EcoRadio KC
EcoRadio KC is a magazine show, including live segments, prerecorded stories, and interviews. The weekly explores our interdependence with the rest of the world, showing the connections between the ways we choose to live and the health of the whole community of life.
For our show for March 1st, host Jon Hokenson speaks with Brian Schath of CleanAirNow. Brian wants listeners to know of their campaign to ask Evergy to retire the Lawrence Coal Plant early. Right now, Evergy is meeting to develop its Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) without providing an option for the public to comment. The IRP will likely play a central role in when, how, and how much Evergy transitions to renewable energy like wind and solar. CleanAirNow believes that Evergy’s customers should be a part of the development of these plans because the plans impact their lives and the lives of future generations. Brian Schath will explain how to submit public comment for delivery to Evergy on March 9.

For the remainder of our hour, Jon Hokenson will speak with Tom Jacobs, Environmental Program Director and Karen Clawson, Principal Planner/Air Quality Program Manager of the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC). MARC has been engaged in capturing public comment to present their Regional Climate Action Plan. The Climate Action Plan for the area offers a customized, regional response to climate change, and serves as a guideline to implement the necessary steps to draw down greenhouse gases.
It was completed in late 2020. Please tune in to hear MARC’s evaluation of where we go from here.
