My home state of Texas, despite the pro-market rhetoric, seems to forget that markets can signal the exit of incumbents as well. Even (especially) not very flexible, not very cheap coal 🔌💡 www.utilitydive.com/news/blackro...

Texas, other states sue BlackRock, Vanguard for ‘conspiring’ to restrict US coal market

The lawsuit alleged the firms are using the influence gained through their stock holdings to pressure coal companies to reduce output in alignment with the asset managers’ net-zero goals.

My paper on long-run pricing in markets with non-convexities won the 2024 INFORMS Best Paper in Energy Award. connect.informs.org/energy-natur... If you've ever heard about "fast-start pricing," "uplift payments," or "make-whole payments," you've heard about non-convex pricing. (1/2)
