Today @scientistsorg.bsky.social is out with a new playbook to reduce utility bills, deploy clean energy, and make government work for people. I joined @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social on Shift Key to discuss the playbook and what state and local leaders can do to cut bills. heatmap.news/podcast/shif...

There’s a New Playbook for Cutting Power Prices

Rob talks with the Federation of American Scientists’ Arjun Krishnaswami on a new report with practical steps governments can take to make electricity more affordable.

NEW SHIFT KEY Democrats have campaigned on cutting power bills — or at least slowing their rise. But how can they actually do it? I’m joined by @arjjacob.bsky.social to discuss a big new playbook for lowering electricity costs & deploying clean energy. heatmap.news/podcast/shif...

New from me with The States Forum — State leaders can take on rising utility bills by addressing the full set of barriers to building clean energy projects. Read more here: statesforum.substack.com/p/the-year-o...

Why Your Electric Bill Keeps Winning

States can create more clean energy supply. There’s no reason to wait.

You’ll see 3 things on your power bill: • Supply – making electricity • Transmission – big lines • Distribution – neighborhood wires For years T&D drove costs. Now? Supply costs are rising because we’re not building power fast enough. States can fix this. statesforum.substack.com/p/the-year-o...

High utility bills are driving states to soften rate hikes through demand flexibility and making it easier to build clean energy. We should move quickly on these good policies. But we also need more fundamental reform. New from me on long-term affordability ⬇️ www.utilitydive.com/news/quick-f...

Quick fixes won’t solve high energy bills

As grid spending increases, policymakers should look beyond residential customers to cover costs, writes Arjun Krishnaswami, a senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists.

Project development barriers slow clean energy deployment. Political barriers grind it to a screeching halt. To address the climate crisis, rein in utility bills, and deliver on clean energy, we need to first address those barriers. READ MORE 👉 fas.org/publication/...

Stop what you're doing and read this excellent piece from @arjjacob.bsky.social on the real barriers to achieving abundant clean energy: www.utilitydive.com/news/energy-...

Want abundant energy? Ask who benefits from scarcity.

Achieving energy abundance requires reforming electricity markets, refreshing electric utility regulation and rethinking the way we pay for grid infrastructure.

The pressures on the U.S. electricity system are rapidly increasing, and our policy playbook needs an upgrade. I joined @scientistsorg.bsky.social as a Senior Fellow to jump into this work. Here’s a bit more on what I’m up to—and an invitation to join me in collaboration. fas.org/publication/...

Updating the Clean Electricity Playbook

To fight the climate crises we need new policy frameworks and expanded coalitions to facilitate the rapid transformation of the electricity system.
