Gonna work on a batch of RFF paintings to prep for commissions. I've never conducted business here on BlueSky, but figured it was worth a try sense X has been a little sketchy for people trying to sell art.
My home was hit by a flood, so I'm just trying to build a bit of cushion to get us through.

I wish Ezra Klein would stop repeating the misleading claim that #BAAJA reduces energy costs.
RFF and Rhodium estimate that BAAJA would reduce residential electricity bills by just $3 to $6 per month in about 14 yrs — a savings virtually indistinguishable from normal bill fluctuations.

![On the other hand, it does reduce energy costs, and people are mad as [expletive] about energy costs. And when the Democratic Party ends up facing this set of questions: What if you can make things cheaper, but maybe it means you get more natural gas plants? Maybe you can make things cheaper, but maybe it means it's easier for corporations to

Utilization rates for SOF are sky-high - CDRSOCOM mentioned a 35% increase during testimony, iirc. My argument was poorly stated - CONOP shopping undeniably happens. Some of these do turn into RFF/RFCs. And TSOCs are loathe to discuss overstressed force structure. The incentives cut against it.

Again, another misrepresentation.
RFF shows emissions rising both without and with BAAJA.

People are too fooled by the bullshit, assumption-laden Rhodium and RFF modeling that fundamentally misunderstood and do not account for BAAJA’s problematic legal mechanics (e.g., “permit certainty,” which is just bad policy) & downstream political economy implications.

From what I've read, Kircher's approach is less based on subjective assumptions than the others because he uses the retrospective baseline along with projections. Other studies you cite (RFF) have been criticized as fossil friendly.

I'm also a huge fan of transparency, but I don't think it's a great hill to die on here. Two of the main models in use here (NEMS, by Rhodium; ReEds, by RFF) were created by US gov't agencies (DOE / NREL), have been subject to extensive review over time, and are necessarily complex.

what determines the assumptions A.
For example, @rff.org include in A the assumption that BAAJA decreases interconnection and spur line costs on federal lands by 50%. The model - the math that derives C from A - includes no causal logic to support this cost assumption. The RFF modelers made it up.

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.

RFF is great and this assumption may well be plausible. It also may not be. Reasonable minds can disagree.
The point is that assumptions like this are inevitable because BAAJA is too big and complex to mathematically map its text into numbers such as "cost of a spur line on federal lands in 2037."

The Hacker News also says Brian Vitko of RFF, a device-management software maker, checked what the Store offered in six countries and found the newest build was 11.2605.81.0, which doesn't have the fix. A test virtual machine later updated to the fixed build through Store auto-update.

Simple and transparent models can be create for pointing out flaws in complex models (as I have done repeatedly to show FF production and export blinders in big models), but to Rhodium and RFF credit here, they state those export limitations (which are, in this case I believe, not super material)
