Despite significant federal headwinds, US renewables just had a record year. Notably, 93% of new generation capacity expected to be added to the US grid this year is projected to come from wind, solar and batteries. https://t.co/XSZdvMLYWX
For his next move, Trump should create a muscular Transmission Resilience & U.S. Modernization Program (TRUMP) to plan, finance and then solicit competitive bids to build out the Trump Interstate Electricity System (high voltage backbone grid for resilience & industrial...
It's also the correct one. "American Energy Dominance" can't ignore one of the cheapest and fastest growing sources of American energy.
CHART OF THE DAY: The cost of European CO2 allowances has fallen ~20% in recent days after several key countries asked Brussels for a reform. Italy has gone as far as asking the Emissions Trading Syste to be suspended. CO2...

You missed my point @simonnextclick Massive battery spending doesn’t erase grid physics. Batteries add more complexity to grid constraints & more cost to renewables that are already uneconomic at scale.
