Voting analysis
One of Troy Balderson's bills would improve how electricity load is forecast. Load forecasting used to be a settled technical exercise — demand grew slowly and predictably — and it has stopped being one, because very large computing facilities can appear on a grid faster than a utility can plan for them. A bill about forecasting methodology is a bill about that.
A New Jersey Democrat elsewhere on this site filed a measure on transparency in choosing sites for those same facilities. Two members, two parties, approaching the same new fact about the landscape from opposite ends: where the buildings go, and whether the wires can carry them.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 46 currently sit at Introduced.
Energy and health
Health tops his classified subjects and energy sits second, which the rest of the list bears out: a codification protecting energy production from state overreach, a recycling and minerals recovery exemption for spent refinery catalyst, a clarity act, and a supplemental benefits measure. He is vice chair of the oversight and investigations panel at Energy and Commerce.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Troy Balderson's cluster into: Health (15), Energy (9), Transportation and Public Works (6), Environmental Protection (4), Science, Technology, Communications (4), Commerce (3).
