In his critique of me today @Sammy_Roth argues I am underrating the ability of solar + batteries to deliver 100% renewable electricity at low cost with no gas backup. He should read his earlier reporting that the way to make this work is to accept regular blackouts.

I think the last few days of discourse reveal that the climate policy space suffers from over-siloing and too much specialization.

Fresh blood and very elderly members retiring is good, but we really ought to grapple with the fact that “member of congress” should be a really desirable job and in so many ways is not.
