In honor of next month's EV Reunion (+@SCE Dean Taylor's retirement), and to prove my veteran California EV advocate bonafides, I'd like to share the following embarrassing clip. I miss that hair!

It’s not just the #BAAJA transmission planning and paying provisions. Transmission benefits from the proposed procedural reforms to environmental laws too. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
SunZia was proposed in 2006 and came online this year, now carrying power 550 miles to over a million homes in Arizona and California. @voxdotcom on why it took 20 years, and why, with demand climbing fast, the next lines can’t wait that long.

Federal permitting isn’t just a process issue. It’s a deployment constraint.
According to our latest research at Crux, delays tied to federal permitting are the most commonly cited business risk, and they translate directly into higher project costs.
Our new report breaks down how permitting uncertainty is shaping clean energy development.

@ColumbiaUEnergy analysis: transmission gains the most of any project type under the bipartisan Senate permitting bill, with 5+ years cut from federal review for a representative line.
More reliable, affordable power, sooner. Congress should pass it.

Leaders from Democratic and Republican presidential administrations are calling on Congress to pass BAAJA. This bill is the best proposal we’ve ever had to fix our broken permitting system, fight climate change, lower costs, create jobs, and keep data center costs off of our electricity bills. This letter is an encouraging sign. A 🧵

In the last five years, Texas' solar generation has grown 421% and its battery storage capacity is has grown 2,500%
That's saved Texans $3.55 BILLION on electricity bills this summer.

New from me and @ColumbiaUEnergy on permitting reform timelines
I wanted to understand how BAAJA could affect the time spent on permitting/construction for different energy projects compared to the status quo
Can this bill help with timelines? Potentially a lot!

BAAJA would accelerate clean energy deployment. 👇👇👇👇
Today, CEBA joined the @SEIA, @USCleanPower, @ACORE, and @AdvEnergyUnited in a letter to congressional leaders sharing the clean energy industry's strong support for the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA).
"Passing BAAJA is not only the biggest step we can take to improve energy affordability for all Americans, it is also an enormous opportunity for clean energy deployment to reduce emissions from the power sector," CEBA’s Vice President of Government Affairs @REnglandDC said. "Congress should take the deal on the table and pass it this year."

BAAJA: prohibits data centers from charging others for ANY of the extra costs to serve them; requires data centers to pay their share of existing system AND costs of expansion; financial guarantees to mitigate risks of stranded assets; and asserts a role for states to go further.
It would be tone deaf if Congress makes it easier to build data centers right after an election with bipartisan rage against shoving them down the throats of local communities.

Many people I respect oppose BAAJA on its merits, and @michaelgerrard's underlying criticism is a part of those merits.
I don't think "makes it easier to build data centers" is on the merits though.
BAAJA reforms energy permitting, it does nothing for permitting data centers...
It would be tone deaf if Congress makes it easier to build data centers right after an election with bipartisan rage against shoving them down the throats of local communities.

BAAJA blasts through the geothermal-fossil permitting parity gap: For two decades, oil and gas on federal land have had a faster permitting track than geothermal. A new Senate bill includes provisions that would close most of that gap.

New: A new poll finds the most persuasive arguments for a bipartisan Senate permitting deal have little to do with climate policy.
Voters responded most strongly to messages about lowering utility bills and making data centers pay. Climate-focused arguments ranked near bottom.

One of the best ways to add nuclear power is to expand our operating plants: 345 MW of uprates at Southern, 433 MW at Vistra, 890 MW from Constellation & Google, & ~2.25 GW of restarts at Palisades, Crane & Duane Arnold. DOE's UPRISE aims for 5 GW by 2029. @GovNuclear @ENERGY ⚛️
.@INL proudly supports the efforts of @GovNuclear's newly launched Utility Power Reactor Incremental Scaling Effort (UPRISE), an initiative focused on accelerating domestic #NuclearEnergy production by maximizing the nation’s existing infrastructure. ⚛️

My take on the new permitting reform bill @ForeignPolicy. It is among the most important policy measures in decades to advance clean energy, meet rising energy needs, and rein in soaring energy prices--and very likely to lead to a net reduction in carbon emissions. When paired with strong climate policy, it is also necessary to allow the rapid buildout of infrastructure needed to drive emissions sharply down. Rejecting it because it may also benefit oil and gas projects would sacrifice a historic opportunity to advance American security, affordability, and clean energy goals simultaneously.
