The #CleanPower industry is helping to rebuild the U.S. #economy while combating the climate crisis. From good-paying jobs to providing extra sources income, wind, solar and battery storage brings unmatched economic opportunity to communities across America. #CleanPowerAnnual

#Texas took an early lead in #energy transition. It’s an energy state, and knows how to lead. We’re -#1 in oil and gas. Also in wind/solar, #EnergyStorage, and soon #hydrogen. $73 billion invested - all at risk. A politically expedient retrograde agenda coukd sacrifice it all.

Newly *made public* @ideasmithsLLC (funded by @APowerAlliance) report on the need for new transmission in ERCOT to realize the most cost-optimal grid of the future! Least-cost optimal expansion of the ERCOT grid Check it out: ideasmiths.net/reports-publi…

Every MWh of electricity produced by #windpower/#solar means cleaner and cheaper power for consumers. At this moment on a hot Texas afternoon, 25%+ of our power is coming from #renewables. Saving your bill, your environment, your health. You’ll never hear it on the news.

The jobs of the energy future aren’t going to be “chill, normal” jobs. Hang on. Post your resume at USEnergyJobs.com. #Oil #Work #EnergyJobs #NaturalGas #Electrical #Renewables #Windpower #SolarPower #Welding #Jobs #OilPatch #Employment

Very happy to have this published in @TheHill, along with our friends at the Interstate Natural Gas Association. We do best when we leverage all of our #Texas #energy resources together. “Cleaner, Cheaper, Made in Texas.” #TXLege thehill.com/opinion/energy-e…

Researching #TXLege proposals to change the ancillary services market solely to harm #renewables (and investors, and consumers, and rural communities and schools)? Bad language in SB1278, HB4466, Sec. 13 of SB3. Panos’ analysis of why the proposals are flawed is superb.
🧵From a technology perspective this must be the most dubious & unfair means to handle the volatility of #renewables, i.e. #wind & #photovoltaics (PV) in an #electrical #grid & #restructured #electricity #market❗️ #energytwitter #energy -1/n

If you’re developing, investing in, or using power from the $60 billion of #renewables projects in #Texas, you need to watch #TXLege SB1278, HB4466, and in SB3. Discriminatory fees proposed for renewables that will crush project economics, hurt customers and communities. cc:

“54 hours w/out power, I share my fellow Texans’ frustration and misery. Equally frustrating are the miserable profiteers denying the data, twisting this crisis to attack #renewables. I am pleased #TXLege will have hearings. Public will get the truth.” houstonchronicle.com/busines…

An emerging part of the story as we analyze the #TexasBlackout that we’re living through together will be the shortcomings of our #energy #infrastructure. We need to move electricity, and we need to move fuels. Here’s our piece from recently. #txenergy mrt.com/opinion/article/Opin…

SPP set a new #wind peak record of 19,692 MW at 5:25 p.m., Dec. 23. This surpasses the previous record of 19,371 MW set Dec. 22, 2020. The historical renewable total was 20,934 MW. #energytwitter

Fifteen years of fuel mixes in @ERCOT_ISO show 2020 as the year that wind finally overtook coal and solar generated enough energy to get its own color on the chart!
