podcast. - Stu
