@duncancampbell Not a ranked list, but you should really read California Burning by Katherine Blunt.
Short answer: all of the above plus the fallout from poorly designed deregulation/Enron, and a lengthy history of deferred maintenance to maximize short term profits.

Apparently my viewpoint on the utility risk/reward paradigm lives on. A friend sent me this -- an excerpt from a @GFTribune op-ed I wrote 7 years ago! -- from a conference they're attending today...

@fritz_pierre13 @JesseJenkins @SenWhitehouse @SenatorHeinrich @SenJeffMerkley @USTreasury As Chair of Finance, Wyden likely would stay off a public letter like this as it is often viewed as inappropriate for the chair to weigh in too heavily. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t agree.

Prices of solar cells are down about 60% in 2023 to record lows last week. And prices are expected to set new record lows this month. Disinflation!

This is one of the reasons solar is the lowest cost source of electricity in many parts of the world.

Walkable communities with safe streets and mixed-use buildings aren't expensive because they're elitist—they’re expensive because they're desirable, yet scarce due to zoning, permitting, and parking regulations.

Let’s legalize this traditional style of development again!

In a world getting hotter, more streets need to be built like this real-life example in London: car-free, flanked by housing and shops, with a center-running nature reserve.

There's no question there needs to be more incentives for Texans to support the grid. So we went out and built it: @SunnovaEnergy customers in Texas are live in our VPP program right now, supporting the grid in times of high demand.

What if you could take a polluted corridor and make it an urban forest? Brussels did. (Same spot, 2009 v. 2023)

I love my Bolt, and was so sad when GM announced they were discontinuing it. This is really great news! We DO need more affordable EV models!

[Secretary Jennifer Granholm @SecGranholm]

More affordable electric vehicles staying on the market? Love to see it. 😎⚡

The IEA says priorities to 2030 are:
1. Double energy efficiency
2. Triple renewable capacity

Last week, the COP delegation put both on the table. This is an awesome proposal.

Why is no-one talking about this?
We need to make sure these are agreed at COP..

This!! Too many people believe the US can’t have nice things and Europe does only because it always has. But things can change!

Former freeway in Utrecht on my last visit in 2019 vs. today. You did a good job, Utrecht. 👏

Up and down the Atlantic coast, an increasingly vocal & coordinated movement is spreading baseless claims that offshore wind development is killing whales. In some intrepid reporting, @bstorrow unpacks the truth--and the money--behind these lies:

File yet another chapter under electric is better.
I don’t think anyone goes out on the water wanting to befoul it.
