The political system in the US is designed to create competing centers of power, none of which has full control. This is an example of that: state governments and utility regulators in some states are engaged in policy at odds with federal government policy, which currently subsidizes a shift to wind and solar. The pay-to-play nature of much of US government is particularly problematic in this regard.
