On any given day, Groundwork's analyses, op-eds, reports, and commentary are featured in leading publications and on the most influential news programs and podcasts.
Despite exporting more gas than usual, the U.S. isn’t experiencing a shortage, said Alex Jacquez, head of policy, advocacy and research at left-leaning think tank Groundwork Collaborative and a former Biden administration adviser.
But it also opens the door for requiring projects to pay into a grid modernization fund. Such a fund could finance upgrades, set up new virtual power plants, or pay for new sources of zero-carbon energy, the order says. That idea — which resembles proposals from the Searchlight Institute and Groundwork Collaborative — suggests that the state is exploring ways to harness the AI boom for the public. "We want to make sure [data center developers] are investing in the grid," Hochul said on Tuesday, "but they're not being asked."
Falling gas prices are already in the rearview mirror as Trump’s ceasefire crumbles and core inflation remains high.
With any luck, it will backfire. “Surveillance pricing is the intersection of two things Americans hate: being spied on and being overcharged,” Lindsay Owens, author of the upcoming “Gouged: The End of a Fair Price — and What That Means for Your Wallet,” told The Post.
"Free-market fundamentalism no longer being in vogue in either party is a response to the fact that Americans don't think that economic system has worked for them," Lindsay Owens, the executive director of the Groundwork Collaborative, a progressive think tank, tells Axios.
“This is the way that people can get his attention or society can get his attention,” said Alex Jacquez, chief of policy and advocacy at the liberal think tank Groundwork Collaborative. “Where it’s dangerous is that it only seems to assert itself when corporate or financial interests are at stake.”
“That experience apparently left an impression on the other side of the aisle. Project 2029 aims to give a future Democratic president a similarly ready-to-go governing blueprint. And I recently learned that a former classmate of mine, Chad Maisel, is the executive director of the effort, so I called him up. Maisel previously served as a special assistant to President Biden on the White House Domestic Policy Council.”
“Lindsay Owens, the president and CEO of the left-leaning Groundwork Collaborative, said that the ‘use of fairer distribution models is a breath of fresh air for New Yorkers who know they're being ripped off.’"
Labor market shows signs of lag while hiring is concentrated in limited sectors insulated from economic reality.
New paper from Groundwork Collaborative outlines solutions to immediately lower electricity bills, save households over $250 billion over ten years, and ensure utility customers aren't left paying for Big Tech's AI data center boom.
