Coal On Gas. Coal and natural gas are fighting to see who’s better on climate change, let’s give that some airtime.
ITC For All. The wind wants ITC for onshore projects, 30% upfront instead of a PTC. Great, let’s get the deal done, can you bring Senator Grassley along, please?
Read This Headline Again. I posted this story two weeks ago, it was silly then that we would be threatened with blackouts if gas plants closed. Today, we are living through a blackout BECAUSE we are too reliant on central power plants.
Lived Experience. How did you, friends or family members experience the blackout? Tell me your story.
The Muni Blowback. IOUs are making a media push to show the downside of municipalization of power companies. Several munis are looking to sell back to the monopoly. Watch this space.
Have a great weekend!
