Shenanigans! In all seriousness, it was all too predictable that shareholder interests in staying ahead on AI would prevail over longer term climate goals that are not being enforced particularly rigorously in the world of finance and completely voluntarily within the companies.

Can I just say, @energyinnovation.org has the best communications and editorial team in the business. @silviomarcacci.bsky.social and @shannonstirone.bsky.social worked wonders turning my wonky ass prose into understandable, compelling narrative to make this piece shine.

The "Big Beautiful Bill" will spike consumer bills, cost America jobs, and threaten power supply shortfalls.

But smart states are moving quickly to accelerate deployment before tax credits go away.

Psyched to work with @oboylemm.bsky.social on this NYT column.

Wind turbines are beautiful and people who say they cause cancer are exceedingly dumb

With clean energy tax credits rapidly expiring, states need to be more creative than ever to maximize these savings for consumers. That's why former Gov. Bill Ritter and I wrote this piece for @nytimes.com urging states speed up procurement of wind and solar energy www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/o...

California could move quickly to enable 23 GW of renewables near existing thermal generators, in time for the projects to qualify for tax credits before they expire, says a think tank policy director. Quoted in my latest story for PV Magazine USA is an LA Times opinion piece by @oboylemm.bsky.social

thanks @latimes.com for sharing my perspective on the opportunity for California to pull forward clean energy procurement and qualify for rapidly expiring federal tax credits. I hope other states can similarly act quickly to pull forward these savings. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... #energysky
Contributor: How California can cash in on federal incentives for green power before they disappear
Our state's leaders need to think strategically and act immediately. Capitalizing on existing infrastructure will be key.

shout out to @senangusking.bsky.social for BRINGING ADVANCED CONDUCTORS to a hearing. King this morning was correct that advanced conductors can up-to-double the throughput of power in existing ROW. Apparently he read the #2035Report on the subject. www.2035report.com/reconductori... #energysky

What do people think happens when you can't build gas any faster, you kill the more than 100
GW of planned solar, and load keeps growing? What new energy sources will we build? batteries charged by expensive gas and 50 year old coal plants that the owners want to retire? What the fuck. #energysky

if NYPA builds it, will it just supply NYPA customers, or will it just participate in the wholesale market? How does it work in NY's market structure?

Sounds like the podcast is out. But you might also find this paper on HDEV cost competitiveness from our Transportation lead Chris Busch relevant. energyinnovation.org/report/deliv...

Battery electric heavy-duty trucks should be cheaper than diesel counterparts across major vehicle types by 2030 in most states.

The hydrogen hype cycle has confused the industry's growth trajectory--with implications for electric and gas utilities. @oboylemm.bsky.social and I worked with the Regulatory Energy Transition Accelerator on a new @energyinnovation.org hydrogen regulation paper:
energyinnovation.org/report/regul...
A graphic titled "Hydrogen Regulatory Overview." It includes two concentric circles. The inner circle is orange with the sub-title "issues in energy regulators' purview." It includes four bubbles labeled "electricity systems," "natural gas systems," "hydrogen infrastructure," and "pipeline and appliance safety," each with illustrative icons. The outer circle is blue with the sub-title "other issues affecting hydrogen's growth." It includes four bubbles labeled "government policy goals," "emissions accounting schemes," "local air pollution," and "water consumption," again with each having its own illustrative icon. An Energy Innovation watermark logo is included in the bottom-left corner.
