Join the Citizens Utility Board of Wisconsin for a virtual discussion about the costs of energy in Wisconsin, the session will highlight trends and what Wisconsin ratepayers and consumers should be aware of as we continue to move through summer and into the fall/winter of 2022. We will hear from a panel of experts that will also provide real-world examples of actions (i.e. decarbonization, energy efficiency actions, and community level energy districts) that residents can take to address their energy burden at the community level and/or within their own home.

After graduating from Boston University’s College of Communication Tom worked at newspapers in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania before moving to Wisconsin. He reported on utilities and worked as business editor at the Green Bay-Press Gazette in the 1990s and then moved to Milwaukee, where he covered energy, utilities and sustainable business for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. His reporting on energy and climate change won the National Press Club’s Stokes Award for Energy Writing in 2007. Tom and his family live in Glendale.
