This is such an authoritative and sharp piece on the EPA's new power plant rules from @jeffsaintjohn

Every state has room to improve on promoting community ownership of clean energy. Out of the 50 states D.C., none received an A. Only one—Illinois—got a B. Just over half of states received a failing grade of F 🙃 @MariaVirginiaO w the Chart of the Week!
