In honor of next month's EV Reunion (+@SCE Dean Taylor's retirement), and to prove my veteran California EV advocate bonafides, I'd like to share the following embarrassing clip. I miss that hair!

BAAJA blasts through the geothermal-fossil permitting parity gap: For two decades, oil and gas on federal land have had a faster permitting track than geothermal. A new Senate bill includes provisions that would close most of that gap.

Electric car fleets displaced 200 million barrels of crude oil in the six months following the start of the Hormuz energy crisis, saving oil-importing countries $20bn 📉
EVs are a powerful lever for reducing vulnerability to fossil supply disruptions ⚡

New: A new poll finds the most persuasive arguments for a bipartisan Senate permitting deal have little to do with climate policy.
Voters responded most strongly to messages about lowering utility bills and making data centers pay. Climate-focused arguments ranked near bottom.

"The clean energy industry strongly supports this bill. As CEBA's SVP for Policy Nidhi Thakar told members of Congress yesterday, this bill is the biggest step Congress could take for affordability, reliability, and reducing emissions." -CEBA's Vice President of Government Affairs @REnglandDC

News: Clean energy groups briefed House @NewDemCoalition members on the Senate's bipartisan permitting reform bill today. 8 New Dem lawmakers joined the briefing with @USCleanPower, @ACORE, @SEIA, and @CEBAPower

One of the best ways to add nuclear power is to expand our operating plants: 345 MW of uprates at Southern, 433 MW at Vistra, 890 MW from Constellation & Google, & ~2.25 GW of restarts at Palisades, Crane & Duane Arnold. DOE's UPRISE aims for 5 GW by 2029. @GovNuclear @ENERGY ⚛️
.@INL proudly supports the efforts of @GovNuclear's newly launched Utility Power Reactor Incremental Scaling Effort (UPRISE), an initiative focused on accelerating domestic #NuclearEnergy production by maximizing the nation’s existing infrastructure. ⚛️

My take on the new permitting reform bill @ForeignPolicy. It is among the most important policy measures in decades to advance clean energy, meet rising energy needs, and rein in soaring energy prices--and very likely to lead to a net reduction in carbon emissions. When paired with strong climate policy, it is also necessary to allow the rapid buildout of infrastructure needed to drive emissions sharply down. Rejecting it because it may also benefit oil and gas projects would sacrifice a historic opportunity to advance American security, affordability, and clean energy goals simultaneously.

This! 👇👇👇👇
Another good explanation of why it's either this federal permitting reform bill, or nothing until at least 2029, if ever. It's fine to oppose the bill on merits. But let's dispense with the pretense there's some better deal waiting in January 2027. There is not. If you oppose the bill, you support the status quo for the foreseeable future. Defend and own that position.

Statement from CEBA CEO @powellrich on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act:
"This bipartisan package is a generational opportunity to unleash abundant American energy through faster infrastructure permitting and improved transmission planning. Thank you to Chairs @SenCapito and @SenMikeLee, Ranking Members @SenWhitehouse and @SenatorHeinrich, and @POTUS for your leadership on this critical issue.

The biggest risk to the permitting reform bill isn't green groups, it's the utility interests that have helped torpedo every prior deal. Keep an eye on the action here...
How do we know utilities will try to block, weaken or kill transmission reforms Congress is considering now?
They've done it many times before.
Here are examples, mostly from the Southeast, courtesy of Southern, Entergy, and Duke. 1/

Solar developers: "We're ready to build."
Grid: "Please hold. Your call is very important to us. Estimated wait time... 4 to 7 years."

Interested in one or both of cutting-edge energy data visualization tools and federal permitting reform? If so, tune in (link below) at 11 AM Eastern tomorrow to Sustain What with @Revkin for what should be a fun and wide-ranging discussion.

Curious how the modeling assumptions address clean energy builds absent significant Tx capacity additions, plus how a lack of permitting certainty/technology neutrality affects wind and solar deployment. TY 👍🏻
I am seeing a lot of takes from people like @mattyglesias and others on the 400+ page permitting bill. But unlike others, we’re assessing against the reality we live in today, not only the future we want.
🤣 Did the same thing on Monday!
You know it's getting real when I decide it's time to print the Electric Transmission title of #BAAJA and tab it.
We are so back.
