The Power of the Public Service Commission

Winning in Georgia: Lessons for Democrats

The Data Center Dilemma

Addressing Water Concerns and Political

Trump's Energy Policies and Final Thoughts

Closing Thoughts and Call to Action

In this episode, Knowa talks with Peter Hubbard, Commissioner on the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC), about what he's accomplished, and how Democrats can win the midterm elections by leading with solutions and "receipts" on the issues voters feel every month.

We get into the real mechanics: how the five-member PSC sets your electricity and gas rates, why bills rose six times before Hubbard arrived, and how clean energy is a long-term cost play. Then the big one — data centers and the water-supply risk to Georgia communities. Plus the third Democratic seat with Sheila Edwards, the Keisha Lance Bottoms / Burt Jones / Rick Jackson governor's race, and the Trump administration's impact on your energy bills.
