California just took a major step toward reshaping how electricity moves across the Western U.S. It’s a change that could transform the region’s power grid and boost clean energy.

President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” phases out tax credits for clean energy projects, slowing the addition of new power to the grid. Experts predict it could drive up energy costs, especially in parts of the Mountain West.

New data shows parts of the Mountain West region have some of America’s highest rates of electric vehicle use – and some of the lowest.
