Bette discusses how banking and insurance companies are using ESGs to discriminate against the fossil fuel industry. She also talks about the origins of ESGs and how they can lead to higher energy prices.

Bette is a former North Dakota legislator and currently works for a North Dakota think tank that provides information to policymakers.

Kate and Geoff conduct interviews with leaders in North Dakota’s 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 250 companies that provide goods and services to the lignite industry.
