Our grid is so fragmented, we get crazy outcomes like this: In some parts of the US, wholesale electricity prices are negative for ~25% of the year.
- IFP repostedThe most important chart in the world now includes data for 2025. Trend lines are unchanged (bad).

It was fun talking with @SiegelScribe about the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). While at DOJ, I defended several major infrastructure projects from NHPA lawsuits & saw some ways the process could be improved. I'm working on a long article about the Act & proposed - IFP reposted
A salary-based ranking could pay for a huge portion of Reconciliation 3.0 and fix the biggest flaw in the H-1B program.Unlike a $100k fee, an age-adjusted salary ranking for H-1Bs would actually raise revenue. ifp.org/h1b/ - IFP reposted
Replying to @joseph_fridman @CUNYLaw and 10 othersi'm thrilled to be joining the @IFP team during an especially critical time in science, tech, infrastructure, defense, etc. policy in the US (and in the EU, where i'll be spending my days) - having just spent a few days in DC last week, i'm so excited to work with the team - IFP reposted
Unlike a $100k fee, an age-adjusted salary ranking for H-1Bs would actually raise revenue.We have a reconciliation bill today that funds operations of ICE/CBP. We should include this $100K (or higher) fee in the bill, & CODIFY border security now with either āThe Secure Border Actā (old HR2) or āThe Permanent Trump Secure Border Actā (old HR2 minus e-verify).

On Sunday I turned 31 in Monterey and in a month Iāll join @fmheclimate in the Kingdom of Belgium and be a Brusselsā¦ sprout? A Brusselsite? (Suggestions welcome but please donāt pretend like you already knew before just now.)
beyondtheivorytower.comBeyond the Ivory Tower - IFP repostedYou could raise $90 billion for reconciliation if you did an age-adjusted compensation ranking. Meanwhile, USG itself admits the $100k H-1B fee loses them money.The $100k H-1B entry fee was just declared unlawful and vacated by a federal judge. This has huge implications for the effects of the new Weighted Lottery. While the fee was in place, it only applied to people outside the country, which meant student retention was up since it

Tall and long infrastructure projects are disproportionately harmed by historic preservation review. The taller and longer a project is, the larger the "viewshed", meaning more acres and historic sites to review. Transmission and wind get screwed
