Why Your UI Shows [object Object] and How to Fix It Fast

Seeing [object Object] instead of a title is a classic JavaScript issue. Learn exactly why it happens in React and other UIs, how to debug it quickly, and the patterns that prevent it for good.

States vs. PJM: AI-fueled demand ignites a grid reckoning

States vs. PJM: AI-fueled demand ignites a grid reckoning

Electricity bills are surging across PJM and capacity prices have jumped nearly tenfold in two years. On September 23, 2025, a new bipartisan Governors’ Collaborative meets to press for faster transmission, market fixes, and a stronger state voice over the nation’s largest grid operator.

Governors vs. PJM: AI Data Centers Reshape the Grid

Governors vs. PJM: AI Data Centers Reshape the Grid

A coalition of PJM-state governors is moving to exert new influence over the nation’s largest grid as AI data centers turbocharge demand and push capacity prices higher. Here is what could change next for rules, rates, interconnection, and resources.

States Move to Rewire PJM as AI Load Swamps the Grid

States Move to Rewire PJM as AI Load Swamps the Grid

Governors across the PJM region are forming a new collaborative to shape grid planning and market rules as AI data center demand drives up capacity prices and reliability risk. Here is what they want to change, how it could hit bills, and the milestones to watch next.

AI’s power boom collides with America’s LNG export wave

AI’s power boom collides with America’s LNG export wave

Exploding AI data center demand is arriving just as a major wave of US and Qatari LNG supply hits global markets. The cross‑currents are rewriting policy from PJM to ERCOT, reshaping capacity prices, and guiding where new gas plants get built.

Summer 2025 made batteries the grid’s new peaker plants

Summer 2025 made batteries the grid’s new peaker plants

A scorching Summer 2025 flipped the peaker playbook. ERCOT surpassed CAISO in battery capacity, Texas storage set a 6.3 GW evening discharge record on July 11, CAISO credited storage for stronger reserves, and Puerto Rico’s home batteries performed like a paid virtual power plant.

Order 1920’s trench fight: courts, clocks, and cost splits

Order 1920’s trench fight: courts, clocks, and cost splits

Order 1920 left the page and entered the trenches in 2025. Rehearing clarifications, a new FERC chair, Fourth Circuit consolidation, and a demand shock from data centers now collide with looming compliance deadlines that will decide who actually builds long lines.

Palisades Comes Back: The New Playbook for Reactor Re‑life

Palisades Comes Back: The New Playbook for Reactor Re‑life

With a fresh DOE loan disbursement on September 16 and summer NRC approvals, Palisades now has a credible path to a Q4 2025 restart. Here is the playbook behind the financing, offtake and licensing, what it means for MISO, and how SMR co-location could multiply the impact.

AI islands collide with Texas’s new 765 kV power superhighway

AI islands collide with Texas’s new 765 kV power superhighway

AI data centers are racing into the Permian on islanded gas-plus-battery microgrids while Texas readies 765 kV lines to move bulk ERCOT power west. SB 6 rewrites who pays, how to connect, and when operators must curtail.

America’s LNG Reboot: DOE ends pause, Gulf projects sprint

America’s LNG Reboot: DOE ends pause, Gulf projects sprint

The Department of Energy restored LNG approvals in January 2025, clearing a backlog and jump-starting Gulf Coast projects. We break down who advanced, what volumes are realistic for 2026 to 2030, and which bottlenecks like pipelines, labor and methane rules could still slow the surge.

How 2025 locked in the West’s two-track day-ahead market

How 2025 locked in the West’s two-track day-ahead market

In 2025, CAISO’s EDAM and SPP’s Markets+ moved from debate to buildout. Here is who joins when, how the seam will work, and what changes by 2026 to 2028.

Who Connects First Now: PJM, MISO and CAISO’s Fast Tracks

Who Connects First Now: PJM, MISO and CAISO’s Fast Tracks

U.S. grid operators just opened express lanes for near‑term megawatts. We break down which PJM, MISO and CAISO projects can realistically hit 2027 to 2029 CODs, how PJM’s record capacity prices tilt technology choices, and the moves developers, LSEs and data centers should make now.

CCS’s 2025 permitting pivot rewires where carbon can go

CCS’s 2025 permitting pivot rewires where carbon can go

State primacy over Class VI wells and the first Gulf Coast permits are finally moving U.S. CCS from proposals to construction. Texas and Appalachia are speeding up while tougher pipeline standards may decide who reaches financing and rights of way first.

Tariffs reshape the U.S. solar map as 2025 trade cases widen

Tariffs reshape the U.S. solar map as 2025 trade cases widen

June 24 changed the U.S. solar market. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders on four Southeast Asian countries bent the price curve, and fresh probes into India, Laos, and Indonesia could force another pivot before year end. Here is what it means for sourcing, PPAs, and schedules.

Hydrogen’s 2025 reset: 45V clarity and methane-fee fallout

Hydrogen’s 2025 reset: 45V clarity and methane-fee fallout

Treasury’s January 10, 2025 45V rules give green hydrogen time and certainty, while Congress’ March repeal of EPA’s methane fee eases blue hydrogen’s near‑term costs. Here is how hubs, projects, and offtakers should move through 2028.

Offshore wind whiplash hits New England’s grid plans

Offshore wind whiplash hits New England’s grid plans

Two shocks hit New England’s offshore wind push: a federal rethink of SouthCoast Wind’s permit and a stop‑work order on Revolution Wind. We break down the legal stakes, timeline risk, REC fallout, and what fills the gap through 2035.

After the Freeze: Who Wins NEVI’s 2025-26 Buildout

After the Freeze: Who Wins NEVI’s 2025-26 Buildout

A February 6 funding freeze, a June 24 injunction, and an August 11 guidance reset have rewritten the EV fast charging map. With Tesla easing off new Supercharger builds, retailers, utilities, and oil majors are poised to capture 2025-26 NEVI awards.

Europe’s 2027 LNG Ban Could Redraw the Global Gas Map

Europe’s 2027 LNG Ban Could Redraw the Global Gas Map

Brussels is moving to outlaw Russian LNG by January 1, 2027. Here is how a phased cutoff could reroute cargoes, shift pricing power, accelerate new supply from the U.S. and Qatar, and reshape Europe’s decarbonization timeline.
