Description
Electric cooperatives across the country are jumping at the chance to
get billions of dollars under a new federal program that aims to bring
more clean energy to rural America – a sign that some utilities in those
communities, which have been among biggest coal users, are viewing wind
and solar power more favorably despite the conservative backlash.
POLITICO’s Catherine Morehouse breaks down why co-ops see this federal
program as a game-changing opportunity. Plus, Stellantis announced it
would build another massive joint venture battery plant with Samsung SDI
in Kokomo, Indiana.
