The Affordability Crisis Deepens: Reading & Podcast Picks, August 31, 2025

The Administration's attacks on clean energy upend Texas' economic development; "The Electric Slide"; distributed batteries in Texas; AI and electricity; energy affordability; and more

Reading and Podcast Picks is a collection of what I’ve been reading and listening to over the last week or so about energy topics.

In addition to these R&P Picks, paid subscribers receive access to the full archives going back to 2022, Grid Roundups, and select episodes of the Energy Capital Podcast, including this recent one with CPS Energy’s President & CEO Rudy Garza on data centers, renewables, distributed energy resources, and more.
