That could help avert energy shortages and keep prices low, an argument that renewable energy firms are making to policymakers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOur message to the administration is, let\u2019s be realistic about this,\u201d John Ketchum, the chief executive of NextEra Energy, one of the country\u2019s largest power producers, said in an interview. \u201cIf you take renewables and storage off the table, we\u2019re going to force electricity prices to the moon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the same time, Republican leaders in Congress are talking about ending federal subsidies in the form of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/07\/climate\/ira-renewable-energy-tax-credits.html\" title=\"\">tax credits for low-carbon electricity<\/a>, which have been expected to supercharge the growth of wind and solar power. Uncertainty around those credits has paralyzed the renewable energy industry, with companies delaying projects and laying off workers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The chaos could make it harder for the United States to slash its planet-warming emissions, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/01\/09\/climate\/2024-heat-record-climate-goal.html\" title=\"\">even as scientists warn the risks from climate change are escalating<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But an environmental argument won\u2019t get far with a president who dismisses global warming. So, many wind and solar companies are now casting their industries as essential to achieving U.S. energy abundance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe focus is, what do we need to ensure that we have enough energy to retain our dominance in manufacturing, in electrification, in artificial intelligence?\u201d said Sandhya Ganapathy, chief executive of EDP Renewables North America, a leading wind and solar developer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Over the next 15 years, U.S. electricity demand could increase by up to 50 percent as tech companies build massive data centers for artificial intelligence, factories expand and millions of people plug in electric cars, according to a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/cleanpower.org\/resources\/us-national-power-demand-study\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">new study<\/a> by S &amp; P Global Commodity Insights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Renewable companies say they are well positioned to help meet that growth in the near future. This year, wind, solar and batteries <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=64586\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">are projected to make up 93 percent<\/a> of new electric capacity added to American grids \u2014 with the rest coming from power plants that burn natural gas. In many places, building new wind turbines or installing solar panels are often the cheapest ways to generate additional electrons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But data centers need power around the clock, something wind and solar power alone can\u2019t provide. That\u2019s why, at the nation\u2019s biggest annual gathering of the energy industry in Houston last week, many executives insisted that demand would have to be largely supplied by natural gas plants today and perhaps in the future by <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2023\/11\/12\/climate\/nuclear-reactors-clean-energy.html\" title=\"\">advanced nuclear reactors<\/a> or <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/08\/28\/climate\/geothermal-energy-projects.html\" title=\"\">enhanced geothermal plants<\/a>, which can generate electricity at all hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe A.I. revolution is coming, it\u2019s going to be big, it\u2019s going to take a lot of power,\u201d said Ryan Lance, chief executive of the oil giant ConocoPhillips. \u201cAnd gas is going to be right at the forefront of driving that power demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ketchum of NextEra had a different view. His company already owns a fleet of 19 gas-fired power plants, one of the nation\u2019s largest, and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.utilitydive.com\/news\/nextera-ge-vernova-gas-earnings\/738316\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">plans to build even more<\/a> gas units as the need for electricity grows. But Mr. Ketchum said that wind, solar and batteries will be just as important for meeting rising demand over the next few years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A big reason, he explained, is that power companies now have to wait up to five years to order new gas turbines as manufacturers struggle to keep up with global demand. Any new gas projects that aren\u2019t already under development are unlikely to come online before 2030, he said. Other nascent technologies like advanced nuclear power are even farther off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By contrast, many wind and solar projects can be built within 12 to 18 months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The cost of building new gas power plants has also nearly tripled since the inflation shock of 2022, Mr. Ketchum said, while wind and solar prices have increased only modestly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Ketchum added that the intermittent nature of renewables isn\u2019t always a problem, since wind and solar are just one component of a larger electric system. Some regions might have gas turbines that don\u2019t currently run much at night, so ramping those up and then adding solar and batteries for the daytime could help provide additional round-the-clock power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cLook, nobody\u2019s built more gas-fired generation in the last 20 years than we have, and we agree we\u2019re going to need more gas,\u201d Mr. Ketchum said. \u201cBut there\u2019s a time problem and there\u2019s a cost problem. So our message