What's in the queue is not evidence of economics, but utility preferences. Gas turbine prices have soared recently to quickly supply energy-hungry AI data centers, but now the gas turbine supply queues themselves are quite long, and the EIA low oil and gas supply projections are quite daunting.

PJM stalled many GWs of solar and batteries in a queue backlog that lasted many years. This has now culminated in a risk to the electricity grid that serves 11 states (some partially). PJM is essentially run by the utilities that have a vested interest in maintaining the fossil fuel status quo.

What modeling tools are you using? I'm looking predominantly at energy, though also gathering data from multiple scenarios to price social cost of carbon, ghg, and health impacts. Using pypsa-usa.

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.
