Shortcast: "Energy Inflation"
from Energy Capital Podcast Hosted by Texas Energy & Power Media
This is the read-aloud version of my June 26 article, now on YouTube & the Energy Capital Podcast I don’t usually record readings of my articles, but I made an exception for this one. If Congress passes the budget bill as is, it would spike energy costs for families and businesses and cause serious economic harm. So I sat down and read the piece aloud with a few added thoughts and commentary as I went. Watch on YouTubeRead the original article here What you’ll get in the episode: * Why “leveling the playing field” leaves out 100+ year old coal, oil, and gas subsidies (aren’t they mature industries at this point?) * How a $300 increase per household could be heading for your utility bills * What the real consequences of a 60-day cliff would be (I explain it in plain English) * Why this is really about consumers and voters, more than renewables, which will get built anyway, but they’ll cost more… which is probably why so many people oppose ending the clean energy tax credits. This is more than just a policy argument, it’s a warning. And a reminder that what Congress chooses in the next few days and weeks will show up on bills, ballots, and balance sheets. If you want to understand what’s at stake, and how we got here. Give it a listen. Thanks for being part of this. Energy Capital is produced by ClarityForge Studios. This is a public episode.
