Can I just say, @energyinnovation.org has the best communications and editorial team in the business. @silviomarcacci.bsky.social and @shannonstirone.bsky.social worked wonders turning my wonky ass prose into understandable, compelling narrative to make this piece shine.
The "Big Beautiful Bill" will spike consumer bills, cost America jobs, and threaten power supply shortfalls.
But smart states are moving quickly to accelerate deployment before tax credits go away.
Psyched to work with @oboylemm.bsky.social on this NYT column.

With clean energy tax credits rapidly expiring, states need to be more creative than ever to maximize these savings for consumers. That's why former Gov. Bill Ritter and I wrote this piece for @nytimes.com urging states speed up procurement of wind and solar energy www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/o...

California could move quickly to enable 23 GW of renewables near existing thermal generators, in time for the projects to qualify for tax credits before they expire, says a think tank policy director. Quoted in my latest story for PV Magazine USA is an LA Times opinion piece by @oboylemm.bsky.social

thanks @latimes.com for sharing my perspective on the opportunity for California to pull forward clean energy procurement and qualify for rapidly expiring federal tax credits. I hope other states can similarly act quickly to pull forward these savings. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... #energysky
Contributor: How California can cash in on federal incentives for green power before they disappear
Our state's leaders need to think strategically and act immediately. Capitalizing on existing infrastructure will be key.

About 90% of the 190GW of planned capacity through 2028 is clean resources, mostly solar (109GW) and batteries (62 GW), according to EIA data. 24 GW of new gas and 20 GW of onshore wind fill out most of the rest. #energysky www.datawrapper.de/_/LlpnI/
