Seeing a lot of people RT this to dunk on data center skeptics without engaging with the part that says "We caution that future supply constraints could reverse the effect."

The solution isn't just to build out supply, it's also to build out demand strategically and efficiently.

This and recent layoff at Boston Metals are extremely worrying. In a few short years the US built up a huge stable of transformative industrial decarbonization startups, and it risks losing them and the future they represent to other countries or oblivion.

Cool to see @powerlinesorg debut on broadcast TV on @CBS:

Thanks @CBSNews for highlighting our report on 2025 utility rate increases, which have increased 2.5x over the same time period last year.

This issue is becoming mainstream, and it’s not going away.

Thanks to @SPGlobal for reporting on our @powerlinesorg Q2 2025 report showing $29 billion in utility rate increase requests in the first half of 2025 already sets a record 👇

We are facing an unprecedented crisis of rising utility bills — and state public utilities commissions (#PUCs) have the power to determine them. Check out new work we are unveiling today at @powerlinesorg to tackle this issue. 👇

https://t.co/pvcabXwceS When it comes to industrial policy, one question we need to be asking ourselves is: how can we ensure industrial policies advance principles of industrial democracy?

[Garphil Julien @GarphilJ]

New financing models that encourage not only employee ownership but also participatory decision making as well as efforts to prevent the roll ups and shutdowns of these firms is pivotal for any sort of industrial policy in the U.S. to be successful.

NEW: Our transportation policy analyst Arnav Rao explains why "Trump’s Panama Canal plan is another loser for America’s maritime industry" in a new op-ed in @TheHillOpinion

Hint: The US should instead be focused jump-starting shipbuilding capacity.

The Trump administration so far hasn’t offered a viable plan for the American steel industry and their lack of commitment to decarbonization of heavy industries risks making this problem much worse. I write about this in the Corner

[Garphil Julien @GarphilJ]

The reasons for Nippon Steel’s attempted acquisition of U.S. Steel reflect the broader issues ailing the American steel industry. These issues include the lack of demand from steel consuming industries and lack of investment into more sustainable steelmaking processes.
