America’s Power Michelle Bloodworth talks about the value of coal-based electricity

Michelle Bloodworth, president and CEO of America’s Power, joined co-hosts Kate Muggerud and Geoff Simon on this week’s podcast titled “Mined: Lignite Energy in America.”

Michelle talks about the blackouts in California and the need for baseload generation and what her organization is doing to keep coal-based electricity in the national energy mix. With the presidential election as a background, her insights are valuable as utilities and mining companies work with policymakers to ensure reliable electricity.  

Kate and Geoff work as a team to conduct the interviews with leaders in the energy industry on a variety of topics. The goal of these podcasts is to connect with others who have the same interest and wish to become more knowledgeable about energy and emerging technologies. 

Mined: Lignite Energy in America is sponsored and produced by the Lignite Energy Council, a trade association representing the power plants, mines and the Great Plains Synfuels Plant in North Dakota along with more than 300 companies that provide goods and services to the lignite industry.
