ROSEI's @energyabe.bsky.social was quoted in an article that explores the federal government's decision to halt construction of the nearly completed Revolution Wind offshore project, a move that could destabilize NE's grid and drive up energy costs. #HopkinsEnergy

Halting Revolution Wind could be a disaster for New England’s grid

If Trump kills the now-frozen offshore wind project, utility customers will pay more money for dirtier and less reliable electricity.

In a co-authored article for Utility Dive, ROSEI's @energyabe.bsky.social suggests that energy workers leaving the fed government could impact the nation's energy system by joining State PUCs, which oversee $200 billion+ in annual utility spending. #HopkinsEnergy www.utilitydive.com/news/doe-ene...

Thousands of energy experts are leaving federal government. Here’s where they should go.

State PUCs desperately need skilled energy professionals to advance economic development, energy affordability and national security goals.
