They Block the Power. You Pay the Bill. | Tech Tuesday

Text the show! We’re not out of power. We’re out of permission. America’s innovators are building solar farms, gas plants, batteries, and new ways to harness geothermal energy. Meanwhile, projects wait years to connect—and the companies sending your electric bill keep asking for higher rates. Tonight on Common Sense with Chad Law: the bureaucratic bottleneck behind America’s electricity debate, the monopoly hiding in the delivery charges, and why permission to raise your bill seems to come faster than permission to supply your power. From two innovators reinventing geothermal drilling in a New Hampshire barn to the electric cooperatives built by American farmers, there’s a better question than “Which energy source should Washington pick?” What standard must a project meet, what will the process cost, and when will it get a yes or no? Set the standard. Publish the cost. Put a clock on it.
