Need help breaking up with fossil fuels? Rewiring America is training 1,000 coaches this year to guide neighbors through getting heat pumps, solar and more, Alison F. Takemura reports canarymedia.com/articles/elect…

EPA faces utility pushback and likely legal challenges to its new rules forcing fossil power plants to curb emissions or close. But backers say they'll force utilities to embrace clean energy options that already beat fossil fuels on cost and reliability:

While the Bureau of Land Management is moving to make clean energy development easier on public lands, it’s taking steps to make oil and gas development a little harder bit.ly/4b4suk2

The Bureau of Land Management is making it easier to develop clean energy projects in the West, while trying to balance ecosystem protection — a tricky task. Reporting by Eric Wesoff: bit.ly/4b4suk2

A cool thing about Solar for All is that it's helping 25 states and territories create low-income solar programs *for the first time* — programs that may not have been created w/out a federal infusion, Alison F. Takemura reports:

Thanks to my colleague Maria Gallucci for breaking down this highly complicated issue, step by step... so many interlocking interdependencies that make or break the next big offshore wind project!

We're going to need some 'culture and norms' shifts to get all these grid technologies deployed quickly enough to make a difference: canarymedia.com/articles/trans…

In an exclusive interview with Catherine Clifford in Cipher News, U.S. energy loan chief Jigar Shah calls for disrupting “culture and norms” in the power sector, plus a response from EEI. ciphernews.com/articles/u-s-e…

Two massive victories today! President Biden announces the #AmericanClimateCorps , putting young people to work in good jobs combating climate change AND the Solar for All program w/ $7B for solar in disadvantaged communities.

This is the FDR-level ambition we’ve been calling for! 👏🎉

Tritium, the Australian company that's become a major DC fast-charger manufacturers in the U.S., is insolvent after failing to find buyers or secure bailouts for its faltering business, leaving its customers and workers at its Tennessee factory in limbo: canarymedia.com/articles/ev-ch…

Utility giant Dominion Energy is developing a $10 billion, 2.6 GW offshore wind project near Virginia Beach. But in order to make good on its ambitious plans, Dominion first had to get into the shipbuilding business, Julian Spector writes canarymedia.com/articles/wind/…

The Biden admin has a five-year plan to boost 'innovative grid' technologies that could dramatically expand capacity and reliability of U.S. power grids — if only U.S. utilities and regulators can fix the incentive mismatches that are holding them back: canarymedia.com/articles/trans…

Where Robinson Meyer gets it exactly right on load growth. Read *all* of this important piece. This is exactly the zeitgeist we are in - the beating of the load growth drum is in service of conjuring new gas plants out of regulators and legislators.
