Everyone in energy should be paying attention to the fight over the proposed Dominion Chesterfield gas plant in VA. Regular people do not agree that utilities have an obligation serve data centers at any cost – especially if the cost is illness and higher bills.

VPPs reliably shave peaks. This shows how one did, in California, during a test event this week. That little shaded sliver represents less stress on the grid, electric bill savings, and money going back into peoples' pockets instead of to peaking generation.

Big energy policy question of the decade: Will cost crisis in fact produce a popular swing in favor of clean energy, or a new round of anti-clean revanchism? Current discourse(TM) has me pessimistic- but door's wide open to messaging that presents energy transition as the solution to volatility!
It’s hard to find a trend in the electricity system right now that *doesn’t* point to near-term rate hikes if not a broad affordability crisis. That’s a serious problem for climate policy, but also the American economy writ large. I wrote about it: heatmap.news/politics/ele...
