⚡ R Street is hiring a Senior Fellow in Energy and Environmental Policy. We’re looking for someone who can contribute serious thinking on electricity markets and communicate that thinking effectively to policymakers, regulators, and broader audiences.
The role includes research, testimony, briefings, writing, and strategy. It is built for someone who can move comfortably between technical detail and public-facing work. If you want to do substantive work with practical impact, take a look.

+1! My fellow Kentuckian @FERChatterjee is right! While current offerings need refining, consumers are poorly served by turning processes back over to monopolies that experience little regulation or oversight. Customer interests, not utility earnings, should dictate outcomes
The competitive solicitation process has challenges and can certainly be improved but throwing the baby out with the bath water as the complainants suggest is counterproductive and not in the interest of consumers

West Virginia has a microgrid law, the White House has a Ratepayer Protection Pledge.
But do they align with what's actually happening at the state's Public Service Commission? Senior Fellow @MichaelGiberso3 takes a closer look in a new @wvgazettemail op-ed.
We’ve been doing a lot of yard work at our house this spring and I noticed this on a bag of top soil today. Hats off to Sims Bark Co. for doing what @TVAnews won’t: putting their HQ in Muscle Shoals AL.
This post is a lot to take in. While I agree "We should be thinking bigger about utility reform," the author's ultimate opinion seems to be based on confusion or misinformation regarding the status quo. A thread 🧵

The TL;DR of @mattyglesias piece this morning is that vertically integrated utilities are good because *hand-waving*
I agree we need to dispense with chintzy electricity proposals that don't help and serve as distractions. But Matt's post doesn't support reregulation. End
