(Part 2) In this edition of The Heartland Daily Podcast, Ryan Yonk, Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Economics and Finance at Utah State University and Executive Director of Strata Policy joins Managing Editor of Environment & Climate News, H. Sterling Burnett. Yonk joins Burnett to discuss the environmental impacts, reliability, benefits, and costs of the various renewable energy sources.

Earlier this month, Representatives Jared Polis (D Colorado), Ben Ray Luján (D New Mexico), and Ann Kuster (D New Hampshire) introduced the National Renewable Electricity Act of 2013 (RES Act) into the US House of Representatives. If the law is passed, it will raise electricity prices for Americans for questionable environmental gains.
