@emilypont.bsky.social@emilypont.bsky.socialI see, makes sense
@emilypont.bsky.socialI hear you! But just to clarify... couldn't the wind folks use this as soon as next year?
@emilypont.bsky.socialYes just to question the assertion that "renewables won't benefit from this anytime soon if ever." Not saying it's good policy!
@emilypont.bsky.socialThe bill doesn't address that kind of scenario, the mechanics of which are very different from hostilely revoking a permit that was already approved. I guess the courts will have to answer that one.
@emilypont.bsky.socialI could be wrong, but I think it would give wind companies extra ammo to end the current freeze on airspace permits. A court ordered DOD to start reviews again, but so far it hasn't. Though maybe it will by the time the bill would go into effect. heatmap.news/plus/the-fig...
@emilypont.bsky.socialI wrote about "project certainty" in the new permitting bill, looking at past examples like Obama vetoing the Spruce coal mine and Biden rejecting Keystone XL as case studies to show how the bill would (and would not) constrain executive power over energy projects. heatmap.news/politics/baa...

@emilypont.bsky.socialThe biggest fossil fueled power plant EVER BUILT IN THE US.... will get an environmental assessment, the less rigorous review under the national environmental policy act... and complete permitting in just 7 months, per the Trump admin. yep
@emilypont.bsky.socialOur new Electricity Price Hub is packed with useful data on how much rates have changed over time for a given utility, state, or congressional district.
You can also see what proportion of the rate is going to generation, distribution, transmission, or "other" charges.

@emilypont.bsky.socialWashington State came up with a crafty bit of policy to get around Trump's order to keep the Centralia coal plant open — tax the plant into oblivion.
(Disclaimer: requires cap and trade law.)

@emilypont.bsky.socialHere is a rundown of exactly how the GOP proposal would change every clean energy tax credit. While it looks like a bunch of nips and tucks, it's probably more akin to a full repeal. More analysis from us to come.
