Policy solution: Electricity markets should require all generators to meet technology-neutral reliability standards. FERC and ERCOT (the TX regulator) should set reliability standards that all competitors must meet—not allow some to sell unreliable electricity, as they do now. — PolitiTweet.org

Unreliability preference 1: no price penalty for being unreliable In almost every area of life we pay far more for a reliable service than for an unreliable one. But in electricity, unfair rules make utilities pay the same for unreliable solar/wind as they do for reliables. — PolitiTweet.org

Tech-neutral reliability standards do not prevent solar/wind from being used. They simply require that generators who want to use solar/wind take responsibility for combining it with reliables and/or storage to guarantee reliability. Instead of foisting responsibility on others. — PolitiTweet.org
