BAAJA could increase electricity demand by accelerating buildout of power lines or processing of generation interconnection queues, alleviating transmission or resource-adequacy constraints that would otherwise slow interconnection of large loads to transmission grids.

Zack Polanski and Greta Thunberg talk about the interconnection of human rights, climate change, politics, Palestine. You cannot be selective in your concerns. You can’t say I’m worried about this but that is off limits for me.
Episode out this week with the brilliant Greta Thunberg! 👇🏽
There is no climate justice without social, racial and economic justice.

Economics developed and was taught in a ‘cet par’ world. No appreciation of interconnection- just imaginary boundaries.

Likely mixed: Easier interconnection to electricity transmission grids, but also easier interconnection to natural gas transmission grids. The net shift depends on the relative strength of the two effects. By what percent does BAAJA accelerate power lines vs. pipelines? Highly uncertain IMO.

Alternatively or additionally, BAAJA could increase electricity demand by accelerating buildout of natural gas pipelines or production, alleviating analogous transmission or resource-adequacy constraints that would otherwise slow interconnection of large loads to natural gas networks.

The task force is split over whether crucial interconnection changes can happen without new laws, sparking a heated debate about regulatory authority in Virginia!

Get the details!

Task force divided on whether interconnection changes need legislation
Members debated whether modernizing interconnection (meter-socket adapters and related rules) can be done under existing SEC authority or will require statutory changes; staff recommended flagging items that likely need legislation and adding a catch-all note in the report.

Size perverts aren't abstract enough. "Oh I'm in love with a 50 foot tall woman. Oh I'm in love with a jumbo jet aeromorph. Oh I wanna snogzilla." Get weirder. Fall in love with the Eastern Interconnection power grid. Go try to kiss the Giant's Causeway. Take the aurora borealis on a date.

And note the etymological interconnection with the vb « pêter » 😌

2. Do they model BAAJA potentially increasing demand for electricity or fossil fuel direct use?

BAAJA might accelerate siting or interconnection of large loads, such as data centers, increasing electricity demand and associated emissions. BAAJA might also influence domestic fuel prices and demand.

#Halloween - October 31 - May we contemplate how easily we scare ourselves and others, and choose a way of wonderment and interconnection that is more delightful than frightful

we're all about chance and choice and the interconnection of percentages and risks, fate is nothing though, except for us, because of the flaws

I don't specify the mechanisms, just model overall effects. I've mainly mapped overall effects into example mechanisms by thinking about accelerated transmission and pipeline buildout and interconnection queue processing, but price effects matter too (supply ⬆️, price ⬇️, bitcoin demand ⬆️ or w/e).

Can anyone point me to an earnest discussion of what Democrats could do to accelerate transmission and clean electricity interconnection through budget reconciliation (simple Senate majority) or executive authority (recently greatly expanded)?
Again: whatever you think of the permitting bill, the idea that we're going to get a better deal under the next Congress is an illusion & the people saying it *know* it's an illusion. They know it's not true. They just want to kill the bill.

For example, @rff.org modelers - who I respect and mention only because theirs is the most transparent study about assumptions (👏) - assume BAAJA's NEPA changes decrease the cost of interconnection and spur power lines on federal lands by 50%. Why 50%? Because the modelers said so.
