As energy affordability rises in voter concerns ahead of the 2026 midterms, The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism continues its in-depth look at the future of American energy dominance.
In this interview, Maggie Miller sits down with Jonathan Williams, President and Chief Economist of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), to discuss ALEC’s newly released “Essential Policy Solutions for 2026” report. A key focus of the report is energy affordability and the ARC framework—Affordable, Reliable, Clean energy—which outlines a path forward to meet the nation’s changing energy needs through innovation and competition.
We discuss the importance of sharing collaborative concepts, the best state in the nation for energy affordability, successful model policies, and the role of states in shaping energy policy.
