I don't know how many years I have heard the same tired arguments by utilities against net metering. Maybe 10+? If it is such an existential threat to all that is holy and humane, then I am disturbed by the lack of innovation on this front. A little pre-holiday thread/vent. /2: In most states, the lost revenues associated with NEM are less than 1/10th of 1% of total utility revenue requirements. How are you going to keep saying that lost revenue shifts costs when rates usually don't change unless you come in for a rate increase?

Alright, a little H.951 thread, by unpopular demand. Carbon goal? Carbon mandate? Well, 951 requires the Commission to "take all reasonable steps to achieve a 70% reduction...from electric generating facilities owned or operated by electric public utilities [by 2030]."

THREAD: So, #energytwitter we did a thing. It is long testimony, but gives a pretty comprehensive look at how climate risks impact utility operations and should inform prudent planning going forward. Just a few words here on "why now?", not the merits of the case itself.

2/ Utilities like @ConEdison are now incorporating the state of the art in climate science to plan their system. Prudent planning requires this in 2020. Awareness of climate risk is here and the genie is not going back in the bottle.
