As a long-term investment strategy, electricity should be made as affordable as possible for consumers, as doing so enables electrification and the switch away from fossil fuels. State and federal investments in transmission and distribution will make electricity, and thus electrification, more affordable relative to natural gas across the United States. This affordability will compound with an anticipated long-term change to natural gas prices (bringing them more in line with electricity prices), a trend that can be accelerated with the implementation of clean heat standards or putting a price on carbon.
