Foxwell and Mitchell: The Annapolis Politics of the High Costs of Energy

Editor’s Note: Beginning this month, the Spy’s From and Fuller and Maryland Caucus with Foxwell and Mitchell will broadcast twice a week to cover the wide range of issues expected to shape the 2026 campaign.

Every week, Maryland political analysts Len Foxwell and Clayton Mitchell break down the politics and personalities shaping the state and the region on the Spy podcast Maryland Caucus.

This week, Len and Clayton focus on sharply rising electricity costs in Maryland, and how state energy policies have reduced power supply while increasing demand, forcing Maryland to import expensive, fossil-fuel-generated electricity and driving up household bills.

This video is approximately eight minutes in length.
