Electricity is too expensive. Here are three ways to fix that.
Lawmakers nationwide can lower power bills by cutting utility profits, rewarding the companies for boosting efficiency, and unleashing solar and storage.

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

Australia is giving away 3 free hours of electricity because they have abundant solar. Nevada is instituting a residential demand charge as a penalty for those folks who installed solar panels. One of these jurisdictions is doing it right, the other not so much. 🤔

Our biggest challenge right now is that almost no institutional investor or politician understands how rapidly things are changing (how soon oil and gas investments will be stranded) and this lack of awareness means the transition will be way more economically painful & chaotic than it needs to be.

Bill Gates hasn’t made sense on Climate since he teamed up with Bjorn Lomberg in 2009. This is just a restating of Bjorn’s book from this year about how we have a finite amount of money and we shouldn’t use it for climate. What they get wrong is that climate solutions are now fully profitable.

Why do I spend time on social media? It's for stuff like this, Jenny Chase's annual "opinions about solar". 61 posts in this thread, and they're all gold. Phenomenal stuff (and I highly recommend her book with the staggeringly boring-sounding title that's not at all boring.)

This says we should fret about the backlog of gas turbines because it will delay gas's displacement coal. Why can't this lead to faster renewables & storage deployment? Also, a key fact is buried: "gas is cleaner than coal only if methane leaks are kept in check." How's that leak-plugging going?
