Let The Sun In: Clean Energy Is The Cheapest Way To Meet Rising Demand

The document asserts that clean energy provides lower costs and less risk for meeting growing electricity demand compared to existing federal policy approaches. It criticizes the federal government for forcing aging coal plants to remain operational, investing in expensive new gas plants, and repealing tax credits for wind and solar power, which disrupts investment plans and stalls clean power projects.

• Current federal electricity policy is characterized by the maintenance of aging coal plants, investment in expensive new gas plants, and the repeal of cost-saving tax credits for wind and solar power, which hinders the development of clean power projects.
