Plain‑English summary, cross‑checked against the official bill text.

This bill would force major power companies to prove that clean energy is too expensive before they are allowed to build new fossil fuel plants.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

Monopoly power companies often want to build expensive fossil fuel plants because they can pass the costs directly to you. This bill would stop them from rigging the math. It would force them to hire an independent expert to check if clean energy would be cheaper and work just as well. If the clean options are a better deal, the company would have to choose them.
