I wrote about how current FERC proceedings about transmission upgrades are critical for shifting utility incentives and pushing the industry to tackle transmission expansion -- utilitydive.com/news/utilities…

16 electric cooperatives are *big* winners today of $7.3 billion from the federal New ERA program to pursue solar, wind, storage, and other low emissions tech. These coops serve more than 1/5th of rural America and are investing in over $29 billion in clean tech. Remarkable.

Justice Gorsuch's opinion refers five times to "nitrous oxide" (aka laughing gas) rather than the entirely different chemical compound -- smog-causing "nitrogen oxides" -- actually at issue in the case.

@AriPeskoe with respect to results, you could show him those before and after satellite pictures of the Northeast us at night, and explain to him how it shows that pjm did a pretty good job of pulling up the bridge

Oh no. I've read another legal brief/article attributing federal regulation of electric utilities to an obscure and since-overturned Supreme Court case. Please don't write this:

Another positive climate decision today: D.C. Circuit upholds California's ability to set strong emissions standards for automobiles; rejects efforts by fossil fuel industry and red states to strike down EPA's "California waiver". The decision: bit.ly/3PUFAIE

There is a lot to digest here, but I think we already knew the broad parameters of what the final rule would look like. As is so often the case these days, one needs to watch what individual states are doing, in addition to the SEC.

Today environmental "due diligence" in real estate and M&A is about more than merely getting a 'safe harbor' (such as it is) from CERCLA and some state's liability provisions by conducting a Phase I. What do financiers and insurers, and other stakeholder…lnkd.in/eQKYYpQV
