Yes, the new federal clean energy incentives will require large-scale utility infrastructure changes. Any guesses on how this will impact customers' wallets? Any idea how long this process might take? I have my opinions, what are y…https://t.co/ciBHhSenRO https://t.co/0Psrl5z0BY

How about a national electric grid? Great for resiliency and the climate, unfortunately, this probably won’t happen. Regardless, it would be great to improve reliability of the country’s energy grid and in making huge strides in pr…https://t.co/IMsrWlcHQa https://t.co/F7o7cQ3X0d
