For the first time in its history, this week NERC's Board of Trustees is invoking its authority to move forward a reliability standard (on inverter-based resources' ride-through capabilities) that failed to gain adequate support during the stakeholder voting process.

This episode is full of bullish news. But most bullish of all? Former DOE Secretary Rick Perry has embraced Bitcoin. Business and energy boomed under Gov. Perry’s leadership—and he continues to show Texas the way.

Why would any politician actually have backed this atrocious bill that takes even more of your rights away, and adds administrative burden and overhead to a corporation? Answer - they rolled the Corporate Transparency Act of 2019 (passed by the house) into the National Defense

The grid operator continuously uses Ancillary Services to maintain real-time grid stability, these reserves are competitively procured from generation and load resources with strict fast-response requirements. This is not demand-response, where loads are incentivized to curtail.

Demand-response: load turns off in response to high prices. Ancillary Services: load stays on despite high prices because they are being paid by the grid operator to stay on in reserve, just as a generator in AS would be paid to stay off. Completely different, often conflated.

It's wild that on the other end of bitcoin mining, two orthogonal terms are also often conflated: network security and transaction finality. And in both cases, it's often industry experts doing the mix-up.
