I just read @LarrySabato @Center4Politics forecast.
It says that Democrats are now favored to flip both the House and Senate.
Why?
1. Midterms disfavor the party in power.
2. It’s the economy…. It’s always about the economy. A tough rule for Republicans (White House) to forget.
3. Trump approval at 32%
4. Quality of some candidates (on both sides, but more consequential for republicans).

What happens when government promises fail? Read my latest #permit #energy #infrastructure hudson.org/energy/offshore-w…
Yes, but installed nameplate capacity in stand alone #wind #power projects doesn’t deliver that amount of #energy. Only a fraction actually.
Why?
Because standalone wind energy is classified as neither #dispatchable nor #baseload power. Instead, it is categorized as an #intermittent or variable #renewable energy (#VRE) source.
Not against it but let’s be clear it’s not the same as an equivalent amount of other generation.
Pass it on.
Wind turbine orders hit 2.8 GW in Q2 ahead of tax credit deadline: WoodMac
Overall, “the U.S. wind industry remains on course to add 39 GW of onshore new-build capacity by 2030,” the report said.

That has about Zero chance of becoming a reality.

The #SpeedAct is still a mixed bag.
Yes it curtails some of the most egregious behavior but it’s more accurate to say that the House and Senate bills move litigation around rather than ending it, and that the Senate bill's permit-certainty title may do more for investment certainty than its NEPA title.
Is the remand and fix without vacating more desirable, yes of course but it’s also true the NEPA process is somewhat restored from Loper Bright but with a weakened enforcement arm and leaves open future regulations which either party could restore.

Couldn’t agree more. The #SpeedAct as currently written restores litigation avenues around #NEPA. Not good.
The @WSJ makes the very case they’re trying to dismiss. EVs are not convenient for road trips. I was an early adopter in 2019 and still have one which I’ve driven cross country. Not convenient. Not quick. Around town or day drives, it’s just fine but let’s be realistic. We are 10-20 years away from convenience.

Ouch… but true.
Airlines should actually do Hungs within their control like making travel easier, nicer, and yes, less expensive.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby wants to show customers in seat 34B he feels their pain by endorsing a national wealth tax. Such virtue-signaling is cheaper than complimentary pretzels.

And the reason is…. OEMs aren’t listening to consumers on tech, prices, drive trains, and more.

True… Hard to take advice from the administrations responsible for this. A late conversation is, better than none but yes, the damage has been done.
