In this episode of The State of Energy, hosts Tom Clark and Rand DeWitt mix humor with hard-hitting facts about clean energy, sports, and smart preparation for winter. The duo dives into Montana’s new DEQ rebate program that covers 25% of the cost of new propane-powered trucks, a game-changer for fleet operators replacing old diesel rigs. They also roast the growing list of failed EV bus projects nationwide — from Austin to Prince Edward Island — proving that propane continues to deliver where electric struggles.

Plus, Tom and Rand share 10 simple propane safety tips to keep your family safe and warm this winter, and highlight a new $10,000 PERC grant program for high schools teaching propane vehicle maintenance.

Stay warm, save big, and laugh along the way — only on The State of Energy.
