Woke up this morning to a 1-2 punch on a critical element of the clean energy transition:

(1) Listen to @leahstokes on how monopoly utilities fight climate action while keeping customer electricity costs high on the latest @chrislhayes podcast. https://player.fm/series/why-is-this-happening-with-chris-hayes/the-invisible-power-struggle-with-leah-stokes

(2) Proving the point, @EnergyInnovLLC/ @DrChrisClack release a study on how bringing true electricity competition to the Southeast would save customers $380 *billion*, reduce GHGs 40%, and build 60 GW of clean energy (creating thousands of jobs) by 2040. https://energyinnovation.org/publication/economic-and-clean-energy-benefits-of-establishing-a-southeast-u-s-competitive-wholesale-electricity-market/

More details on the @EnergyInnovLLC @VibrantCE study of what adding some electricity system competition to the Southeast can do in this thread , with cool graphs. https://twitter.com/EnergyInnovLLC/status/1298252255615782912
