“The tremendous achievement we’ve seen here in Texas didn’t happen by accident. It happened because the market was allowed to work.” — @WYOHensley ACP’s latest market report shows what’s possible when policy enables investment, innovation, and speed to power. As electricity demand accelerates, the Texas model offers lessons for the rest of the country. #Energy #Texas #GridReliability #DataCenters #AI #CLEANPOWER26

Great opening session at #CLEANPOWER26. Good insights from ACP’s John Hensley, “The fork in the road isn’t about the coming demand, it’s coming. It’s going to be massive.” @WYOHensley @USCleanPower Q1 2026 market report reinforces what utilities, developers, and large energy users are already seeing; electricity demand is rapidly accelerating, driven by AI, data centers, manufacturing, and electrification. The question isn’t whether we need more power. It’s whether policy will allow the resources the market has already chosen to be built fast enough to deliver it affordably and reliably.

False claims alert: The president just said at a WH event that China makes all wind turbines for the U.S. & Europe. In fact, in the U.S. the vast majority are built with U.S. components, and American factories power hundreds of thousands of jobs. 🌬️🇺🇸 #WindEnergy #FactCheck

News today from From Calibrant Energy showing how battery storage can help provide a solution to the growth in data centers without straining the grid. NJ data center already equipped with solar is now adding on-site energy storage. solarpowerworldonline.com/20…

Further evidence and data that #offshorewind is a reliable and dependable energy source. @OrstedUS South Fork wind farm produced energy on 99% of all days in 2025. #IPF26

ONE MORE TIME FOR THE WARRIORS.

U.S. rig count down one rig from last week. Down 37 rigs from last year under the Biden administration.

Lamberth said he was concerned by recent media statements from @DougBurgum criticizing offshore wind for a variety of reasons other than national security. Lamberth said, “the December 22 stop work order is arbitrary and capricious.”

Judge Lamberth said DOI and BOEM failed to provide reasoning to Revolution Wind. Revolution Wind had US experts with top secret clearances including retired vice admiral but information was never provided to them.

Baker Hughes rig count shows another drop in U.S rigs. Down 40 rigs from when Biden was President a year ago. Drill into the facts when discussing energy issues rather than catchy slogans.

Good to know that the hundreds of offshore wind turbines off the United Kingdom didn’t disrupt NORAD’s Santa tracking capability.

Today’s Gulf oil & gas lease sale by @BOEM brought in $279 million — modest compared to the $4.37 billion raised in the New York Bight offshore wind auction in 2022. More than a 15x difference in federal revenue. What a difference three years makes. doi.gov/pressreleases/energy…

New Grid Strategies report quantifies costs of delaying needed transmission to consumers & economy: 📉For every $1B investment in large-scale transmission that is delayed, it costs consumers ~$150M to $370M in lost net benefits for each year of delay. ➡️wiresgroup.com/delaying-tran…

I covered DOJ for over 10 years as a reporter. The Comey indictment is flimsy at best. So unusual to see a note from the grand jury foreperson noting that, “12 or more grand jurors did not concur in finding an indictment” relating to count 1.

Beautiful Evensong service tonight at the National Cathedral with a special prayer remembering the victims of the September 11 attacks.
