DOE grid study a prelude to polluter bailout

Friends of the Earth criticizes a Department of Energy study on electrical grid reliability, arguing it ignores climate change and serves as a pretext to subsidize the coal and nuclear industries.

• Friends of the Earth asserts that the Department of Energy's electrical grid reliability study ignores climate change and is intended to provide support to the coal and nuclear industries under the guise of reliability.
• The document criticizes the study's support for faster permitting of new coal and nuclear infrastructure, citing the failure of projects like Kemper and V.C. Summer to compete with clean renewables despite receiving billions in subsidies.
