Infographics: The Economic, Consumer Cost, and Pollution Impacts of Recent Federal Energy Policy Changes

The report uses Energy Policy Simulator modeling to analyze seven major federal policy shifts occurring between January 2025 and May 2026. The findings indicate that these changes will lead to increased energy costs, diminished public health outcomes, constraints on new power generation, and greater financial pressure on utilities and households through 2040.

• Modeling from the Energy Policy Simulator indicates that federal policy changes between January 2025 and May 2026 will result in higher energy costs, poorer public health outcomes, restrictions on new power generation, and increased financial strain on utility and household budgets through 2040.
• The analysis evaluates the effects of seven primary policy shifts on the energy system, businesses, and families.
