New @NRDC analysis from @NrdcTomr and @claireranglee of the latest @pjminterconnect capacity market auction: if 30% of the queue (~7 GW, almost all clean) had been operational instead of stuck in the queue, clearing prices would have been 63% (!) lower 😮 https://t.co/goO283UDiI

Fossil fuel un-reliability and PJM’s failure to speedily connect new clean resources to the grid are to blame for the 2025/26 auction price spike.

My colleagues ran the numbers to examine the difference between Project 2025's climate and energy provisions and a scenario that meets America's stated 2030 climate goals. The results are stark. (1/5)

What's it mean to get a major solar factory in your backyard? For Dalton, GA, it means that young people can stay in town and start a high-tech career, instead of having to move away after high school. That's great for families, and a bustling downtown

This northwest Georgia community got in early on the national boom in cleantech manufacturing spurred by the climate law, and it's reaping the benefits.

People asking why this is factually incorrect…I’m at a conference today so am pressed for time but I’ll quickly address each of the 5 ā€œkey points.ā€ Bottom line: You can dress up unsupported horseshit in as much polished data viz as you want, but it still stinks.

Key points aren’t actually very key when they are factually incorrect. Good of the @nytopinion to help the mob sharpen their pitchforks for Fauci’s Select Subcommittee hearing by enshrining the lies that he will be attacked with as truth in the paper of record.

This is one of the biggest red flags in our path to decarbonize America: the poor performance of the US wind sector. We need wind to pick up the slack...

It's been a rough few years for wind energy in the U.S. In 2020 and 2021, the U.S. added ~14.5 GW of new capacity. In 2023, the country added 6.5 GW (down 50%+). Considering how important it is that we build a 100% carbon-free grid, this is a huge problem. 🧵

An overlooked federal goal released alongside the Biden administration’s new power plant emissions standards could affect our power grid.

Look how @APIenergy is outright lying about new EPA power plant standards. And take particular note of how they are using hysterical demand projections around data centers to justify new gas. Just horrible people.
