A bill recently introduced in the California Legislature, Assembly Bill (AB) 538 , would open a pathway for the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), which oversees the state’s electric grid , to expand to more states in the West, a process known as grid regionalization. Whether California should proceed with expanding its statewide grid operator into a Western regional transmission organization (RTO) is a complicated discussion that I’m going to sidestep for now.

When Bush ran for President in 2000, he endorsed mandatory limits on CO 2 emissions. Within three months of taking office, he reversed himself to the dismay of some members of his own administration. The upshot was that the US resisted any effort to address climate change and embraced a “drill baby drill” energy policy. You can blame Bush. Or if you prefer, you can blame the nefarious influence of Dick Cheney or perhaps the five Justices who put Bush in the White House.

Manufacturing is evolving, and the right technology can empower—not replace—your workforce. Smart automation and AI-driven software are revolutionizing decision-making, optimizing processes, and improving efficiency. But how do you implement these tools with confidence and ensure they complement human expertise rather than override it? Join industry expert Andrew Skoog as he explores how manufacturers can leverage automation to enhance operations, streamline workflows, and make smarter, data-dri

On Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to station Russian nuclear weapons on the soil of its neighbor and ally, Belarus. This decision, like Russia’s aggressive rhetoric more broadly, raises the risk of nuclear conflict over the war in Ukraine. Unfortunately, the US and its allies are limited in their ability to respond to this provocation because NATO has long engaged in the practice of stationing nuclear weapons in allied countries.

Mike Mozart via Flickr (CC BY- 2.0) Calls are growing for more transparency in California’s energy markets. Gov. Gavin Newsom just signed his bill shining a light on gas prices at the pump. But when it comes to the recent surge in natural gas prices that jolted electricity and gas bills this winter, the next step is murkier. Regulators at the California Public Utilities Commission say they have opened an investigation.

I sometimes ask students to guess what state produces the most wind power. They’re always shocked to find out the right answer: Texas. Republicans have an iron grip on Texas government. And not just that, but Texas is by far the biggest producer of oil, with a governor who has pledged to protect the industry from climate regulation at all cost. Which seems a little hard to square with the state’s reliance on renewable energy.
