The duck curve was just the beginning. Now my calculations (pictured below) show it is the Snail Curve.

Truly shocking reveal by Commissioner Beverly of the DC Public Service Commission: an analysis of pipe replacement shows the cost has ballooned to $19 million per mile.

These methane pipes aren’t just explosion risks, they’re financial risks we can’t afford. 🔌💡

Also Nat Bullard’s report (Shayle Kann had an interview with him about it I believe) has some LNG tidbits.

US ratepayers are in for a wild ride. The pink line is about to join all the other lines at much higher prices.

I love this. It's similar to how we created our Pace of Progress report here at @rewiringamerica.bsky.social, which includes not just EVs, but also heat pumps, water heaters, stoves, and solar. www.rewiringamerica.org/pace 🔌💡

Hugely proud of the @rewiringamerica.bsky.social team for the launch of our new state and local incentive calculator.

Rhode Island is the first state to include state and utility incentives, which residents can stack with the federal incentives in the IRA.

More states coming soon!

Look at how soft costs distort the residential solar market. If you take out everything above Logistics the price of residential solar cuts in half from $3.45 / Watt to ~$1.70 per Watt.

Taken separately, Overhead & margin and Customer acquisition are EACH more expensive than the actual modules. 🔌💡

I wouldn’t call PJM massive. It’s a sunny day here and we’re a bit over 2% while ERCOT is over 22%.
