Senator Murkowski is the most important swing vote in the U.S Senate and one of the most moderating forces in American politics. Over salmon burgers, halibut and chips, and scallops in Chena Hot Springs, we talk about bipartisanship, how we both followed a family patriarch in public life, and leveraging her formidable independence to better our politics. What steps can meaningfully improve the national climate and lives of Americans? https://lnkd.in/dZT9svrb

💡 Ohio Energy News 💡 The EPA's latest regulations on power plant emissions, including Ohio's Cardinal Power Plant, are shaking up the electricity landscape, posing significant challenges to reliability and affordability for over a million Ohioans. Precision Quincy Industries is at the forefront of addressing these challenges, ensuring a stable and sustainable power grid for Ohio's future (Read to the end to learn more). Today, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled its final rule targeting emissions from power plants nationwide, including Ohio's Cardinal Power Plant in Brilliant. This rule, demanding existing coal-fired plants to be 90% carbon emission-free by 2032, poses significant challenges to the backbone of reliable and affordable electricity generation for over 1,000,000 electric cooperative members across Ohio. Pat O'Loughlin, president and CEO of Buckeye Power and Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives, condemns these regulations as unrealistic and unachievable. The EPA's mandates overlook warnings about increased costs and threaten the reliability of our national electric system precisely when we're facing growing demand and escalating costs. Jim Matheson, President and CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, echoes concerns, emphasizing the rule's oversight of reliability. Similarly, Michelle Bloodworth, President and CEO of America's Power, stresses the critical role of coal-fired power plants in meeting rising electricity demands.

Many a slip twixt the cup and the lip, as my grandmother was fond of saying. Last week a colleague was musing on Gov. Glenn Youngkin's announcement on June 5 that Virginia will exit California’s “electric vehicle mandate,” at the end of 2024, when California Air Resources Board regulations are slated to go into effect. According to Fairfax County Times' Jared Wenzelburger making it "the first of 13 states to opt out of California’s vehicle emissions standards and ban on gas-powered vehicles. States may choose to either follow federal law on the issue or adopt California’s stricter regulations." How would this impact #electrification in the state and beyond? It's a good question. Especially given the countervailing signals of Dominion Energy's Residential Charging Program supported by Qmerit and Dominion Energy Innovation Center's selection of WeaveGrid in its 2021 DEIC Accelerate program. The latter won it a spot on the Global Cleantech 100 list. “Virginians deserve the freedom to choose which vehicles best fit the needs of their families and businesses,” Youngkin said. “The law is clear, and I am proud to announce Virginians will no longer be forced to live under this out-of-touch policy.” https://lnkd.in/e-jT7PTX Is this just a nod to the challenges of connecting #DERs with #Grid and #EVCharging? Or is a symptom of something more fundamental??

Read more: https://ow.ly/mcST50QonHZ "Over the next five years, NERC forecasts that all or parts of 19 states from Montana to Louisiana are at high risk of rolling blackouts during normal peak conditions. And most of the country faces similar risk when demand for electricity spikes during exceedingly hot or cold temperatures." - Jim Matheson, CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association #GridReliability #PublicSafety #UsageMatters #YourTrustedEnergyPartner

Here’s some additional insight on my previous post about the recent huge electricity bill increase… it also mentions that the huge increase will be in place for 10 months…
