    Settlements to kill projects are the part that bothers me. That is paying twice for delay.

    That money could have gone into transmission or storage instead.

    Cheap energy matters, but long-term planning matters too. Hybrid is the only answer that sounds real.

    Hybrid sounds dull, but energy policy probably should be dull and consistent.

    Canceling wind while approving fossil projects feels like policy whiplash, not a strategy.

    People underestimate how much grid reliability still drives these decisions.
