While there’s no shortage of important longer-term policy reform needs to address rising electricity costs, there are several policies states can implement now to drive cost savings more quickly. Here are 4 ideas that Lori Bird and I outlined in a new @UtilityDive piece:

[Jesse D. Jenkins @JesseJenkins]

.@Microsoft today unveiled a new AI infrastructure "plan" (really more of a statement of principles) designed to put "community first." A key part of their commitment: to work with utilities to bring new electricity supply to meet their needs (bring your own generation) and pay the full costs (eg via large load tariffs). This is the way.

[Jeff Dennis @EnergyLawJeff]

Today, @Microsoft announced a “Community-First AI Infrastructure” plan. It’s the most comprehensive effort to address rising concerns about the impact of data centers on electricity costs and local communities I've seen to date. 🧵 1/ https://t.co/r29TrIwsIv

[Satya Nadella @satyanadella]

As we continue to expand our AI infrastructure, we’re committed to being a good neighbor in the communities where we build and operate our datacenters.

Today we’re sharing new steps we’ll take to partner with local communities across the U.S. https://t.co/xuAjAay3ou

Today, @Breakthrough released our annual State of the Transition report!

And, since there is no transition without transmission we decided it deserved its own spotlight.

We also make our position on load growth clear—it’s good, ENERGY IS PROSPERITY!

get your bounces in while you can, folks

[Andy Flick @andyflick]

The thing about Donald Trump hating Taylor Swift is @KamalaHarris wants to build 3 million new homes, lower your taxes, and restore reproductive freedom.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

A courageous and selfless decision. The President did what he’s done for the last four years - he listened to the American people and put the country’s interests ahead of his own.

The exact opposite of Donald Trump.

[Bill Gates @BillGates]

I’ve been waiting for this day for nearly 20 years: Today, we broke ground on the first-ever Natrium plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming. This next-generation nuclear power plant is a big step towards safe, abundant, zero-carbon energy. https://t.co/OxMYdU5o4R

BIG NEWS: I’m running for @SFBART! Join our campaign to make BART safe, clean, & reliable!

[Secretary Jennifer Granholm @SecGranholm]

Today, I announced $331 million to build a new, robust 285-mile transmission line in the West.

Powered by @POTUS’ Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, this line will bring 2,000+ MW of needed capacity from sources like wind energy from Idaho down to Nevada.

Our department just issued rules to protect people from hidden airline fees and to require airlines to give passengers automatic cash refunds when owed. No more having to fend for yourself and jump through hoops to get your money back—airlines will have to automatically do this.
