How Clean Energy Became a Republican Issue, Too

How Clean Energy Became a Republican Issue, Too22 sept.35 min

Heather Reams spent about a decade working to bring more Republicans into the conversation around climate and clean energy policy.

In this episode of Power Perspectives, she shares what she learned from working directly with lawmakers, why clean energy politics often depend on local economics and geography, and how rising electricity costs and demand are changing the conversation.

We also explore where bipartisan agreement exists—and where it breaks down—on issues including permitting reform, grid modernization, nuclear energy, renewables and emerging technologies. Plus, Reams explains why she believes affordability and energy abundance are becoming increasingly important forces in U.S. energy politics.
