Utilities killing solar, very obvious

This is a good podcast, well produced, as they have utility money. The interviewer is very good, and I appreciate the content, but trying to paint the utilities as some kind of saviors is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone who’s involved with utilities for more than a few weeks understands the rampant corruption. Case in point: one Arizona regulator is a former lobbyist for the gas industry, and Arizona is 56% fossil gas, 10% coal and a sad 10% Solar. No worries, though, they will be losing a lot of water in the next 5 to 10 years, and all those thermal power plants run on water. I could write reports on the corruption, and indeed I have. Let me know if you want any and I can send them to you. Don’t forget to check the Energy and policy Institute, they are the experts on Utility corruption.

Good stories about the energy transition

These are really well-produced stories about many of the trends that are shaping the electric grid. It’s a very complicated topic told in a digestible narrative format. Good stuff.
