So renewables *address* our energy needs but coal *advances* our needs? 🤔 #EnergySky

This gov't shutdown could be longest ever. Rs don't want to release Epstein files; Ds just saw the SCOTUS ruling on impounding and now can't trust passed budgets to be honored. Compromise will be extremely difficult.

Buckle up, things might get crazy in coming weeks.

ISO-NE needs to find an add'l 13,000 GWh in the next 9 years. (p. 11 www.iso-ne.com/static-asset...).

This 80%-complete wind project was scheduled to turn on in '26 & is estimated to provide over 2,500 GWh. Replacing this lost power will not be easy (or cheap). www.utilitydive.com/news/connect...
