As President Trump pushes for more fossil fuel production while limiting wind and solar growth, renewable energy advocates emphasize their role in addressing the surging electricity demand driven by data centers. With significant challenges in constructing new gas plants, developers argue that wind, solar, and battery storage can provide a fast, cost-effective solution to avert energy shortages and control prices. Executives, like NextEra Energy's John Ketchum, emphasize the necessity of including renewables in the energy strategy to maintain affordable electricity.
Our message to the administration is, let's be realistic about this, John Ketchum, the chief executive of NextEra Energy, said in an interview.
If you take renewables and storage off the table, we're going to force electricity prices to the moon.
