Clean electricity standard - you may have heard about it recently as part of Congress' infrastructure push, but what does it actually mean and what's the likelihood of it passing? On this episode, we're talking to Rebecca Leber, Senior Reporter at Vox for a deep dive on a clean electricity standard, how it would play out for utilities, and the benefits it'd provide to consumers all across the country. Rebecca also provides us an overview of all the clean energy policies on the table right now as part of the infrastructure package.
