In today’s latimes: I press one of America’s top electric utility executives to explain why his industry opposes President Biden’s clean energy plan, even as utility companies like his frame themselves as climate champions:
because of economic problems. And those were both carbon capture from coal plants. Gas plants are harder, because the concentration of carbon dioxide coming out is lower.
I’m a scientist by training. I believe in technology. I know we can get there, especially with funding from the Inflation Reduction Act. At Southern California Edison, we are basically depending on there being carbon capture and hydrogen by 2045.A smokestack at Scattergood Generating Station, a gas plant that generates electricity for Los Angeles. The L.A. Department of Water and Power hopes to eventually burn hydrogen there.We’ve been open with the administration about this.
Part of the criticism of Edison Electric Institute from the environmental community is that utility companies have been big supporters of federal funding and tax credits for carbon capture and hydrogen — and now you’re asking the feds not to require those technologies, at least not so fast.
At the same time, we’ve got to acknowledge this is not just about the utilities. It’s also about their regulators, and the states they’re in. The reality is, if you look state by state, you have a broad diversity of views about the pace of the energy transition. These utilities serve their customers, and they have to get approval from their local regulators.
