Proposed GHGP “hourly matching” rules could stall corporate clean-energy buying momentum by redefining what counts as clean power.

A critical inflection point for corporate procurement and climate progress.

Great piece from @alexckaufman.bsky.social last week on the Trump administration's nuclear plans.

Glad to be featured in @latitudemedia.bsky.social arguing that, if nuclear developers and utilities do not know how Japan's promised $80 billion will be structured, they cannot prepare their projects:

Filings are in for FERC’s proposed rulemaking on standardizing large-load interconnection. Nearly 200 comments poured in from hyperscalers, utilities, regulators, + reliability authorities.

Core tension: AI’s demand for speed vs. the grid’s need for stability.
