It’s not entirely related, but I was elected chair of one of my company’s technology chapters today. I blame this thread.

Already part of my strategic plan for 2018:
1. Delegate
2. Plagiarize
3. ???

Citing low gas prices and the proliferation of renewables such as wind and solar, Vistra Energy Corp. VST +0.39% , a vestige of the former Energy Future Holdings Corp., said it would retire three coal-fired facilities in Texas by early next year and that it plans to merge with independent power producer Dynegy Inc.

The price drop at PJM reflects the construction of dozens of new gas-burning power plants, spurred by the abundance of the fuel due to the shale drilling boom. In 2006, 8% of the electricity in PJM was generated by natural gas. In 2016, it was 27%.

The resulting competition—by more power plants to buyers of roughly the same number of megawatts—has most-acutely impacted older coal and nuclear plants, which are struggling to provide competitively priced power. It has even begun to affect older natural-gas-fired facilities that have higher costs.

LOL. F-ck you, NASA.

I have such a crush on him. Can he be president, please? I don't care that he's Afrikaans or whatever.

It isn't NASA's fault their budget was slashed to nothing. I like Musk as well, but he reinforces the idea that some billionaire will take care of it. No reason for the government to finance exploration.
