Romans, 18, v 38-39

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I’d recommend that those utility regulators be very vigilant with regard to wholesale aggregator fraud. There’s been over $130 million in penalties and settlements for aggregator fraud in MISO in just the past 2-3 years.

Third-party demand response provider @voltusinc and @mission_data say utility barriers to accessing smart meter data are blocking gigawatts of grid relief in PJM, the biggest U.S. energy market — and they're asking regulators to step in:

@JaneAFlegal @xiaowang1984 “We spend a lot and get little in return”? You can literally flip a switch almost anywhere in the US and get as much or little electricity as you want 99.9%+ of the time for some of the lowest costs in the world and residents can get it w/o a credit score or redlining.

America’s energy demand is surging, but more than 250 wind projects are currently stalled in the federal review process, threatening investment, job creation, and affordable electricity across the country.

This is fantastic news! I loved my time working as a senior advisor to then Governor @TimPawlenty. Brilliant policy strategist and communicator, his staff would have run through a wall for him. Great choice, Solar Energy Industries Association!

[Solar and Storage Industry @SEIA]

For a progressive perspective on the public utility model rooted in the labor movement you should certainly be following @KevinPranis of LIUNA Minnesota.

[Kevin Pranis @KevinPranis]

@matthewstoller @JaneAFlegal @BloombergME @duncancampbell @Matthuber78 The market was happy to leave everyone it wasn’t profitable to serve in the cold and dark. That’s the literal point of the utility compact but do tell about your plan to fund unprofitable social uses at market rates.
