MISO's Board approved a historic regional transmission portfolio:
"MISO's process is entirely replicable & grid operators can incorporate their own regional needs into planning process updates required under a recent federal directive." -@TedThomasENRGZ

A 1,070-MW coal plant, once slated for retirement by 2023 and now the #9 largest GHG polluter in Indiana, appears to be on the verge of executing a long-term agreement to sell a majority of its energy and capacity to an unnamed data center developer.

A Michigan utility buys power from 1950s-era coal plants whose largest owner happens to be its parent company.
It's a bad deal for the power company's customers, consumer watchdogs and enviro groups say.

Private jet trips. Massages. Professional sport games. Not the perks of being a millionaire, but instead an executive or staff member at some of the top utilities across the country. And customers are paying the price. New report from EPI: energyandpolicy.org/report-u…

If you want to call me a lefty for thinking my community deserves to drink clean water, go ahead.
If you want to say I'm a progressive for saying polluters should pay to clean up their mess, feel free.
I don't give a sh*t about labels. I care about delivering for my constituents and my community.

I called on the CEO of our billion-dollar utility monopoly to resign, and we forced them to pay back customers over $60M.
I went after the Wall Street speculators driving up the price of housing.
I built a coalition to push my bill to stop Big Pharma from ripping off families.

I put affordability front and center every day. Most importantly, I told folks exactly who it was that was ripping them off, and I grounded it locally.
It's the billionaires and big corporations making record-breaking profits while the rest of us struggle.

It was a privilege to talk about how we can stop the insanity and save people millions of dollars all while reducing GHG emissions!
By far the coolest morning I’ve had with Horizon Climate Initiative yet: stellar, packed discussion with @electronecon @jillmtauber @JDSPowerPoints @All4Energy spotlighting uneconomic coal operations creating excess costs for captive utility customers. #ClimateWeekNYC

You all seem to misunderstand that September is still a summer month.
September is not pumpkin spice season.
September is wearing a cream colored sweater while sailing on a sunny day. It’s pairing an expertly roasted chicken with a glass of Sancerre.
