"We could be looking at a measure,
. . . that has an impact on electricity prices, for all Americans,”

As for the purported threat to national security,
. . . caused by closing coal and nuclear plants,
. . . those arguments from DOE have been undermined by evidence,
. . . from its own grid reliability study released last year,
. . . as well as by grid operators across the country.
The vast majority of grid outages,
. . . are caused at the distribution and transmission grid network, and
. . . almost none are caused by lack of fuel supplies.
