Three new articles, Alhajji comes back on the podcast, & a few thoughts about birdbaths Another week packed with travel and energy-related news. On Monday, I was in Jonesboro talking to the Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation. Coops provide electricity service to some 600,000 homes, farms, and businesses in the state. Arkansas has about 3 million people, so the coops have a big footprint. I talked about ERCOT, federal tax credits, the Manchin-Schumer bill, and the ongoing energy crisis in Europe.
