Today on Volts: hey listen up! The most important election of the year is happening in Georgia next month. Two seats on the (currently all-GOP) Public Service Commission are up & rising electricity prices are on everyone's mind. This is a bellwether for next year's governor & midterm elections!
Pay attention to the most important political race of 2025
With energy affordability set to dominate national politics, Peter Hubbard and Briontรฉ McCorkle explain why a down-ballot Georgia race is ground zero for the fight.

They are taxing wind and solar power. Not just taking away the credits in Bidenโs climate law. But actively taxing wind and solar. My god this bill is terrible. bsky.app/profile/robb...
Well we have the new text from Senate Budget, and we did indeed see the high water mark in the Finance text.
The latest text is much worse: back to placed in service by and of 2027, same onerous and draconian FEOC requirements, NEW excise on tax on wind and solar.

Five years ago, I huddled around mics w/ @jigarshahdc.bsky.social and @cleangridview.bsky.social, trying to make sense of the pandemic. This week on @open-circuit.bsky.social, we revisit our predictionsโsome hilariously wrongโand identify the pandemic's surprising energy winners and losers.
