YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

America’s electricity bills are climbing fast — and a new analysis says a major reason has been hiding in plain sight. In this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, Dr. Jonathan Lesser argues that while the U.S. added huge amounts of new generation over the last decade, it also retired the reliable, around-the-clock power plants that keep the grid steady. Creating an improper generating resource mix has raised costs that flow straight to families and businesses.

We discuss what this shift means for affordability and why rates are up, how much green energy policy is contributing, and what two key steps policymakers should take to bring costs back under control. With energy affordability a bipartisan concern, this conversation cuts through the noise to explain what’s really driving power bills higher.
