Geopolitics shape Dems’ energy platform
The Democratic energy platform is shifting in response to global geopolitical factors like AI development and the US-Iran war, with rising energy costs driving a blend of left and right policy approaches. New York Governor Kathy Hochul's actions, including a data center moratorium and support for gas pipelines, reflect this evolving stance, while natural gas is gaining traction as part of energy affordability strategies.
