Critics of the Biden administration’s energy policies have often pointed out the lack of forethought that goes into the challenges in bringing President Joe Biden’s vision to fruition. Whether it’s the misguided effort to build out charging stations to support its EV mandate, or the impacts of its offshore wind goals on marine wildlife, the administration has seemed more interested in goals than thoughtful planning and analysis of impacts.
A pair of analysts have been conducting research on federal and state green energy policies on the grid and finding what they call short-sighted thinking when it comes to the policies’ impacts on energy reliability and affordability. The business they’ve founded offering these services, Always On Energy Research, had so much demand, they didn’t start advertising until a few months after they opened their doors.
Cost and reliability
Last May, Mitch Rolling and Isaac Orr, also known on Substack as the “Energy Bad Boys,” modeled the cost and reliability impacts of the Environmental Protection Agency’s new power plant rule for the Industrial Commission of North Dakota. The rule requires unproven carbon capture technologies on power plants. The investments to implement the technology aren’t feasible for coal-fired power plants and costly for new natural gas-fired generation. As critics have pointed out, taking large amounts of reliable power off the grid and making it costly to add new reliable power will create reliability problems.
The analysis Orr and Rolling conducted found that the EPA performed a regulatory impact analysis, but in that analysis, the agency never performed a reliability assessment. Instead, it measured the impacts of the policy using a resource adequacy analysis, which the agency has stated isn’t adequate for measuring regulatory impacts on grid reliability. The EPA also used assumptions that Orr and Rolling found to be “shockingly unrealistic” and “irresponsible.” […]
