This morning on The Greg & Dan Show, Michael Pittman from Ameren shares with us about the programs that Ameren has to make schools and even your house more energy efficient.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Former Missouri Senator John Lamping joins Marc & Kim to unpack a month of quiet corruption in the state legislature. Lamping slams the new utility bill signed by Governor Parson, calling it a stealth tax hike that allows Ameren to charge customers upfront for unbuilt energy projects. He warns of rate hikes with zero transparency and blasts the revolving door between utility companies and the Public Service Commission. Lamping also discusses Ian Mackey's merger bill and why it's likely more setup for 2026 than a real threat this year. Plus, he breaks down the 'previous question' tactic and why the GOP rarely flexes that muscle even when they should. Missouri's legislature might be winding down, but the backroom deals are just heating up.
Ameren Illinois launched a new program in 2024 to help public schools throughout its service territory to save money on utility bills and reduce the schools' carbon footprint. The new program is called Public Schools Carbon-Free Assessment Program. Joining us today is Michael Pittman to talk about this FREE energy assessment.

Now here's your hosts, Allen Hall, Joel Saxum, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes. Allen Hall: To start off the week, Joel and I have just completed a couple of days that. ACP OMS in Nashville, Tennessee. And if you don't know where Nashville is in the center ish of the country, more towards the eastern part than the western part. It's the same state where it Davey Crockett came from Daniel Boone. Am I right about that, Joel? Sergeant York, Andrew Jackson. Yeah. This is some old names. Yeah, it's right next to, actually next to North Carolina. So we're like I don't know, an hour's drive from North Carolina with the area that got hit with hurricane a couple of months ago. We're not very far from it. But Nashville, the event was pretty well populated. I was trying to relate it to the OM and S event that happened in San Diego a year ago. It felt like it was a little bit smaller of an event, Joel, and maybe the attendance was a little bit lower. Joel Saxum: Yeah, the interesting, we were at the Gaylord Opryland Convention Center. It's absolutely massive. I learned today that it's the largest like resort convention center without a casino in the entire world. Like it felt like he walked like a mile through the inside of the thing to get to it. Like the conference center. What I think the issue there was, or what it felt like, is it didn't feel like it was as well attended as it was last year. A lot of ISPs, so a lot of blade repair companies, a lot of service companies, all floating around, not as many operators, but my thought is we're used to having this thing in San Diego. It was 40 degrees and raining today. And in San Diego every year it's like 75, 80 degrees. Beautiful. Everything is fantastic. People bring their families and stuff like that. So you hear a lot of people, oh yeah, I can't grab dinner tonight. I got, my, my wife and kids we're gonna go do this. When you're in the San Diego event here, not so much. 'cause it's, there's live music that's great that but it, you're also 20 minutes from downtown. It is a little bit of a different feel. But yeah the show floor. Of course, Allen and you and I took a couple laps around it and Claire, our producer as well. We took a couple laps around to see what was there. A lot of the same players that we're used to seeing a lot of the same companies. Nothing super new that stuck out. Nothing groundbreaking, however. A couple cool things, right? We sat down, I think we rec, we recorded a bunch of great material with some of our podcast friends and people new to the podcast at the thing. You'll hear those in the coming weeks, of course. But we did get to look at the Earth next platform from Earth Wind. That was really cool. Also the Gulf Wind Technology team was there and they were show showcasing their up tower root bushing repair. That was really cool. Other than that, ah, c nnc onsite, right? The ability to do precision machining up tower, which is really neat.
