Storage For Big Dollars. NextEra has changed over the years and will now be going all in on energy storage to the tunes of billions of dollars. As FERC 841 gets implemented look to storage to make innovation happen not only on the technology side but capital deployment, trading and policy fronts as well.
Win Then Govern. You can’t govern until you’ve won the election, this is one of the biggest sins of campaigns that never get to govern. Climate change activists wants a hard commitment from Joe Biden to ban fossil fuel reps in the administration and take stronger stances against fossil fuels during the campaign. Here’s what I would recommend instead, be involved in the campaign or support group like Clean Energy for Biden and then apply for the job yourself. Not every fossil fuel rep is Scott Pruitt or Rick Perry, we have former folks from natural gas in solar today, coal workers on rooftops and subprime bond originators in project finance. No purity tests for me, win first and then advocate for change from the inside.
