States Fight Back Against Fossilized Energy Policies

AI and data centers are driving unprecedented demand for power. At the same time, federal clean-energy support is being rolled back, leaving households and businesses exposed to higher costs and grid instability. So where does that leave us? In this episode of The Energy Show, Barry Cinnamon is joined by Sachu Constantine, Executive Director of Vote Solar, to break down what’s really happening behind the scenes — and why state-level solar and storage policy may be the most powerful lever left to protect affordability, reliability, and clean energy growth. Sachu breaks down: • The growing federal backlash against solar and clean energy • Why electricity prices are rising — and why it’s not going to stop • How AI and data centers are pushing the grid to its breaking point • Why solar + batteries are now the fastest, cheapest grid solution Please tune in to this week’s Energy Show at to understand how the fight for clean energy has moved to the states as the federal government returns to the expensive and polluting policies of the past.
