Democrats are enacting clean energy transitions. Guess who’s paying?
Several Democratic-led states across the country are hoping to move off fossil fuels toward a clean energy transition. But their plans carry practical and political risks – including increases in utility bills – that could hurt Democrats heading into the 2024 elections. POLITICO’s Marie French examines this trend, how it’s playing out in New York, and the lessons Democrats can learn. Plus, the Treasury Department provided an update on Friday about when to expect guidance for several clean energy tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act.
