I wrote today in The Atlantic about the path forward to fully unlocking the economic and environmental potential of the Inflation Reduction Act: reforming our outdated electricity system. https://lnkd.in/e4ZDr2Sp

Utilities. “…it’s the regulatory barriers that keep clean energy from getting built and delivered efficiently to American homes. The movement also needs to pressure Big Tech companies, whose AI offerings are driving up energy demands, to follow through on their lofty climate talk by supporting reform in the utility system as well.” This is urgent.

***EDITED POST to reflect best practice in characterizing "clean vs dirty" sources of energy and finance, rather than using the more traditional "green vs brown" framing, which it was pointed out to me perpetuates racist and outdated modes of speaking about these topics. I've dropped a helpful link that was shared with me in the comments and thank my brave colleagues who continue to speak up and point out where we can do better in using our words carefully to advance the more equitable and just climate community we strive for.**** Thank you Brian Deese for writing this incredibly important piece. The war on climate change will be won or lost on how well we change incentives to make clean more profitable than dirty as quickly and in as many parts of the economy as possible. Electricity is the most fundamental of these markets and is the backbone and work horse of the new clean economy. We need clean, firm, cheap and highly reliable electricity everywhere. Our antiquated and outdated state protected monopoly utility system may have made sense 75 years ago- it most definitively does not make sense today absent sweeping and significant reform of and by every public utility commission and “public” utility in the country. The 21st century grid is infinitely more complex, distributed, and multidirectional than ever before. Until the environment and philanthropic communities are ready to fund a ground game that enables extensive and multi year reform efforts at each public utility across America we’ll continue to leave money and climate mitigation and resilience on the table. As Brian says so well: “What it means is that the next phase of the fight against climate change must be the comparatively wonky, unsexy work of reforming our outdated electricity markets.” The economic threat to fossil fuel incumbents of clean, abundant and absurdly inexpensive electricity is now very real in many parts of the world. The smart ones are getting on board- but many will fight with their dying breath to go down with the titanic. Getting smart on- and deeply investing in- our ground game regulatory reform strategy on electricity sector reform globally is one the most important things we can do as the environmental community in the next 5 years.

Private capital is ready and waiting to fund the green transition - it just needs to be channelled in way that works for all counterparties. Read this article in the Financial Times to understand where climate finance might come from.

This is a crucial article for everyone involved in the work of the Citizens' Climate Lobby. As Brian Deese admits, "the topic of #utility reform operates in what the climate writer David Roberts has described as a 'force field of tedium.'" Deese says that he "can say from experience that starting a cocktail-party conversation about public-utility-commission elections is a good way to find yourself standing alone. But if you care about averting the most apocalyptic consequences of climate change, you need to care about #utilities," and that "if you care about the #climate fight, the primary opponent is no longer just Big Oil, but hurdles to energy utility regulatory reform" that are admittedly very wonky and unsexy but nonetheless existential now at our current point in the climate collapse. #sdg7
