California’s aggressive EV mandates are facing new legal challenges, electricity rates are climbing, and America’s aging grid is being asked to power more than ever—from electric vehicles and heat pumps to massive new AI data centers.
Tom Clark and Rand DeWitt break down why the push to electrify everything may be running into economic and infrastructure reality. They look at California’s EV mandate, the growing demand for electricity, nuclear power development, grid reliability, and the rising importance of on-site power generation.
Plus, Tom explains why propane continues to make sense for fleets, school buses, homes, businesses, and power generation—offering reliable American energy, greater energy security, and potentially significant fuel savings.
Is America’s energy future really all-electric, or will practical solutions like propane play a much bigger role?
The State of Energy takes on the debate.
