In a deep dive look at the US Department of Energy post-2020 election, Bracewell’s Policy Resolution Group Senior Principal Frank Maisano told Utility Dive that the DOE “has a general mission that seems pretty consistent regardless of who takes charge.”

But just how much would change with a Biden win remains unclear.
