Renewable energy transition, demand increase, extreme weather, oh my! There are so many challenges confronting the "beating heart" of our economy - the electric grid - so we wrote this 101 on the most flexible and capable resource that can help! https://t.co/s7j0gm8ZPR 🧵

Grid-scale battery storage can beat traditional technologies in keeping our electric grid running in the face of rising demand.

I wonder where @Noahpinion got this chart?!
14/China's mastery of batteries is allowing them to electrify their country far faster than anyone else is doing:

Fellow Democrats, The next few weeks will be messy. But let’s follow President Biden’s lead and prioritize the good of our country. Let’s have a positive contest to pick a new ticket and then unite behind them. Everything depends on it.

Absolutely amazing.
It's just after 5 AM in Glendora, CA. Over the next 65-ish hours until my flight back to Boston leaves, I will be attempting to ride every bus system in the LA region!

Is a grid report even real if Claire hasn't reviewed it?
#energytwitter @ENERGY @NREL released their new report in the National Transmission Planning Study series, "Barriers and Opportunities To Realize the System Value of Interregional Transmission." It focuses on existing interregional Tx & is fascinating 🧵

What in Wayner's World even is Order 1920? Now you can just download the fact sheet PDF.
I took this X thread and turned it into an official @RMIElectricity fact sheet! I hope it's useful for those looking for a more detailed Order 1920 explainer. Please let me know if you find errors or pieces that need to be clarified.

What does Order 1920 mean for our nation's largest grid operator? As usual, Claire has done the analysis and provides a great "to-do" list for @pjminterconnect Come for the Order 1920 wonkery, stay for the camping metaphors
#energytwitter Check out my latest blog comparing @FERC Order 1920 to @pjminterconnect's Long-Term Regional Transmission Planning proposal! Read on to learn more about what PJM can do to comply with Order 1920 and get long-term planning rolling ⤵️

How is Electrifying Everything going, I wondered. So let's poll. Electricity makes up about what % of final US Energy Demand?

Amazing Jenny but you forgot to add: "– Didnt want to prove Richard Smalley Correct too soon" https://t.co/yVMysaDwqt
Reasons solar industry analysts don't want to forecast that a terawatt gets built in a year, ever: - axis on chart doesn't go that high - makes wind industry feel bad - can't find markets to put it all in without the number being clearly ridiculous for that specific market

Some early morning O. 1920 musings (warning: coffee hasn't totally kicked in yet)! And I'm not even going to touch the 🌶️🌶️🌶️ concurrence and dissent! Not a full summary - more reflections on things that caught my eye!

For some reason, found this interesting: "Two events in 1920 kicked off the era of change that Americans experienced. On August 18 the Nineteenth Amendment was passed, giving women the right to vote. And on November 2 the first commercially licensed radio broadcast was heard"

🚨Paper Alert🚨 I left NJ a year ago with a question: why does it take so long to build for new clean gen in PJM? The interconnection queue in PJM is key, but I wanted to know how interconnection delays interact with supply chain, siting & permitting and other challenges?

Imagine looking at this photo and thinking “Wow the problem is so much solar” Interesting article but totally almost entirely neglects the massive recent increases in CA battery power. https://t.co/B7qB2Gw6xn

Who would have thought the FF would be busy in the way home. Only one bus heading back. People left behind at Union Station. Folks having to stand for the entire ride back to Boulder. It’s been like this after Rockies games for 10 years. 🤷♂️
