US builds more fossil fuel infrastructure than in a decade as renewable growth slows

A new report from the Environmental Defense Fund and Atlas Public Policy finds the US is building more fossil fuel infrastructure than in the last decade while renewable energy growth slows. Electricity demand is climbing faster than in over a decade due to data centers, factories and electric vehicles. Despite this demand, the Trump administration has sought to hinder wind and solar industries. If all gas projects in the development pipeline are completed, they could lock in higher pollution and electricity prices for decades.
