Energy

This desk covers the grid, batteries, and the power cost of compute. A lead belongs here when it changes supply, storage, a plant, a tariff, or the reason a machine stays on. Policy is in scope when it moves those facts. A gadget review is not an energy story unless the measurement is the energy. The desk would rather cite the agency, the utility filing, or the engineering report than a rewrite of that report.

The short version is the sentence that should be quoted for what this desk is. It is written here, it names the beat, and it contains no link. The paragraphs around it are the collection's own introduction, so the desk front is a page about energy and technology rather than a naked list of outbound headlines. Briefs will sit above the wire and will be the indexable work. They start from leads. They are not the leads.

The wire is the reduced notebook. Incomplete rows, the ones missing a date or a description or carrying a broken title, are removed before anything is shown. From the complete rows the page takes ten, newest first, and it will not take a third from one outlet while another outlet still has a complete lead to offer. The date is marked up as a time. The headline is an outbound link. That is the whole of what a wire line is allowed to be.
