@Dogstoyesky @SpencerJCox Now do nuclear.

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@SpencerJCox Governor, if you are for abundance, why did your office endorse Ogden's ordinance to ban housing on most of the city's vacant land parcels?

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@GovCox @eaglemtncity Even as we speculate about new energy technologies that may or may not become feasible in the 2030s, the largest solar farm in Utah is about to come online just 10 miles south of Eagle Mountain.

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@JonSPierpont Then why did the governor's office endorse the ordinance Ogden passed last year making it illegal to build housing on most of the city's vacant properties?

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@ogdencouncil Thank you.

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@ogdencouncil What does the result "extended" mean?

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@AlecStapp 1 is mostly correct. 2 and 3 are misleading because they omit essential context. 4 is local to CA so I won't comment on it. 5 is a lie unless "many, many" means a handful.

@timvandenack Sheesh.

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@EIAgov Thanks. So that means the actual amount of trade across state lines must be at least 10%, perhaps substantially higher.

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@GovCox Anything helps but $25M doesn't seem like much. Just $7 per Utahn.

"The TerraPower project is expected to cost up to $4 billion." https://t.co/a5QTciS390

That's for a 345MW reactor. To double Utah's electricity generation we'd need more than 10 of 'em.

@luke_fernandez @STS_News My clothes dryer is a piece of rope.

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@mattyglesias That's kinda become a mantra here in Utah, especially coming from governor @SpencerJCox. Oddly, though, he and the leg haven't done anything to override local large-lot zoning requirements. Instead they're acting like Democrats, throwing money at the problem.

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@KaiserNorbert1 @energybants And I'm guessing this doesn't include behind-the-meter solar. Is that correct?

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@GovCox @SavageCo1946 Governor, I still don't understand why your office endorsed overreaching new regulations in Ogden to ban apartments in most of the city. Why do you want to stunt development in Ogden?

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@engwithrosie @Protons4B Maybe! Everything I know about geothermal in Japan is from this 2023 article. Apparently (and understandably) lots of opposition from established interests so "movement" may not carry quite the right nuance. https://t.co/CcExz4NQC5

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@engwithrosie @Protons4B There's never really been an anti-geothermal movement.

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@JessePeltan @AukeHoekstra So you're predicting new installations will exceed 1 TW no later than 2027?

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@Sammy_Roth @hereandnow It'd be interesting to get an update on their timeline for completing this project.

[Dan Schroeder @dvs1444]

@JessePeltan What's your projection, Jesse?
