Season 2: Episode 29 | Voters & the Grid Feat. Chris Lane, Senior Partner at Cygnal

About this episode

Chris Lane discusses new voter polling on energy infrastructure and grid reliability.

We invite Chris Lane, Senior Partner at Cygnal, to unpack new voter polling conducted in partnership with the Conservative Energy Network. The survey reveals strong bipartisan support for expanding transmission infrastructure in the PJM and MISO regions — key to strengthening grid reliability, lowering energy costs, and boosting U.S. energy independence. Chris breaks down what voters really think about the electric grid, energy affordability, and the role of markets in modernizing America’s power system.
