Blog posts of '2019' 'January'

My wife and I attended a party Saturday night in Washington, DC. So, we used some credit card points to stay at a plush hotel near the White House. Over a leisurely breakfast, I read the weekend edition of The Financial Times – yes, I am that much of a geek. An article on the PG&E financial crisis and possible implications for financing “green” energy projects caught my attention. It suggests possible lessons, not just for California, but all states that wish to promote renewable power.

I frequently am reminded by my kids – and my CAISO Committee Chair, come to think of it – that I often “date” myself with my cultural references. Oops, I did it again with the above referenced lyrics from “Buffalo Springfield.” But these words come to mind as I contemplate the relentless evolution of carbon issues in states across the country and how they are dealt with in an economically efficient manner – or not.
