The people elected officials who were supposed to fulfill their word to fully represent and fight for their wants and needs. 2019 must be the year constituent wants are served, or the next rounds of elections will powerfully reject today’s representatives.

72% of Americans now say that global warming is important to them personally, a record shift in public opinion. The majority is right: We need to #ActOnClimate NOW 🌎 https://t.co/zhd2QhOGNX

[Clean Power Research @CleanPowerRes]

As DER adoption grows, @NREL reports that not forecasting DERs is getting costly for #utilities. The answer? New software tools that make bottom's up forecasting a quick, repeatable and cost-effective option. https://t.co/FCV6nliURg @UtilityDive

#Utilities often take on the role of first responders in the event of natural disasters. How are they planning for a more resilient #grid in 2019? Find out in the latest SEPAPower #blog! https://t.co/UZZO2BY1uP

"Utilities have a limited record of success in developing business-to-customer programs. Past efforts to extend their capabilities [...] have been generally seen as distractions at best & outright failures at worst." @SEPAPower https://t.co/5D7oorcK6y

"[This] report should open politicians’ eyes to the potential for a Green New Deal to boost the nation’s economy by creating alternative energy jobs." Check out this study by @RiceUniversity via @HoustonChron. #GreenNewDeal https://t.co/ptZ4igOhSD

"[The] most daunting, transformative & confounding of the changes the power sector is not directly associated with a single tragedy or event [it's the] change in consumer expectations." Safe, reliable & cheap. Great piece by @TanujDeora https://t.co/ksOA89nOu9

A Green New Deal is the way forward, and Texas sees the opportunity. DC can and should be the pinnacle of progressivism and lead the United States and the world by example. https://t.co/EiJFN2ku2n

How should policymakers (grid operators and lawmakers) respond to the retirement of baseload generation in the Nation's organized markets? 30% say market-based products to value/pay grid resources for their reliability & resilience attributes. @GavinBade

There are so many people who need to be thanked for their tireless advocacy on the DC Climate bill.

Chief among them: @camilathorndike, @JamieDeMarco1, @nikhilbalakumar, @keshinil, @MaxBroad, Bekah, Denise Robbins, @rg0lds, @IPLdmv, and so many others.

THANK YOU!

We're enjoying this 2019 trend analysis by @IMGheorghiu over at @UtilityDive. Excellent look at what's to come. #gridmodernization #EnergyStorage #cleanenergy https://t.co/op2oTBMmq4

[Coalition for a Resilient DC @ResilienceDC]

2019 "heightened a national conversation about resilience, brought more natural gas capacity onto the grid than renewable generation for the first time since 2013 and boosted energy storage in wholesale power markets through a historic federal order." @IMGheorghiu @UtilityDive

[Coalition for a Resilient DC @ResilienceDC]

The @councilofdc is showing exemplary progressive movement in climate change, ushering in the clean energy economy to create jobs, government revenue and affordable energy. We expect the same of our federal officials. #AndrewWheeler #EPA

A #GreenNewDeal will have tremendous impacts. It'll create #jobs, generate gov revenue, & kick-off major #infrastructure projects & upgrades. Follow us as we set out on 2nd path of the movement. We've got a lot of info coming your way. #energytransition #cleanenergy @councilofdc

[The DC Line @dclinenews]

In introducing a DC statehood bill last week, @EleanorNorton, @MayorBowser and @ChmnMendelson celebrated the friendlier legislative environment in the House and detailed the “earned resentment” they feel over the disenfranchisement of their constituents. https://t.co/E22oVMZ4YW

[DC Office of the People's Counsel @DCOPC]

Congratulations to @MayorBowser @AGKarlRacine @ChmnMendelson and all members of @councilofdc on your swearing in. Looking forward to continuing to work with you for the benefit of DC utility consumers. #DCProud19

[Mary M. Cheh @marycheh]

It was an honor to be sworn in by The Hon. Craig S. Iscoe today and it was a joy to swear in @Ruth4Schools and our wonderful #Ward3 ANC Commissioners. Thank you to my constituents, neighbors, & friends for your continued support and congratulations to my @councilofdc colleagues!

[Coalition for a Resilient DC @ResilienceDC]

We agree. The recent historic climate bill passage + further legislation to accelerate the clean energy economy, like #DERA, will bring affordability, development and jobs to the District and surrounding metro area. #ClimateAction #CleanEnergyJobs #cleanenergydc

CM McDuffie closes by referencing residents “hiding in the shadows,” who are left out of our current wave of prosperity.: ”I believe that it is my responsibility to protect & defend those residents and help bring them out of the shadows and into the light. I believe that we can”
