And of course Moody’s estimate doesn’t value energy cost stability, clean air, or stable climate. Probably uses corporate discount rate. in reply to ZaneSelvans 22:11:47, 2017-03-31
Even bond rating agencies agree huge amount of coal is now more expensive to run than wind is to build from scratch: https://t.co/XTpL2QslQK in reply to ZaneSelvans 22:09:19, 2017-03-31
These proposals ignore the entire premise of the muni bid: that we can get lower, more stable prices by increasing renewable energy mix. in reply to ZaneSelvans 22:04:31, 2017-03-31
The early franchise exit isn’t a real option — it just shunts the city back to the Pay Way Too Much option. in reply to ZaneSelvans 22:01:59, 2017-03-31
Especially after signing a new franchise agreement, what incentive would Xcel have to make Yet Another Working Group fruitful? in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:59:48, 2017-03-31
And The Partnership governance board sounds a lot like… someone suggesting that we create yet another housing working group. #JustSaying in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:55:56, 2017-03-31

At first glance, it’s hard for me to see how The Partnership option is much different from what we get if we continue litigation and lose. in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:35:48, 2017-03-31
Dollar values put forward by Xcel in The Buyout option seem intended to ensure rejection. Same scale as previous demands ($500M-$1B). in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:33:50, 2017-03-31

@janburtonco The two are inseparable. Paid parking changes behavior for exactly the same reason people complain about it: they notice it. in reply to ZaneSelvans 11:29:01, 2017-03-29
@janburtonco Parking costs are disproportionately salient, which means a small $ value can yield large behavioral changes. Also: complaints. in reply to janburtonco 11:28:01, 2017-03-29
@ambrown So if deployment grows fast enough no need to have split labor/customer incentives. But would it be the same jobs? The same people? in reply to ZaneSelvans 00:27:34, 2017-03-29
@ambrown For a while at least, it seems like total solar employment could increase even while labor costs per Watt installed drops. in reply to ambrown 00:24:21, 2017-03-29
@ambrown I don’t think I have any reasonable intuition for the answer. Are there examples from other countries and markets I wonder? in reply to ambrown 00:18:11, 2017-03-29

@hanlonbt Can you imagine what SF would be like if we let that become the norm? It’s like a ghost city, but not the collapsed kind. in reply to hanlonbt 23:14:07, 2017-03-28
Though weirdly, they use private sector income as metric of political competence. Seems especially odd given current cabinet. in reply to ZaneSelvans 23:07:56, 2017-03-28
