Electric vehicles - and other sources of demand flexibility - are an underrated element of the strategy to meet increased demand from data centers. Nice story about (finally!) progress toward vehicle-to-grid functionality.
E&E News: Are EVs and the grid about to merge? Maybe.
The new electric Acura RSX will send electricity to a house. It's the latest step in the march toward two-directional charging.

BREAKING: SCOTUS will hear a case over whether it should overrule Humphrey's Executor — in a shadow docket order that also allows Trump's firing of Rebecca Slaughter as an FTC commissioner to take effect while the appeal is considered, which should not be allowed under Humphrey's Executor.
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 25A264 (25-332)
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ET AL. U. REBECCA KELLY SLAUGHTER, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 22, 2025]
The application for stay presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE and by him referred to the Court is granted. The July 17, 2025 order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, No. 25-cv-909, ECF Doc. 52, is stayed.
The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment, and the petition is granted. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following ques-tions: (1) Whether the statutory removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission violate the separation of powers and, if so, whether Humphrey's Executor
v. United States, 295 U. S. 602 (1935), should be overruled.
(2) Whether a federal court may prevent a person's removal from public office, either through relief at equity or at law.
The Clerk is directed to establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be argued in the December 2025 argument session. The stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.

CA takes big step for ratepayers & planet, advancing legislation to pave way for Western RTO (part of suite of climate & energy policies to be celebrated as national government takes us backwards on these issues). Still, many hurdles & obstacles remain to establishing a well-functioning Western RTO:
Regional Western electricity market closer to reality following California vote
The passage of AB 825 caps a years-long push by many clean energy advocates to regionalize the Western energy markets and sets the stage for the creation of a regional transmission organization.

Beyond its precise and completely convincing validation of Lisa Cook's argument, this is an outstanding, well crafted legal brief.
