@energyinnovation.org on the impact of federal energy policy decisions since Jan 2025: 152GW lost clean energy capacity additions through 2030 and 637GW through 2040, an extra $650bn in energy costs for households, and $2.3trn in lost GDP 2026-2040: thepowerline.substack.com/p/federal-en... 🔌💡

Federal Energy Policy Will Increase Energy Bills, Cut Off Affordable Electricity Generation Additions

More emissions, higher consumer costs, dirtier air, and less power when we need it most
