Description (excerpt):

From surging electricity demand to climbing greenhouse gas emissions to rising energy prices for working families, policymakers face competing challenges that demand thoughtful, rigorous answers. Both the Democratic and Republican Parties’ energy plans often miss the mark, as they default to platitudes and blanket statements instead of the pragmatic policies Americans want. This challenge is particularly acute for Democrats, whose emphasis on clean energy can read as unrealistic and out-of-touch with the median American, whose daily life almost invariably depends on fossil fuels and for whom cost concerns are paramount.
