Episode 7 - A clean energy standard with a regional market-based structure offers the best and least-cost approach to attaining a zero-carbon electricity grid, says EDF's Mark Brownstein.

Mark Brownstein of the Environmental Defense Fund says a clean energy standard combined with a clear market-based structure at wholesale regionally offers the best and least-cost approach to attaining a zero-carbon electricity grid by 2035, as called for by President Biden. Having a strong national policy that sets standards for carbon and environmental performance is an essential framework, and will be achieved most efficiently and at least cost to consumers when combined with wholesale energy market structures, Brownstein says.
