You've cut 17K+ solar jobs and stolen money from SOMAH and other low-income solar groups during your tenure. Don't act like California's energy savior when you bathe in the pockets of utilities.

NEW: Sunrun and @span_io expand partnership to close the speed-to-power gap while making sure American homeowners benefit from AI’s growth. Today we announced a complete, distributed AI compute solution at gigawatt scale that can be deployed faster than traditional data centers. Plus, homeowners directly benefit in multiple ways from their participation in this powerful distributed AI solution. By pairing Sunrun’s home battery storage and solar energy systems with SPAN's XFRA compute nodes in new home communities, the partnership solves one of the main bottlenecks for distributed AI compute: power generation and transmission constraints. By optimizing existing energy infrastructure, Sunrun and SPAN are improving grid efficiency and helping power the rising demands of AI. More compute. Faster power. More value for homeowners.

While some are calling it misleading, I thought it was a bold literary decision by Nikole Hannah-Jones to imagine in her first-person essay a NYC without its 286 charter schools. It really heightens the tension.

A historic moment for American energy: 140,000+ home batteries | 580 megawatts As California baked under extreme heat and energy demand surged on September 9, Sunrun and @teslaenergy dispatched more than 140,000 home batteries, delivering 580 MW of peak power to the state's grid in the largest residential distributed power plant event ever recorded in the United States. The dispatch event provided enough capacity to power every household in Sacramento County during peak hours. The extra power helped increase the grid's operating margin and put downward pressure on real-time energy prices for everyone in the state. Through grid service programs like DSGS and ELRP, home storage and solar are doing more than providing backup power and energy security to families. They’re helping make the grid more affordable and reliable while reducing the need for costly new poles, wires, and peaker plants. Everyday homeowners are keeping California's grid stable and making history in the process, all while being compensated for it. That’s the energy future we’re building in America. #AmericanEnergy #EnergyIndependence #BatteryStorage #HomeBatteries #OutageProtection #Distributed #Energy

Update: California appears to have blown through record peak grid demand in yesterday’s heat wave. No reliability problems, very mild energy prices volatility given the situation. Natural gas, solar, and batteries for the reliability win.

Texas produces nearly twice as much electricity as any other state in the US. And the gap is growing...

Todd Beamer was the passenger on United Airlines Flight 93 who rallied fellow passengers to fight back against the 9/11 hijackers with the phrase "Let's roll" and stopped it from reaching Washington, DC. This is his daughter, Morgan, who was born 4 months after his death and went on to play women's soccer at his alma mater, Wheaton College. Imagine how proud he would be. 🇺🇸 #neverforget

Hi Michael, thanks for reaching out. If you don’t mind me asking, what neighborhood are you in? I’ll call our intergovernmental relations contacts at PG&E and try to find out why you’re experiencing repeated outages. It is unlikely to be city infrastructure, but happy to be your advocate and try to figure out why your neighborhood is being disproportionately affected. There could be something going on with the local substation. My email if you prefer is matt (dot) mahan (at) sanjoseca.gov or you can DM me.
