Cheap and Abundant Electricity Is Good

Jane Flegal argues for prioritizing cheap and abundant electricity to enable broad electrification, economic growth, and effective decarbonization policies.

The book examines policy choices, infrastructure investment, and regulatory changes needed to expand reliable power at scale.

It critiques short-term affordability framings that ignore long-term structural drivers of electricity costs and supply.

Flegal emphasizes the importance of planning, financing, and permitting reforms to support rapid grid expansion and equitable cost allocation.

The work blends policy analysis with political strategy to recommend practical reforms for scaling low-carbon electricity.
