I work on better utility regulation at The Future of Heat Initiative.

[Mike Bloomberg @BloombergME]

We’ve spent the last decade debating what utilities should build. We forgot to ask whether anyone can actually regulate them.

@JamieFoHI and I on "State Capacity" and rising energy bills.

@ben8128 @NatalieFratto @chartsncrafts @databricks Might even know a sponsor or two

@ben8128 @NatalieFratto @chartsncrafts @databricks Happy to provide a reading list + a few energy historians to boot. DM any time.

@matthewstoller @mattyglesias @liamkerr The most welcoming thing you could do would be a Matt's panel at WelcomeFest.

@berkie1 @BruneElections The Democratic Party in MA is much more tightly run and vindictive than in neighboring NY.

Supporting a challenger to an incumbent is inconceivable. Would benefit from a WFP or other party infrastructure. Though the party’s approval rating js so poor it might just self implode

[Mike Bloomberg @BloombergME]

@adamkovac @revolvingdoorDC @jeffhauser Thank you! Looking forward to reading so I know who’s work to support and donate to.

[Mike Bloomberg @BloombergME]

@berkie1 Wow, big get.

[Mike Bloomberg @BloombergME]

@CtheLala Even the Stoller blog post doesn’t argue against bringing more power online, it’s that we’ve just gone through 20+ years of taking the utility’s word for it (a complete failure by PUCs) and we have little to show for it.

[Mike Bloomberg @BloombergME]

@CtheLala This debate keeps recurring for very dumb reasons. People who know about generation and transmission but not distribution like to handwave the latter away. the people who know about distribution and regulation aren’t spending their time pushing back on more generation.

@MichaelEWebber 2 things make it 1/10th of the price. Either A. No-preexisting infrastructure within ~5 feet of surface. Or B. Doing jointly with water/sewer work. Otherwise the 10x overhead costs are accurate.

@mnolangray Syd Mead’s US Steel work is 👌

@PEWilliams_ @reihan @PEWilliams_ can you share any more info on this commission or link to text?

[Mike Bloomberg @BloombergME]

@stevekerrigan I'm sure Ken is a great guy. But the party's numbers are in toilet. And telling -- "I'm not the problem, you're the problem" at your membership doesn't seem like a winning strategy either.

@arpitrage Astrology already came for the economists.

[Mike Bloomberg @BloombergME]

Travis is a brilliant former regulator who knows his stuff. I don’t know if “this is the way” but I know there’s a lot to learn and think about from reading it.

Out today: My @AmericanAffrs essay trying to reset the often-fever-pitched conversation about data centers & energy, with concrete ideas for how growth can be accelerated and legacy consumers can be protected -->

@YIMBYLAND @data_atx Not a big fan of the naming rights, but targeted project giving for public projects seems like a no-brainer. So and so would like to fund rehab of an classroom at the local school.
