A race to overhaul the tax code, deadlines on federal spending caps, and major regulatory changes at the federal and state levels: These are just some of the gifts coming our way in the closing weeks of 2017 and beginning of the new year. On this episode of the Clean Energy Business Network’s podcast Fuel for Discussion, we give you the basics to keep up with these developments and their potential impacts on clean energy markets. In Episode 2: Energy Policy Outlook for 2018, we hear from policy experts providing analysis of key policy developments impacting clean energy markets.