is, don\u2019t pull away from renewables, because they\u2019re the only thing we have as a country that we can build to meet the demand that\u2019s here right now and that\u2019s really low cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some tech titans echoed that view. Microsoft, which has said it will spend $80 billion on new data centers this year, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/story\/money\/business\/2024\/09\/20\/microsoft-urged-to-use-clean-energy-to-power-mt-pleasant-data-center\/75293323007\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">may need new gas generation<\/a> in Wisconsin and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/20\/climate\/three-mile-island-reopening.html\" title=\"\">is paying a hefty sum to reopen the shuttered nuclear plant<\/a> at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania. But the company still says it wants as much wind and solar power as it can get.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt would have been a different conversation a decade ago when wind and solar weren\u2019t as cost-competitive, but now they\u2019re actually the most cost-competitive option\u201d in places like the Southwest or Great Plains, said Bobby Hollis, Microsoft\u2019s vice president of energy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jim Robb, chief executive of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, the nation\u2019s grid monitor, has long warned that an overreliance on renewable energy could cause new problems for electric utilities \u2014 a wind drought during hot summer months, for example, can raise the risk of blackouts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But even Mr. Robb agreed that there aren\u2019t many other options for rapidly expanding energy supply over the next few years. \u201cTo the extent that we\u2019re going to unleash abundant energy in North America in the near term, it\u2019s going to mostly be wind and solar,\u201d Mr. Robb said at a panel on grid reliability in Washington last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That message is starting to catch on with some conservative lawmakers. As Republican leaders search for trillions of dollars in offsets to pay for tax cuts, at least 21 G.O.P. House members signed a letter this month urging the preservation of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/07\/climate\/ira-renewable-energy-tax-credits.html\" title=\"\">incentives for low-carbon power sources<\/a> \u2014 including wind, solar, hydropower, nuclear and geothermal \u2014 that were part of a 2022 climate law signed by former President Joseph R. Biden Jr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/conservamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ConservAmerica.Brattle.EnergyDemandReport.FINAL_.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">recent study<\/a> commissioned by ConservAmerica, a conservative environmental group, estimated that repealing those tax credits could cause U.S. electricity costs to rise by $51 billion per year by 2035, largely because wind and solar additions would decline by 50 percent and become more expensive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cCommon sense tax credits that preserve all-of-the-above options for reliable energy are essential to American energy dominance and keeping costs low,\u201d Representative Gabe Evans, Republican of Colorado, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/repgabeevans\/status\/1899155732710486301\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said in explaining why he signed the letter<\/a>. Mr. Evans\u2019 district has several factories that make wind-turbine components.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For now, many Trump administration officials remain deeply skeptical of renewables. In Houston last week, Chris Wright, the new U.S. energy secretary, said that wind and solar power <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/10\/climate\/energy-secretary-climate-change-fossil-fuels.html\" title=\"\">weren\u2019t nearly as useful<\/a> as natural gas, and often trigger local opposition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWind has been singled out because it\u2019s had a singularly poor record of driving up prices and getting increasing citizen outrage, whether you\u2019re a farm or you\u2019re in a coastal community,\u201d Mr. Wright said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEverywhere wind and solar penetration have increased significantly, prices went up,\u201d Mr. Wright said. (That <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/visualisation\/14849552\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">isn\u2019t always true<\/a>: While California\u2019s electricity rates have jumped as rooftop solar panels have proliferated, Texas has seen its prices decline even as wind and solar now provide one-quarter of the state\u2019s power.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some renewable energy proponents said they hoped the attacks on wind and solar power would subside once the reality of America\u2019s need for more electricity sunk in. They compared it to the early years of the Biden administration, when White House officials blocked new drilling leases <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/10\/climate\/climate-oil-crisis-global.html\" title=\"\">only to soften<\/a> after Russia invaded Ukraine and global oil prices spiked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-12\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe saw the last administration condemn American oil and gas until gas prices went up \u2014 and then they said, um, guys can you please produce more oil and gas,\u201d said Jason Grumet, chief executive of the American Clean Power Association, a renewable industry trade group. \u201cWe do believe that once the emotion moves through the system and the economics start to come into focus, we\u2019ll have a truly all-of-the-above energy policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
