Short Circuiting Policy - Interest Groups and the Battle Over Clean Energy and Climate Policy in the American States

Short Circuiting Policy examines climate and energy politics over several decades to understand why US states are not on track to meet the climate crisis. It argues that electric utilities and clean energy companies battle over policy, and their relative power explains why US states have stopped expanding-and even started weakening-their renewable energy policies. The book explains key US clean energy policies, including Renewable Portfolio Standards and net metering, in detail.
