Clip: 1/21/2020 | 5m 19sVideo has Closed Captions
Clean energy advocates want a clean break from a new Trump administration energy policy.
A recent ruling from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission could lead to a spike in your electric bill. But then again, maybe not. There’s a back-and-forth between environmental groups who say they’ve got a fix that will save consumers money, but critics say that so-called fix will be responsible for rate hikes. Amanda Vinicky is here to sort it out.
