U.S. grid operators lag far behind international counterparts in deploying a technology that is supporting grid modernization efforts across the world, according to a new report from The Brattle Group and DNV. High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology is expanding rapidly, with more than 300 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity worldwide and 150 GW planned over the next decade.
This report, “The Operational and Market Benefits of HVDC to System Operators,” offers nine recommendations to address barriers the technology faces in the U.S. The report sponsors include the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), Allete, Clean Grid Alliance, GridLab, Grid United, and Pattern Energy Group.
A summary of the report can be accessed here, and the full report is available below.

The Foundering U.S. Economy
Poor and working-class Americans are struggling with the current economy.
The MAGA base must be going insane. Trump’s telling them that the economy is great while they’re paying $6/gallon of gas and $12.99 for a pound of hamburger.

Bill Maher’s Political Evolution
Re: what comedian Bill Maher says at left: bullcrap.
The “left” would like to see the United States a) evolve into a social democracy like the countries in Northern Europe, and b) expel its authoritarian president.
Not much new here, and certainly, nothing “goofy.”

Why Trump Canned Rex Tillerson
Those wishing to know why Rex Tillerson, former CEO and chairman of ExxonMobil, lasted only 13 months as Trump’s Secretary of State need look no further than the meme at left.
Trump places essentially zero value on the law, as demonstrated by his attempt to overthrow the U.S. federal government when he lost the 2020 election. People who will not commit crimes on his behalf don’t last long.
