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

This fact sheet describes a report using Energy Policy Simulator modeling to analyze the impacts of federal policy changes enacted between January 2025 and May 2026 on the energy system and economy through 2040.

• Federal policy changes implemented between January 2025 and May 2026 are projected to increase energy costs, negatively impact public health, restrict new power generation, and place additional financial pressure on utilities and households through 2040.
• The analysis evaluates seven primary policy shifts and their specific effects on businesses, families, and the broader energy system, specifically measuring changes in GDP, domestic jobs, electricity capacity, and gasoline costs.
