Escaping the resource curse means envisioning a future that does not simply replace oil with other extractive industries, but instead drives shared prosperity.

State regulators are making increasingly complex decisions about the electricity system. The public utility commissions left to carry out those orders are chronically understaffed.
Congress can fix that. Here's how.

One underrated tool in the fight against Colorado's historic drought-record-low snowpack-system crash 3fer: make the pipes more efficient.
About half of the water meant for crops (which is already ~86% of CO's water usage) is lost in transit. Solve for the problem!
As one of the Colorado River’s worst water years on record comes to a close today, experts warn that the disputed waterway is approaching a critical threshold that could set the stage for a prolonged legal fight. wapo.st/4yzAtBR

In 2008, we learned what happens when regulators treat privately produced ratings as objective guarantees while ignoring the financial incentives behind them. We risk repeating this with AI auditing and self-regulation regimes.
I chatted with @CalMatters about this concern ⤵️
California is at the forefront of embracing the evaluators — and of grappling with some of the problems they raise, including conflicts of interests and the difficulty of auditing general-purpose technology. cal.news/4zlZv7G

Loudon County has a personal property tax on the equipment. In our @scientistsorg report comparing ten deals across the country, this was really inconsistent.
