Just read an excellent substack by @charlesxjyang.bsky.social on the lack of federal action on addressing the transformer (and other HV equipment) shortage. Agree with his suggestions, but they aren't at the scale needed to get more manufacturing plants (plural) built in North America. 1/2 🔌💡

This paper is both enlightening and rigorous. I really enjoyed its high level discussion of the infrastructure of power and agency in a world in which private authority over money trumps public authority.

@jaredb-econ.bsky.social I hope you'll post your critique of @jasonfurman.bsky.social 's Foreign Affairs article here as well as on X. Looking forward to it - there's been too little substantive hindsight analysis.

Congrats to @tnorris.bsky.social and the Nicholas Institute for a highly-needed report on demand flexibility, focusing on data center loads. The discussion of how AI-driven loads can be flexible on p 11-14 is very important - many readers of Grid Strategies' reports on load growth asked about this!

I wrote this NASA page about wildfires and climate change, and I'm so excited it's finally live. It's a tireless effort to get big pages published at NASA - as it should be! How long will it remain up? Who knows. Check it out while you still can. 🧪 #climatesky science.nasa.gov/wildfires-an...

For the past 18 months, the Anti-Defamation League has been calling out people who criticise Israel, accusing them of antisemitism. Yet they're willing to give Elon Musk the benefit of the doubt over his nazi salute. That's not 'a bit of grace'. that's a revealing double-standard

Reading discovery responses by a contentious utility that doesn't want to answer much of anything, which is putting me to sleep. This woke me up: 🔌💡

NERC's 2024 Long-Term Reliability Assessment is out, and has a lot of interesting findings. Concerns about reliability due to limited import capacity, demand growth, and generator retirements are elevating reliability risk across much of North America. 💡🔌🧵1/3

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

@adambonica.bsky.social great post on D party fundraising. You should post your thoughts here for reaction. Campaign engagement is so dispiriting.

Another report from Grid Strategies finds that electric load growth is upon us & 5-year forecasts are all going up, up, up. This is a national security & economic competitiveness issue. Electricity is the currency of the 21st century. gridstrategiesllc.com/wp-content/u...

If you haven't read the report, just 25 minutes and you'll have the story! Hermann, thanks for having me on!
