"Firm Fixation" is a nice way to describe the errant obsession with meeting facility load with a single power project. Good work from @ericgimon.bsky.social and @energyinnovation.org.
Dodging The Firm Fixation For Data Centers And The Grid • Energy Innovation
We can meet data center electricity demand and build a more affordable, cleaner grid by utilizing clean energy and flexible solutions instead of relying on fossil fuels.

An excellent summary of the past, current, and future prospects for coal in the U.S. from my colleague @michelle-solomon.bsky.social!
🔌💡 #Coal power is increasingly unreliable & expensive. After 100 years, coal is no longer the largest source of #electricity. In 2025, coal composed just 15 percent of U.S. electricity generation.

The U.S. EPA is proposing to repeal GHG tailpipe emission standards, which would would (over 25 yrs):
🫰 Force U.S. households to pay $310B more
📉 Cut the GDP by $710 billion
👷♀️ Cut an average of 110,000 jobs/year
🏥 Cause 17,000 pollution-related premature deaths

Repealing Federal Tailpipe Emissions Standards Would Raise Household Costs, Harm Public Health, And Damage The Economy • Energy Innovation
If the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) eliminates its tailpipe emissions rules as part of repealing the Endangerment Finding, it would cause massive sticker shock-- Americans would be forced to pay $310 billion more, largely due to higher gasoline prices.
