@ztamble By which I mean, are the Berkeley folks scraping regulatory filings for their own DB, or do they use yours? in reply to ztamble 11:42:20, 2014-12-05
@ztamble FERC Form 1 has production costs (nice to compare vs. DSM program costs per kWh saved). Also undepreciated capital asset values. in reply to ztamble 11:41:46, 2014-12-05
@ztamble EIA923 has all fuel deliveries and their price per heat content month by month, plant by plant. Exposes fuel cost trends. in reply to ztamble 11:39:18, 2014-12-05
We’ve successfully made health insurance cheaper & more accessible, but managed to keep it a gigantic pain in the ass. #singlepayer 11:25:29, 2014-12-05
@ztamble Do you slurp in federal filings as well, like @FERC Form 1, @EIAgov form 923, and the newish EPA GHG reporting? in reply to ztamble 10:23:24, 2014-12-05
@ztamble Ah, gotcha. I don’t suppose your data stream also underlies the recent @BerkeleyLab DSMreport, does it? in reply to ztamble 10:22:24, 2014-12-05
