Read the original article on newsweek.com (opens in a new tab)Amy Miller argues that US energy projects stall because developers and policymakers fail to explain to local communities what projects deliver, and that earlier, genuine engagement would help. Her figures on rising electricity demand and the grid connection queue are attributed to named sources, and nothing in the piece makes a false claim about the science or climate policy. Nothing in it misleads.
Opinion piece: read for false claims of fact and for fairness to the people it names, not for its opinions.
“climbing from 4,195 TWh (Terawatt-hour) in 2025 to 4,288 TWh in 2026 and 4,356 TWh in 2027”
The author gives exact demand figures for each year and attributes them to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, so a reader can see the scale of the rise and where it comes from.
“over 2,060 gigawatts (GW) of total generation and storage capacity were actively seeking connection to the grid”
The author backs the claim about stalled projects with a sourced figure from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, with a date, rather than a vague assertion.
“Some infrastructure was built in poorer communities and Indigenous lands without meaningful benefit flowing back.”
The author names who bore the cost of past energy infrastructure and treats their distrust as grounded in that history rather than dismissing it.
