The climate policy landscape is evolving, with a shift towards innovative approaches beyond traditional carbon-focused strategies. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in the United States has ushered in a new era of climate policy by providing generous tax credits for renewable energy, hydrogen, electric vehicles, and more. State public utility commissions are also playing a vital role by implementing policies to combat climate change while ensuring affordable energy rates, particularly through clean electricity generation expansions. Federal agencies like the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) are spearheading efforts to enhance grid resiliency and address climate challenges through initiatives such as interconnection queue reform and transmission planning. This shift towards energy regulation and industrial policy signifies a positive direction in tackling climate change by emphasizing the importance of clean energy infrastructure development. Ian Faucher, a Stanford graduate, shares insights from his experiences in the energy and regulatory sectors, highlighting the significance of these new approaches in building a sustainable future.
