Some Democrats are frustrated with the energy-related measures in the
debt ceiling package, which must be signed into law by President Joe
Biden by June 5 in order to avoid a government default. POLITICO’s Josh
Siegel breaks down what’s bothering Democrats, why the White House is
defending its debt ceiling deal, and what’s next in terms of energy
permitting negotiations. Plus, a panel of grid experts warned senators
Thursday that the U.S. power system is ill-prepared to combat the
climate crisis under the current regulatory framework.
