Energy Affordability is a Policy Choice with Lora Current | LPP 197

from Let People Prosper · host Vance Ginn, Ph.D.

Electricity bills are rising. Gas prices are volatile. And families across the country are feeling it. But here’s the uncomfortable truth policymakers don’t like to admit: High energy costs are not just the result of markets—they’re the result of policy choices.Too often, lawmakers pass rules that sound good politically but quietly drive up costs, reduce reliability, and limit economic opportunity. And when prices rise, they blame everything except the policies that caused it. That needs to change.In Episode 197 of the Let People Prosper Show, I interviewed Lora Current of the American Legislative Exchange Council to break down what’s really driving energy costs—and what states can do to fix it. If you care about affordability, economic growth, and getting policy right, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.Watch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify, visit my website at vanceginn.com for more information about my work at Ginn Economic Consulting, and see show notes on my newsletter at vanceginn.substack.com.
