YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"You've been lied to." In this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, Maggie Miller sits down with Jason Hayes, Director of Energy and Environment at the America First Policy Institute, to examine why energy costs continue to rise and whether U.S. energy policy is actually making the problem worse.
Hayes argues that regulation and litigation have created a system of “regulated scarcity,” driving higher costs for consumers while undermining reliability. We discuss the role individual states have had in creating their own energy realities. Hayes says nuclear and natural gas should be looked at as a baseline of reliable and clean energy sources. We discussion also explores the ARC legislation, the pitfalls of prioritizing “clean” over affordable and reliable energy, and what it will take to meet growing demand efficiently moving forward.
