So Many Issues, So Little Time
Steve Mitnick has authored four books on the economics, history, and people of the utilities industries. While in the consulting practice leadership of McKinsey & Co. and Marsh & McLennan, he advised utility leaders. He led a transmission development company and was a New York Governor’s chief energy advisor. Mitnick was an expert witness appearing before utility regulatory commissions of six states, D.C., FERC, and in Canada, and taught microeconomics, macroeconomics, and statistics at Georgetown University.
I want to write about the tradeoff between the pace of decarbonization and customer affordability. I want to write about the free lunch that many expect though few admit is absent in utility regulation. I want to write about the historic reversal in intergenerational equity from struggling households disproportionately older in age to struggling households disproportionately younger in age. And the implications for our industry.
