Publicly owned utilities pay back more to their communities than for-profit ones. Learn more about #PublicPower from ILSR's podcast series about communities trying to go public: vist.ly/5meig

If your electric utility was publicly owned, you'd probably have a lower bill. #PublicPower vist.ly/5mafn

Rising electricity demand is driving up prices. Faster solar #interconnection = more affordable power, sooner. States that cut red tape now help their residents save before the final #solartaxcredit deadline. #GridUnlocked gridunlocked.org

For-profit utilities cost more, clearly shown in this state-issued analysis of privatizing Santee Cooper in S.C. So when investor-owned utilities claim that it's expensive to switch to public power, they're lying.

I love hearing these stories of using AI agents to get through the barriers that companies have erected to prevent us from getting help: nytimes.com/2026/09/22/techn…. (until websites block the agents)

Are city-owned utilities the answer to out-of-control for-profit monopolies? I was delighted to join Bryan Lee on the Energy Markets Podcast to wrestle with this question on either end of a broad conversation about the corruption in the utility industry. vist.ly/5httk

What a nightmare. By implementing the tariffs illegally, and now having to unwind them, the Trump administration created over $100 billion of profit for corporations selling foreign products, at the expense of American consumers. Your refund: $0.00 Apple’s profit: $2.2 billion

This is the hellscape of corporate concentration. Three major airlines all skimp on customer service and the helpless consumer is just bounced around
