I miss my gas stove. I used to have one in a home I first lived in after moving to Massachusetts. There was something about the click-click-click and then the spark of the flame. Being able to see it and adjust it accordingly based on how much heat I wanted to generate for whatever I was cooking. It felt magically.Come to think about it, my love for a gas stove may extend back to watching my parents light cigarettes from the flame. I would guess it is a lot harder to light a smoke off an electric stove.  To this day, second-hand smoke makes me think of my childhood.But I never really gave much thought to how my home is powered. I was pretty shocked when I moved to Boston that I had an oil tank in my basement. Didn't know that was a thing. Beyond that, I was pretty ambivalent about what provided heat and warming (and flame) to my house, as long as it worked.That's why I was so intrigued to talk with Tucker Perkins, who is my guest today on Experience by Design. Tucker is the President and CEO of the Propane Education and Research Council. I didn't know we even had a Propane Education and Research Council, but it turns out we do. As their website states, “PERC was authorized by the U.S. Congress with the passage of the Propane Education and Research Act (PERA), signed into law on Oct. 11, 1996.” Also, “The Propane Education & Research Council is a nonprofit that provides leading propane safety and training programs and invests in research and development of new propane-powered technologies.”In the energy space, it also turns out that propane is the little kid on the block, and we love an underdog at Experience by Design. But like with everything on the podcast, this story is about more than propane. We dig into the larger systems perspective when it comes to energy, safety, and sustainability. We talk about how fire has a primal appeal, and how appliances are products that create pleasure. And we talk about how education is vital to behavioral change and getting people to buy into a new idea and system. Ultimately, we need to be fostering critical thinking, coupled with effectively communicating research and knowledge, to get people to make changes in their lives.Propane Education and Research Council https://propane.comTucker Perkins https://www.linkedin.com/in/tucker-perkins-8972a510/ Gary David YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@garydavid9535

The Propane Education Research Council has the Propane Farm Incentive Program where producers get money back when they purchase categories of equipment for the farm. When there's a natural disaster, the industry steps up and doubles that farm incentive for people impacted. For example, chicken barns that were destroyed in the hurricanes this fall, can get double incentives when they replace the heat and power for those barns. Irrigation engines, for example, could result in $1,700 savings.

Our guest on this week's episode is Jim Bunsey, director of commercial business development at the Propane Education & Research Council, better known in the industry as PERC. With the goal of reducing carbon footprints and clearing the air, supply chain managers are seeking cleaner technologies to power their operations. Our guest shares that the full energy cycle should be considered when choosing power for material handling equipment and transportation vehicles, including the carbon footprint of the energy creation, such as power produced by fossil-burning power plants.The big news in North American supply chains this week  has been the Canadian rail stoppage. This has been a real whirlwind of huge potential damage to retail and manufacturing operations at a time when supply chains were already in somewhat vulnerable positions. Yesterday, the railroads were locked down over a labor dispute. But last night, the Canadian government stepped in to order workers to report and to resolve their labor issues with binding arbitration. How fast can the railroads get back on track and what does this mean for supply chains?Companies running large warehouses are looking for ways to improve performance and increase efficiency, all while dealing with persistent market pressures like labor shortages and space constraints. For many companies, warehouse automation is the answer to those problems. We look at two examples where automation is making a difference in warehouse operations. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

John Umhoeffer, executive director of the Wisconsin Cheesemakers Association says getting all those dairy products to Wisconsin is no easy feat, and it gets more challenging every year. Bugs aren't usually showing their face yet this time of year, but thanks to the pretty mild winter we've been having - some have been getting active.  PJ Liesch, state entomologist, says ticks have already become active and  if we have an early spring and an extended fall, it would allow these insects to have additional generations and be more prevalent longer into the year than normal.When the temperatures swung down this week, you probably reached for the thermostat.

In rural Wisconsin, when you hear propane, you may think about heating homes or drying grain. That's a huge part of what propane does. However, the Propane Education Research Council is developing some other avenues for this fuel that agriculture is going to want to pay attention to. Mike Newland, the Director of Agricultural Business Development at PERC, says the potential for propane is broad. Currently, PERC is pushing technologies that allow farms to use propane-powered backup generators. In addition, irrigation for specialty crops can run on propane -- not a new concept, but one that they're trying to spread the word about. PERC also continues to advocate for propane-powered vehicles and equipment. Newland walks us through the logistics of fueling up a propane-powered tractor. Today, PERC is exploring how propane can be a tool in soil quality. Newland says propane can also be used in agriculture's sustainability story by helping farms reach a lower carbon footprint.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The cost and availability of propane didn't take the spotlight this year with such a warm fall. Not to mention, the warm, dry weather helped with grain drying. This is making propane prices favorable, according to Michael Newland, the director of agriculture business development at the Propane Education Research Council. He says inventories are at their highest levels in the last 5 years.  “This surplus supply is anticipated to yield a favorable pricing landscape as the sector gears up for the upcoming heating season,” explains Newland. "This surplus directly correlates with stable pricing, a boon for consumers and businesses alike." The traditional correlation between crude oil prices and propane markets has experienced a notable change in recent years. This has contributed to enhanced stability in propane pricing, separating from the volatile fluctuations observed in crude oil and related fuels.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Perkins joined PERC in 2015 as Chief Business Development Officer and was promoted to Chief Operating Officer before the Council named him President and CEO in 2018. A Virginia Tech graduate in civil engineering, Perkins earned his MBA from the University of Richmond. Perkins is a dynamic and relatable leader who has amplified propane's voice in the national energy conversation as a frequent keynote speaker on energy-related topics. Tucker is also host of the podcast, Path to Zero, in which he engages energy thought leaders in provocative discussions regarding energy and the environment and the path to zero carbon emissions. About PERC The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) is a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit that invests in the research and development of propane-powered innovation and promotes the safe, efficient use of propane through safety training and education programs. PERC is operated and funded by the propane industry, and its programs benefit a variety of markets including transportation, agriculture, commercial landscaping, residential, and commercial building. Key Takeaways: Beyond Electric Vehicles Tucker Perkins is the President and CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC). In the podcast interview, Tucker and Joe discuss beyond electric vehicles. There are many challenges facing the transportation and logistics industry regarding reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting sustainability goals. Propane is a cleaner, greener option that is often overlooked. There are many advantages to using propane in transportation and logistics including: Propane fuel has a lower carbon content than conventional gasoline and diesel fuel. When used as a vehicle fuel, propane can offer life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions benefits over conventional fuels, depending on vehicle type, age, and drive cycle. Propane exhaust is also colorless and almost odorless, making it ideal for locations where air quality is a concern. Diesel engines may be prohibited in certain areas due to their emissions. A propane engine is also quieter than diesel and gasoline engines. Propane is frequently used to replace gasoline in smaller off-road applications, such as forklifts and commercial lawn equipment, and it provides benefits like those achieved in on-road vehicles. The potential for lower maintenance costs is one reason behind propane's popularity for use in light- and medium-duty vehicles, such as trucks and taxis, and for heavy-duty vehicles, such as school buses. Propane vehicles have been widely used and refined for decades, and a propane vehicle's power, acceleration, and cruising speed are like those of conventionally fueled vehicles. The Propane Education & Research Council is a nonprofit that provides leading propane safety and training programs and invests in research and development of new propane-powered technologies. PERC is operated and funded by the propane industry. PERC programs benefit a variety of markets including transportation, agriculture, commercial landscaping, residential, and commercial building.
