I completely agree with @AcadiaCtr here, “There’s really not evidence that reversing 30 years of power sector restructuring is going to lower costs.” This bill is a really bad idea. I’m heartened to see so many raise concerns and the questions necessary. providencejournal.com/story/…

"New England clearly will need additional energy supplies in the years ahead. Proposals like Project Beacon are welcome developments in signaling investment interest, even with the many hurdles that need to be overcome.” @DSMDolan wbur.org/news/2026/05/19/ene…

Todd Snitchler, @EPSAnews President and CEO, explains in @dcexaminer why you shouldn't trust utilities when they say they can't build generation.
Re-monopolizing the electricity system with guaranteed returns on generation benefits the utility, while shifting risks onto the backs of consumers.

State climate mandates are running against a brutal current between federal opposition, higher financing rates, supply chain delays, and rising inflation. In the meantime, the in the ground generation is working overtime to keep up with rising demand and affordability pressures.

As I said on @ezraklein show, every time there’s an oil crisis, those concerned with climate and clean energy say “this is why we need to use renewables instead.” nytimes.com/2026/03/24/opini…

One month in to the war, some people are ready to call it. This energy shock will accelerate the world to a cleaner, more electrified future.
“Electrification will be seen as the shock absorber.” nytimes.com/2026/04/01/opini…

Energy affordability is the phrase of the moment and I enjoyed getting to unpack what that means on Climate Reveal. We did a deep dive on New England’s energy profile and the tricky spots for addressing these issues down the road. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Key paragraph. Policy makers grabbed the steering wheel a decade ago and now, realizing they aren’t where they wanted to be, wonder why the market failed (and want to use the market failure narrative to justify more control over the steering wheel).

To face this moment requires political leadership to bridge the growing gap between state/federal policies, improved markets, and a renewed focus on a holistic energy mix that does not simply focus on the "new" at the expense of the existing workhorses. nepga.org/closing-the-gap-wh…

The most common question I get these days is, why aren’t there more plants under construction in New England? Why all the announcements in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, etc, but nothing here? Here’s one explanation.

Winter Storm Fern & its cold aftermath was no joke in New England. Yet, extraordinary coordination occurred across industry and all levels of government. New England’s electricity market also did what it needed to do. I looked back in @UtilityDive utilitydive.com/news/cold-ne…

The New England grid passed one winter test, but market reforms are still needed
Constructive collaboration should be celebrated while the region works to fine-tune its market to drive and sustain investments, writes NEPGA President Dan Dolan.

"This system works and works well. We did not have any reliability events despite arctic temperature and the coldest winter in nearly 10 years across New England." @NEPowerGen's @DSMDolan shared insights in the @hartfordcourant on how the region's power grid weathered Winter Storm Fern.

What really kept CT warm during the deep freeze. It’s a stress test for state, regional power grids. trib.al/lufdSMz

New piece attempting to synthesize the past few weeks across media, market structure, geopolitical trust, and lessons from history, asking... can you run the world like a reality TV show?
What does it look like to exit the Great Moderation, a 40-year period of macroeconomic stability? Are we in the Great Entertainment? What does that mean for the bond market, the Fed, Japan, and AI hype vs. energy reality?
