Well lookie here! For years, people have been saying that utilities should take the lead on distributed energy -- actually procure it, deliberately, where on the grid it is needed. Now Excel Energy in Minnesota is about to actually do it! Will 200 MW of distributed batteries.

Hey @governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social let me know! I’ve called and left a message, sent you a few emails.

There’s really no point in supporting Prop 50 and caring about the make up of the House of Reps if we don’t pass bills like SB79. If you care about House Seats, pass SB79.
Hey @governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social when are you going to sign SB79?

We appreciate the role of lead opposition that you’ve stepped into but please don’t forget to keep things moving in the right direction at home!

The US military was a *very* early adopter of climate adaptation for a reason: they rightly recognized it as a threat multiplier for national security.

To put this in language that Gavin Newsom can understand: either he can snatch away two Congressional seats from Texas and Florida Republicans to dangle in front of various factions of the CA Dems with a stroke of a pen, or he can choose not to do that and lose two of his closest allies in Congress.
A bunch of toxic LA NIMBYs are whining about SB 79, the amazing housing bill the CA legislature passed recently.

It's on the governor's desk, and reportedly he's getting cold feet. Hey @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, please have some spine on the most important issue in your state. Just sign it.

Want to reduce electricity bills 20% by 2030?

Release the data! We have over 37GW of batteries, water heaters, etc that can participate in demand flexibilty. But without data access they can't bid into the PJM/MISO capacity auction to bring down costs.
Smart meters were all the rage in 2009 (aka Advanced Metering Infrastructure, AMI) and even then most of us knew they were unlikely to bring any real benefits for residential customers. Little did we know that Utilities using rickety Oracle and SAP systems would create a crisis. 🧵

This whole incident is revealing a real crisis of trust in the FBI, it's hard to imagine how the FBI restores any credibility in the Trump administration, but that's what happens when you turn the entire government and related institutions into forums for loyalty tests and persecution.

One in five Californians spend more than half their income on housing.

Not having enough homes to buy or rent creates cutthroat competition and drives up prices.

The solution is to allow a mix of homes of all sizes and prices, including apartments near transit, which would be allowed under SB 79.
Huge housing costs are stressing out California
California has 1.6 million extremely burdened renters and 1.1 million financially stressed owners.

6. Everywhere you look people are behaving in seemingly insane ways -- darting out into bike lanes, making blind left turns, veering through traffic, jaywalking while looking at a phone -- and yet somehow, when you pull back & view it from a distance, it all works. Cities, man.

7. The most banal thing you can say about NYC, but so true: the diversity -- of races, ethnicities, hair & dress, attitude, gender presentation, behavior -- is just spectacular. I guess this is precisely what scares conservatives about cities, but it fills me with energy & life. Cities, man!

The next Dem president needs to end this nonsense ASAP. Expand the bench and term limits
In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trump’s immunity appeal.

The court rejected that request and didn’t issue its immunity decision until July 2024.

Trump’s federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.
Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it.

It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019.

This is the *23rd* such grant since then.
