The midterms are over, and energy may have been the issue that defined them. Democrats now control Congress, voters pushed back on data centers, and even utility commission races drew national attention. What messages resonated, and what will actually change when new leaders take office in 2027?
Andrea Clabough, associate at Goldwyn Global Strategies and non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center, joins us for a rapid reaction to election week. We discuss why energy affordability struck a chord with voters, how the results could reshape permitting reform and the Ratepayer Protection Act, and why the data center industry may be entering an era of enforcement and accountability.
Plus, we look at why down-ballot races like the Georgia Public Service Commission and the Texas Railroad Commission suddenly mattered, and why energy prices are likely to remain a top issue heading into 2028.
