There’s a New Playbook for Cutting Power Prices Rob talks with the Federation of American Scientists’ Arjun Krishnaswami on a new report with practical steps governments can take to make electricity more affordable.

Today @scientistsorg.bsky.social is out with a new playbook to reduce utility bills, deploy clean energy, and make government work for people. I joined @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social on Shift Key to discuss the playbook and what state and local leaders can do to cut bills.

NEW SHIFT KEY

Democrats have campaigned on cutting power bills — or at least slowing their rise. But how can they actually do it? I’m joined by @arjjacob.bsky.social to discuss a big new playbook for lowering electricity costs & deploying clean energy.

New from me with The States Forum — State leaders can take on rising utility bills by addressing the full set of barriers to building clean energy projects. Read more here: statesforum.substack.com/p/the-year-o...

Quick fixes won’t solve high energy bills As grid spending increases, policymakers should look beyond residential customers to cover costs, writes Arjun Krishnaswami, a senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists.

High utility bills are driving states to soften rate hikes through demand flexibility and making it easier to build clean energy.

We should move quickly on these good policies. But we also need more fundamental reform.

Project development barriers slow clean energy deployment. Political barriers grind it to a screeching halt.

To address the climate crisis, rein in utility bills, and deliver on clean energy, we need to first address those barriers.

Want abundant energy? Ask who benefits from scarcity. Achieving energy abundance requires reforming electricity markets, refreshing electric utility regulation and rethinking the way we pay for grid infrastructure.

Updating the Clean Electricity Playbook To fight the climate crises we need new policy frameworks and expanded coalitions to facilitate the rapid transformation of the electricity system.

The pressures on the U.S. electricity system are rapidly increasing, and our policy playbook needs an upgrade. I joined @scientistsorg.bsky.social as a Senior Fellow to jump into this work. Here’s a bit more on what I’m up to—and an invitation to join me in collaboration.
