Forecasts from Wood Mackenzie and Rhodium estimate renewable output could shrink by 17% for solar and 20% for wind over the next decade, putting up to $263 billion in clean-energy and manufacturing investment at risk. The policy shift may also raise household electricity bills by approximately $280/year by 2035 and industrial energy costs by $11 billion. Read more.
