A top energy regulator said Big Tech has made "a lot of mistakes" that helped create the public backlash against their data centers. It's "kind of a self-inflicted wound," FERC commissioner David LaCerte told our @SiegelScribe on the Politico Energy Podcast. 🎧 politi.co/4vrO1NX

Interior @SecretaryBurgum called wind power "not that reliable, because when the wind's not blowing on a cold day, we still need everything else." “There's nothing renewable about a wind tower,” he told our @jmart at the POLITICO Pub at #CERAWeek.

Electricity prices are rising nationwide, and the issue has quickly become bipartisan, with both parties thinking about how to respond. BPC’s EVP of Energy David Hill recently talked to @Politico’s @debra_kahn about why rising prices are a key concern and the renewed focus on reliability and affordability: ”[P]ower flows according to the laws of physics, not according to the laws of politics or economics.”
