Since the U.S. and Israel started their military action against Iran, the price of oil has spiked, leading to higher costs for the gasoline that powers our cars, the diesel that allows shipping of our goods, and the airline fuel for our travel needs. All of this at a time when demands for electricity have soared mostly as a result of the growth of AI data centers. Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle acknowledge the need to address the cost of energy. But how far can any legislation go while there is a partisan divide on how to act?
Join CQ Roll Call’s energy reporters, David Jordan and Kelly Livingston, on Tuesday, April 21 at 2 p.m. ET, for a timely discussion unpacking the dramatic shift in U.S. energy costs over the past six weeks and what it means for members of Congress, especially as they head into the midterm election season.
