Under President Joe Biden, energy prices skyrocketed. The Trump administration is working around the clock to unleash American energy and drive down prices. Americans are starting to see the results at the pump and in their energy bills, but this only underscores the need for more cheap, abundant, and reliable baseload energy to power America's new golden age. Currently, States require utilities to develop integrated resource plans to assess reliable electrical generation and provide affordable electricity to consumers. These integrated resource plans provide a framework for producing reliable electricity for American businesses, hardworking Americans, and families. Unfortunately, Democrat-led States have used these integrated resource plans to push woke climate and environmental justice goals, prioritizing leftwing ideology over making life affordable for American families. Worst of all, these blue States have required utilities to shutter baseload power plants while promoting wind and solar. These reckless policies place our grid at risk and send energy prices skyrocketing. Demand for energy will increase by nearly 151 gigawatts over the next decade. However, another 115 gigawatts of reliable generation have announced anticipated retirements over that same period.
