Grid Brief Goes to Hollywood!

Dear Readers,

First and foremost, I want to thank you for reading Grid Brief. You make this whole endeavor possible. It is a profound joy to bring the most relevant energy news and insightful analyses I can to you each day.

Secondly, I’m in a movie! Sort of! Long-time energy journalist and multiple-time author Robert Bryce has just released a docu-series on the state of the American electrical grid called Juice: Power, Politics, and the Grid.

I’m in good company as a talking head with author Meredith Angwin, nuclear power advocate Madi Hilly, energy analyst Mark Nelson, and many more. You can watch the series for free here:

The final episode of the series is named after my phrase for nuclear power plants: Industrial Cathedrals.

Upgrade to Grid Brief Premium to get extra deep dives into energy issues all over the world.

In other news, we’ve been rolling out a steady stream of excellent premium content. As you’ve no doubt noticed, our weekly What’s Keeping the Lights On look at power generation in America’s power markets has become a premium product—we’ve also added weekly power price graphs and news updates per power market when relevant.

Our Grid Brief International series has delved into global energy issues as various as Pakistan’s beleaguered power sector, Colombia’s foolhardy energy policy, the bursting of Germany’s hydrogen bubble, and more.

Our Friday Deep Dive has explored underreported domestic energy stories like PJM’s fight with the Sierra Club to keep a coal plant online, what the loss of the Everett LNG terminal means for New England, and the Osage tribe’s recent victory for a European energy firm, the largest and longest fight against a renewable energy project in American history. I should add, Robert Bryce also interviewed the tribe for the doc-series.

If you haven’t done so already, consider upgrading. You’ll get access to the archive of all previous premium posts and more to come. We’re also making Crom-themed shirts to send out to premium subscribers.

As ever, thank you for your time, attention, and support. We never take it for granted.

Yours,

Emmet Penney,

Editor-in-Chief

Crom’s Blessing
