I believe in the butterfly effect, summer evenings in Virginia, fair rates of return and keeping water out of my bourbon. Proud dad.

I've saw the first movie and it sucked. No way I'm gonna watch the sequel...

[Albert Pollard @AlbertPollard]

@pod_virginia In 1796 a Virginia elector voted for John Adams (as opposed to Jefferson). Rumor is he was upset of the impact of Jefferson's "yeoman farmer" shtick on the Silver Line to Dulles...

@gmoomaw FYI, a quick glance at the report is realistic. Good work, more to be done. "In 2024, while engaging with the Directors and their teams, we saw notable improvement in engagement, willingness to cooperate, and general morale."

You want a scary costume? Try a big head carp or invasive hydrilla

@ChazNuttycombe One of the things I like about your analysis is that you are willing to put it out there (like your "feels like 2012 vibe")... kudos for being willing to be wrong.

@svkenney Frank Ruff was a good and decent man, may he rest in peace.

@TKavulla PJM calls their auctions and construct "the free market"??? No, its a cauldron of self dealing...

@ChazNuttycombe Where the hell is "Fairfax"... never heard of it.

@brennanmgilmore @capitalweather Beautiful. Smith Point?

@ChazNuttycombe Keep the faith, stick with it and soon-ish the doubters and pundits will understand the importance of what you do... it will always be a niche but in a couple of years you will make that niche considerable larger.

If someone in Australia cuts down a tree on public land to improve the view from their house, the local government will install a sign to block that view again

Also, I asked Virginia Speaker of the House @DonScott757 about liberal patriotism, and he had quite the response.

A wee bit more demand response sure would be nice to have in the back pocket I assume...

[PJM Interconnection @pjminterconnect]

PJM has issued a Maximum Generation Alert and Load Management Alert for Aug. 27 ahead of expected hot weather across many parts of the Eastern Interconnection, including the region PJM serves, to ensure the reliable delivery of electricity to its customers across 13 states and the District of Columbia. No customer actions are required. https://t.co/feC6OP3Ylo

@amn3siak I assume the waiter (transmission) was delayed and then had to deliver to the high demand table through the rear of the restaurant and back through the front door due to wait staff regulations that help throttle competing wait staff... under rated tweet btw.

fascinating post...

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

The new Republican platform is a troubling shift in our party. It removed years of pro-life language, made no mention of the national debt, advocated for massive taxes, and abandoned commitments to allies around the world.

Conservatives must speak the truth.

[Albert Pollard @AlbertPollard]

@CPaullinVA @MercuryVirginia Good article and explainer. Don't let the generators/transmission folks forget that demand response is also an under utilized way to create space on the transmission lines and lower the price...

[James Hewett @JamesHewettDC]

if only PJM had a way to bring capacity from other locations to solve the price issue
