Several corporate media outlets and some Democrats have pivoted away from climate policy and instead are shifting their message to focusing on rising electricity prices.
Though climate change has been a key plank of energy policy for most Democrats, legacy media outlets have pointed out in recent months that Democratic lawmakers have mostly abandoned mentioning the “Green New Deal” and have instead ramped up rhetoric regarding electricity costs. Democrats and legacy media outlets have been emphasizing climbing electricity costs — a shift in focus from climate change to consumer pain — as several recent polls have found that many Americans do not view climate policy as a top priority.
“The way to victory is to talk about price,” Democratic Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz said at a New York Times event in September. “You could talk about the planetary emergency and mitigation and adaptation, and you could throw in some environmental justice rhetoric, and by the time you’re done talking, people think you don’t care about them.” (RELATED: Dems Finally Realizing Most Americans Don’t Want Enormous Climate Agenda Imposed On Them)
