Episode Details

Utah’s solar power just outpaced all other energy sources in May, fueled by ideal conditions, vast land, and mineral wealth—part of a bold “all-of-the-above” strategy to boost the economy and stay competitive. But while the state pushes for diverse energy like nuclear, solar, and hydro, federal support still favors fossil fuels, making renewables harder to scale. Rep. Celeste Maloy is rallying public and industry support, pushing for balanced energy policies that benefit everyone. Legislative wins in the House now face Senate hurdles—without bipartisan buy-in, investors may hesitate. Governor Spencer Cox backs Operation Gigawatt, aiming to double Utah’s energy output in a decade, with renewables offering job growth and price stability—key advantages for rural communities and long-term economic resilience.
