Because of “marginal pricing”

The most expensive generator sets the price for all

Time for reform?

Experts tell committee dry cask storage is proven but permanent disposal and recycling remain unresolved policy choices NEI and industry consultants told the committee dry cask storage has been used safely for decades, but permanent disposal options (geologic repositories or boreholes) and recycling choices require state‑level deliberation and clear governance; DOE's RFI and the nuclear waste fund were discussed as potential levers and constraints.

Experts reveal that while dry cask storage has proven effective for decades, the search for permanent nuclear waste disposal and recycling solutions is far from over.

U.S. Suspends Oil Shipping Rules to Ease Gas Price Pressures The Jones Act dictates that only U.S.-made ships can move cargo between U.S. ports. They charge customers more for shipping than foreign vessels.

Christopher Knittel says academic research found the Jones Act added ~1.5¢ per gallon to gasoline prices. “It’s not a huge number, but adds up given how much gasoline we consume.”

A good example of why rigorous, policy-relevant research matters in energy debates.

House Resources Committee hears HB 381 to replace property tax for Alaska LNG with volumetric levy Lawmakers heard testimony on HB 381, which would replace state and municipal property tax for the Alaska LNG project with an alternative volumetric tax (6¢ per thousand cubic feet, rising 1% annually) to reduce litigation and lower modeled breakeven gas prices; Department of Revenue modeling shows state revenue falls but consumer breakeven prices drop modestly.

Alaska's House Resources Committee is considering a bold new bill that could revolutionize the taxation of the $46 billion LNG project, potentially lowering gas prices and reshaping state revenue!
