Ads from at least three different groups show there’s support for clean energy on both sides of the aisle. The ads have a lot in common. They all mention how the tax credits lower electric bills, create jobs and keep U.S. manufacturing globally competitive.

June 18, 2025Article origination IPB News It's possible Duke Energy's Cayuga coal plant might not shut down after all. The utility reached an agreement with a coal trade association on Tuesday.
