What's going on with rooftop solar? It is in a bad place in the US, with persistent high costs, utility attacks, and a lack of coherent vision. @JesseJenkins recently asked about rooftop costs which got me thinking - we need to radically retool our rooftop solar industry. 🧵
👏
Recently @johnffarrell had a great thread on not needing any new transmission. A lot of folks found it really interesting, so I thought I'd offer a friendly academic rebuttal: YES WE NEED MORE TRANSMISSION (thread)
This is awesome! There would be no carbon-free generation in this proceeding without @isabel_ricker’s work.
On Monday, the @MN_PUC received bids for 1,000s of megawatts of clean energy generation competing to provide "firm dispatchable" power to Xcel Energy! We love seeing how much development activity and clean energy innovation there is in the Midwest.

After a few days at NARUC and talking with a number of our state regulators, I've got observations....
First, our regulators are by in large, highly dedicated. Hearings that last 14 hrs, complicated acronyms, difficult decisions. It's hard work that isn't glorious.

Did the #MNTwins win back-to-back games at Yankee Stadium?
So cool to see @FreshEnergy advocacy implemented and making a difference! Kudos to @BenPasser's work bringing specific low-income elements to solar*rewards and @MN_CEF leadership.

I teach an elementary and high school guest lecture on energy choices. I focus on the duck curve and what we might do to supply clean firm power at night. Then I give the kids choices about different mixes of technologies to solve the problem. Enhanced geothermal wins every time.
We at @fervoenergy 🫶 NEPA. Yesterday we received a FONSI for exploration drilling at our Cape project in southwest Utah. To a gigawatt and beyond! blm.gov/press-release/blm-an…

Universal school meals means every student is fed and no child has to worry about the stigma of food insecurity. I love this bill that helps feed our kids – let’s get it done.
