Various electric utility business models exist, each requiring profitability for operation. However, they have different attributes. Understanding these diverse models and their respective attributes is key to devising effective incentives for transitioning these entities from fossil fuel to clean energy generation.

The Inflation Reduction Act has a provision that allows drilling on federal lands.  Some call it a poison pill needed in order to get it passed.  I think it is moot point.
