Senator Elizabeth Warren, alongside Bernie Sanders and other Democratic Senators, has called on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to lower interest rates, emphasizing the negative impact high rates have had on renewable infrastructure projects and the broader economy. In a letter, they requested a clear and rapid timetable for reducing rates, starting ideally at the May FOMC meeting. The senators argue that the current high interest rates have significantly hindered major renewable infrastructure projects across the country, putting the economy at risk and disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. They highlighted the struggle of clean energy sectors, and the call was supported by @USProgressives.
