It's an interesting exercise to imagine what effective state capacity to meet the moment would be and then ask: why don't we build that? Trump/Vance/Sacks/Johnson (and Stoller?) excluded it seems like there might even be some bipartisan consensus on this.

Ashley-one point to cover?: if DCHA is paying above market, shouldnt more landlords want to take vouchers, compete for tenants, & push up conditions? That was point of AFFH rule in Obama to increase value of vouchers in rich areas. Clearly opposite is happening. Why?

Totally agree! As sad as I was to see the Expanse end, I think it was the right move

I think it probably does strike a chord for clean energy advocates to see long time ally @JesseJenkins attacked for taking a risk to do the exact thing we have to do to solve climate: figure out how energy users can buy clean rather than fossil.
Jeff Hauser@jeffhauser27 Dec 2025
It apparently strikes a chord--and a coordinated response--when you point out that people who are paid by BigTech to shill for data centers are not reliably neutral on questions central to the AI data center build out.

Disagree with you on this Jeff. As we said constantly about the IRA, decarbonization needs to be government supported but private sector led. Starting companies to scale clean energy is exactly what we had in mind and what we need to address climate

this is just too on point. these guys think that being naughty is enviable. They aren't trying to make your life better, they're valorizing the opposite.

I just gotta say, the amount of freakout about a random NYT op-ed AND the reaction to said op-ed versus the amount of Discourse on cancelling 5 existing energy projects that will raise consumer costs in this "affordability" moment seems... Miscalibrated

Highly recommend taking a run through Travis's thread and thinking hard about the proposal! (I will be)

We at @nrgenergy are big fans of the @ENERGY proposal that could create a more standardized, efficient process to connect large loads to the grid. Today we propose some concrete ideas to make sure it works as intended. 🧵

Also, highly commend the underlying article from former CHIPS team. It mirrors much of my experience on clean energy implementation at DOE and White House.

Generally agree with this from @AlecStapp. But framing only as misguided risk aversion understates how real oversight risk is. We must increase (smart) risk tolerance by government. But also by public/media! Need as much effort recalibrating political consequences of failure.

This is the paradox of "accountability" in government: Policymakers become so obsessed with mitigating oversight/litigation risk, they ignore the ultimate risk of not actually getting anything done.

Making flexibility work: A concrete framework for the DOE large load proposal

The proposal for interconnecting data centers to the grid calls for load flexibility but gives few details. Former FERC Commissioner Allison Clements and Miles Farmer and Sam Walsh of Roselle...

If you don't have time to read our 17 pages on how DOE's recent effort to kick-start a FERC rulemaking can enable flexibility and speed-to-market, how about this op-ed from Roselle's @MilesFarmer and Sam Walsh and @ClementsFERC?

.@Energy’s ANOPR could change the way large energy users (e.g. data centers) connect to the grid. This Policy Brief, by Roselle LLP and @ClementsFERC, working with @NichInstitute, unpacks a promising principle in the ANOPR: interconnection for flexible loads should be expedited.

How DOE’s Proposed Large Load Interconnection Process Could Unlock the Benefits of Load Flexibility

In the United States, the current system for interconnecting large electric loads, like data centers, to the grid has left all sides frustrated. Data center developers are mired in slow interconnec...

If done right, there's potential to drive new supply, enable speed-to-market, and limit ratepayer impacts. But it's complex! FERC launched a lightning-fast comment process. Today @NichInstitute released a brief on what FERC must do to get those benefits.

Recently the Trump Admin kicked off an important new FERC rulemaking process, positing that interconnection of e.g. AI data centers should be regulated at the federal level, and that regulation should encourage flexibility of operation.
