What happens when promise of electricity reliability fails in bad weather? How can gas power plant owners claim to be reliable but fail to make adequate efforts to purchase fuel? We know that consumers pay for electricity reliability and bear the cost when supplies are tight. We now know that gas power plant owners will vociferously deny responsibility for their failings.

The concept of induced demand is a fascinating phenomenon that challenges conventional wisdom about how we think about new highways. It suggests that building them can actually increase traffic congestion over time. This counterintuitive idea has gained recognition among experts and has important implications for planning for our future transportation needs.

California has set ambitious climate goals, which include reducing state greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 40 percent by 2030 and reducing GHGs 85 percent (and achieving statewide carbon neutrality) by 2045. Amongst all the sectors state leaders seek to address, existing buildings (which are responsible for over 10 percent of state emissions), and especially existing residential structures, are among the most difficult to decarbonize.
