- A more rational energy strategy that unleashes production all power sources will be needed to shore up the U.S. grid in the future while keeping energy affordable and clean.
“A more rational, less political approach would acknowledge the need to keep natural gas plants online for longer, while working to reduce opposition and state and local level barriers to new energy investments.”
