- I filed a brief for the Organization of PJM States (OPSI) in defense of FERC Order No 1920, which requires long-term regional transmission planning. The brief emphasizes that protecting consumers requires coordinated fed-state action. It's free! statepowerproject.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

- Do you wish you could spend New Years reading 6 newly filed briefs about federal/state responsibilities over resource adequacy? Do you also want to learn why DOE's orders keeping coal plants open are very illegal? OK, this is for you - statepowerproject.org/challenges-t...

- Reposted by Ari PeskoeCheating with an LLM is the easiest thing in the world for a student to do, but it creates a massive, laborious headache for a prof, if you intend to take it seriously.

- A lawsuit with Star Wars references! Have they considered -- -Our client has the high ground. -The court should have a bad feeling about the government's actions. -The government's chilling of free expression is no phantom menace. -This is how liberty dies.
- A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle. Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
- Looks interesting!
- It's mostly because of utilities and their decisions to spend more on poles and wires. The thing about this story is that there's so much data on market prices, T&D spending, etc. And the "reporting" on it basically ignores the data.
- Thread ranking the 17 amicus briefs filed in support of ending independent federal agencies (plus 2 supporting neither side) based on: 1. The brief's fidelity to the Supreme Court's formatting rules and 2. Whether I found the brief's formatting deviations to be aesthetically pleasing --

- What's taking the DC Circuit so long? They supposedly fast-tracked this case back when they heard oral argument on May 18! The court has already written extensively on these issues earlier this year.

- Meanwhile, those of us on Humphrey's Executor watch, reload the DC Circuit's opinion page everyday in anticipation of a ruling on the merits in Wilcox. (Every DC Cir and SCOTUS opinion on who the President can fire has been about prelim injunctions)
