Under the Biden administration, the executive branch has issued multiple regulations that have incentivized a transition away from fossil fuels towards a more “Green” electrical grid. How will a transition away from fossil fuels impact the reliability of the grid? With environmental rules that disincentivize internal combustion engines, how will the increase in electrical vehicles affect the grid? Does the grid have the capacity to meet these goals? Will these new demands on the grid impact electricity prices to American consumers? Will these new requirements impact the reliability of the grid?
