Picture of Robert F. Kennedy
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a dangerous and irresponsible pick for the federal agency charged with protecting the health of the American people. RFK has an alarming track record of ignoring science and promoting false claims about public health.”

PJM sees ‘easy button’ to meet power needs, but Appalachians see higher bills and more pollution
As families make tough choices between paying the power bill or buying groceries, there are mandates and market manipulations keeping expensive coal online and consumers paying the price.
Black Appalachian Coalition’s Bishop Marcia Dinkins:
💰Customers across PJM could have saved $707M+ last year if utilities had run their coal plants only when they were economic (!)
⚡️We need solutions that balance our energy needs with consumer protections instead of defaulting to incumbent power.

Gas Malfunction: Calling into Question the Reliability of Gas Power Plants.
Gas plants are vulnerable to a range of extreme weather events, with the most catastrophic failures occurring in winter. A new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists emphasizes clean energy solutions to enhance reliability and provides recommendations for policymakers.
Today, UCS released a new issue brief that examines the performance of gas power plants, finding they can be unreliable, especially during extreme weather events, which are more intense and frequent as a result of climate change. ➡️ act.ucsusa.org/41W06gD

New year, new gig! After a few months out of the game, I’m excited to be supporting the field of organizations tackling uneconomic fossil fuel generation. A lot to learn about grantmaking, but always happy to talk all things energy, strategy, and utilities! Let’s stop paying $$$$ for pollution.
