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

This fact sheet asserts that clean energy is the cheapest way to meet accelerating nationwide electricity demand. It critiques federal policies that support aging coal and expensive gas plants while stalling clean energy projects and repealing tax credits.

• Electricity demand is increasing across the United States, leading several states to encounter constraints within their electricity systems.
• The federal government's current electricity policy is described as disruptive and costly, characterized by the forced operation of old coal plants, investment in expensive gas plants, the repeal of tax credits for solar and wind power, and the obstruction of clean power projects that are either planned or already under construction.
