like early twitter i guess -- random, absurd snapshots of our lives? or maybe just being more honest about utility capture & the profit motive in our work?
bold of u to assume that that was a conscious choice and not just incompetence on my part lol
what do you think @brendan.bsky.social ?
Just cross-posted a big professional thread from the birdsite. It begs the question -- do I want this to be the same as the birdsite? Or do I want the birdsite to be more like linkedin and here to be more unhinged...
6/6 The IRA's impact relies on a whole bunch of people in a whole bunch of roles to push the utilities & others responsible to plan for a cost-effective, low-low-carbon future. PHIRA is here to help you do just that. rmi.org/insight/plan.... Reach out if you want to talk.
A toolkit for public utility commissions to ensure that utility resource plans optimize the Inflation Reduction Act to benefit ratepayers.
5/6 This report is a toolkit -- if you really want to dig in, we've got appendices in the back that a) give you specific questions you can use to understand how well resource plans are using the IRA and b) help you understand the specifics of IRA provisions:
4/6 In PHIRA, we set out what we're calling "North Stars" for how utility plans can take advantage of the IRA, plus actions that regulators can take to make sure that ratepayers are actually getting the benefit of the legislation that we passed.
3/6 The challenge for us in the present is to effect that change. The IRA predominantly offers incentives, and it's up to us to ID the opportunities in the IRA and we take advantage of them. RMI worked with staff across the country to inform how we thought the IRA might show up:
2/6 .@mattyglesias.bsky.social's newsletter pulls from @rhodiumgroup.bsky.social@jessejenkins.bsky.social to show a "deployment gap" for clean energy. That makes sense models of the future need to assume that things--including policies--will change.
.@mattyglesias.bsky.social is right -- the IRA needs hard and clear-eyed work from planners and regulators to get the carbon out of our economy. We @RMIElectricity are releasing "Planning to Harness the IRA" to help staff do just that. rmi.org/insight/plan.... 1/6.
