Why isn’t the power industry building more transmission? Adopting advanced transmission technologies? Connecting new projects faster?.In Replacing the Utility Transmission Syndicate’s Control, I diagnose the fundamental issue: regional governance. 🧵.

the worst jobs report put out under the BLS commissioner who was just fired for supposedly trying to hurt Trump?. Nov 1, 2024, days before the election -- job growth STALLS. No doubt part of her diabolical scheme to help Democrats

She was confirmed by the Senate 86-8!.
Firing the Commissioner of Labor Statistics when the BLS revises jobs numbers down (as it routinely does) threatens to destroy trust in core American institutions, and all government statistics. I can't stress how damaging this is.

The Chicago-based utility stopped building new generation three years ago. It might start again as rising power demand stresses the regional power grid.

"AEP’s utilities have inquiries about possible new load totaling 190 GW, Fehrman said — a significant increase for a 37-GW system.".
AEP expects to add 24 GW of load by 2030, mainly from data centers. More than half of the pending load is in Texas, where AEP Texas is set to interconnect 5 GW of cryptocurrency operations, per William Fehrman, AEP president and CEO.

Great reaction from a Texas A&M Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences to yesterday's DOE climate contrarian report --.
I've been getting a lot of requests for comments on the DOE report "A critical review of the impact of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions on the U.S. climate". Here are some initial thoughts. More will come later.

@NARUC @power_tomorrow @EnergyandPolicy Nonetheless, I think @NARUC can draw a reasonable line that blocks black box orgs from funding a conference for state officials. #NARUCSUMMER2025.

@NARUC @power_tomorrow Thanks to digging by @EnergyandPolicy, we know that it's funded by utilities. @NARUC takes heat for letting the entities that its members regulate sponsor its events. I don't have an alternative plan for funding these events.

I'm surprised that @NARUC is letting dark money group @power_tomorrow sponsor its annual meeting. Unlike trade orgs that sponsor NARUC, Power4Tomorrow doesn't disclose its membership. According to its IRS filings, it has no employees. It's a black box for pro-utility messages.
Leaders from EEI, @DominionEnergy, @NJBPU, @PPLElectric, @ConEdison, and @RockyMtnInst are discussing strategies to optimize grid value amid rising costs at @NARUC #NARUCSUMMER2025

Just to put a finer point on how unrealistic DOE's alarmist report is, here's a chart from the utility industry showing the sector adds 30 to 50 GW of new generation each year! Storage not included! Yet DOE assumes three straight years of ZERO.
Nice piece that exposes a dumbfounding assumption hidden in DOE's recent report: no new power plants connect after 2026. This impossible constraint renders DOE's report practically useless.

Just encountered some hot takes on the AI Action Plan, so I want to reiterate that the document's 1 page on energy: 1) is not a plan and 2) does not identify any entity that should take any action.
The Administration's "AI Action Plan" has less than 1 page on the power system. It is a mess. Here's what it says --.

The Department of Energy’s unlawful and unreasonable extension of the J.H. Campbell coal plant is an abuse of emergency powers
