Out of Sync: The Infrastructure Misalignment Undermining the U.S. Grid
U.S. power infrastructure—the intricate physical fabric that laces together generation, transmission, and distribution—is under intensifying strain. Outdated and overextended, it must now absorb relentless growth from electrification and data centers or risk escalating reliability threats, surging costs, and a weakened global competitive edge. POWER examines the dysfunction and what it will actually take to future-proof […]

Trump Administration Moves to Allow Unlimited Pollution from Power Plants
Former EPA employees at the Environmental Protection Network (EPN) strongly oppose the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposal to repeal all federal limits on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants and to rescind the most recent update to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS). These proposals represent a sweeping dismantling of critical […]
