@JavierBlas Will be interesting to see how this unfolds. I’ve been doing work on batteries and lithium for several years now and that is certainly one area where this type of policy could come into play.

[Mike Plante @mpcanuck]

@JavierBlas Seems like that would be more palatable for policymakers than a government funded price floor since it would raise revenue. But would raise input costs down the supply chain. Seems like that would require ringfencing other parts of the chain that compete with China.

Texas is now the top state for utility-scale solar power generation capacity. However, developers face a changing operating environment, one lacking strong federal policy support but also featuring cost-boosting tariffs on imported solar cells and modules. https://t.co/P4glVfBqLm

@JavierBlas Haha I may have to send you one for Christmas so you can see what you are missing out on

@JigarShahDC I live in Texas so I only really know about ERCOT, where adding capacity, at least, doesn’t seem to be an issue.

[Mike Plante @mpcanuck]

@JigarShahDC Is there a commonly accepted reason for why PJM has had trouble adding capacity the past few years?

[Mike Plante @mpcanuck]

Merry Christmas everyone!
