Higher Energy

Be the person in the room who actually understands energy.

The next decade decides whether America builds its way to energy abundance or regulates its way into scarcity. Those calls run through a small number of staffers, analysts, and advisors. The ones who grasp the tradeoffs, not the talking points, will shape how it goes. We built this to make you one of them.

Why it’s worth it

Energy is the master input, and bad policy lands hardest on the people with the least margin.

9.8% vs 1.2%

share of income spent on home energy: bottom fifth of earners vs the top (Census ACS)

43.8%

of households under $25,000 couldn’t pay an energy bill at least once last year (Census Pulse)

+33%

electricity prices since 2019 (EIA)

Demand is climbing after fifteen flat years. The next wave of supply decisions sets ratepayer outcomes for a decade, and they are being made now.

The mission

Train the policy professionals who steward America’s energy future toward kilowatt-hours too cheap to meter. Decision-makers rarely have an expert on speed dial; they rely on the people around them. The goal is genuine abundance, won by policy that clears the way and then gets out of it.

Your edge

Read a utility filing and know what the numbers mean. Hear reliability testimony and separate sound engineering from motivated handwaving. Take an LCOE figure and name what it leaves out. Not memorized rebuttals: reasoning from first principles when the conversation goes off script. The colleague who can hold the room on substance becomes the one who moves it.

How it works

Mastery learning, the model behind Math Academy: concepts build in order, each gated by a quiz, each returning on a spaced schedule so it sticks. Ten minutes a day. And no positions to parrot. Where the evidence is settled we say so plainly; where it is genuinely contested, we show you the contest and trust you to weigh it.
