  • Big Ag and Big Oil battle for Trump’s support on diesel

    Big Ag and Big Oil battle for Trump’s support on diesel
    2026/09/23
    Diesel prices are at record highs across the country right now, and that’s creating a major split inside the Republican party ahead of the November midterm elections. Many farm-state Republicans want President Donald Trump to restrict diesel exports, while America’s oil and gas industry warns that doing so could drive prices even higher. POLITICO’s James Bikales explains what’s driving the spike in diesel prices, whether an export ban would help and what the Trump administration might do. Plus, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott expanded his de facto moratorium on new data centers, and French President Emmanuel Macron has called for a moratorium on energy sector strikes between Ukraine and Russia. James Bikales is an oil and gas reporter for POLITICO. Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and executive producer of POLITICO Energy. Yi-Jo Shen is a freelance video producer for POLITICO.

    Dems make their energy affordability pitch
    2026/09/18
    A group of House Democrats unveiled a policy menu this week on what they’d like to achieve in the next Congress to reduce emissions and lower energy costs. It’s their first look at how they would tackle energy policy should they regain power in Congress next year after the election. And it comes as Republicans struggled this week to advance bills to reduce pump prices and address voter concerns about data centers.

  • General Motors wants its cars to help power your home

    General Motors wants its cars to help power your home
    2026/09/14
    General Motors is offering a slate of electric vehicles with what the carmaker hopes will be an appealing feature: bidirectional power. That means if a customer’s power goes out, they can use their car to help energized their home, Aseem Kapur, GM Energy’s chief revenue officer, tells the POLITICO Energy podcast. That type of flexibility – which could also eventually weave in demand response programs to cut utility bills – has long been touted for EVs, but few have had the capability, until now.

  • Energy prices are closing in on the GOP’s midterm chances

    Energy prices are closing in on the GOP’s midterm chances
    2026/09/11
    Energy prices are rising throughout the country partially because of the war in the Middle East, and that’s putting Republicans and President Donald Trump on the defensive just weeks before the 2026 midterm elections. POLITICO’s Ben Lefebvre explains how higher prices are affecting consumers and the broader economy, which states and races could feel the political impact, and whether the Trump administration can bring prices down before the midterm elections. Plus, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved new standards to boost the physical security of grid infrastructure, and EPA paid staffers roughly $200 million to not work last year. Ben Lefebvre is the deputy energy editor at POLITICO. Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and executive producer of POLITICO Energy. Yi-Jo Shen is a freelance video producer for POLITICO.

    How solar power is winning over Georgia Republicans
    2026/09/09
    President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have attacked solar power and rolled back key industry tax credits. But now, in conservative Georgia, Republicans are embracing the green technology, exposing a growing divide within the party. POLITICO’s Zack Colman explains why some Georgia Republicans are warming up to solar and what that could say about the future of clean energy for Republicans around the country. Plus, the Energy Department announced recently that it finalized a $1.9 billion loan to help restart a shuttered nuclear power plant in Iowa. Zack Colman covers climate change for POLITICO.
