Ann Arbor's experiment with a new kind of utility Missy Stults explains Ann Arbor's novel plan to build a second, clean-energy utility alongside its incumbent.

And if you want to learn much more about this cool new thing in energy -- say it with me, everybody -- listen to this Volts pod:

Ann Arbor, Michigan, prepares to launch its own clean energy utility Investor-owned utilities have been slow to ditch fossil fuels. The city of Ann Arbor plans to boost access to renewables with a unique model rolling out…

I'm so excited by & curious about this experiment -- basically Ann Arbor is standing up a second, municipal power utility, devoted to clean energy, to operate alongside its IOU. Unique in the world, far as I know:

The Downballot's special elections Big Board for the 2025-26 cycle

Oh yeah, in case you haven't bookmarked it yet, our special election Big Board is the original recipe. We've been tracking these races like a hawk for a decade—accept no substitutes!

Dems outperforming 2024 presidential results by an average of 13 points.

Fact check: True.

“How do you get penalized for playing a tough schedule by not making the NCAA Tournament?”

Specifically mentioning Auburn…

Because you won barely half the time!

And if we based the field on schedule strength, it would be full of SWAC and MEAC teams!

According to the Louisiana Democratic Party, Chasity Martinez got outpsent by a 3-to-1 margin in tonight's election yet still turned in a 37-point overperformance—and a victory.

The administrators of Columbia, Penn, Brown will do their best one day to gaslight us into believing they did the best they could, but it’s harder when others made different choices.

You seem to have heard correctly

Hearing this is payback for Colorado not honoring Trump/Peters ‘pardon’

Longtime TPM reader and aerosol scientist, if I took one lesson from the past 5 years it is the importance of ventilation/dilution (i.e., cracking a window), amazing how quickly a sealed room fills (CO2, PM, etc.)

Try a CO2 monitor in your car with air recirculating (which is default for most cars when AC on), it is amazing to see how quickly it can hit >5,000. No wonder folks get so tired on long drives. As scientists studying indoor and outdoor air quality, we really need to get the word out better on this.
