The deadline is Tuesday, Jan. 21, to submit applications for summer internships at #NETL through the @ENERGY Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship Program. Receive a biweekly stipend and help advance clean energy technologies at NETL research sites.

My new colleagues at @NETL_DOE have published their updated life cycle analysis of greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas. This is really impressive and important work, check it out: netl.doe.gov/node/14504

Energy policy discussions could focus on things like jobs and health, says @acurtright. "Even if you aren't worried about the record heat this summer (which you should be), you should be interested in improved air quality and a future-proof economy." power-technology.com/feature…
How about one of the lanes of 5th Ave in #Pittsburgh from Penn Ave into Oakland? We could still have two lanes in the direction of major traffic flow by time of day...
Paris definitely wasn’t always this way. This is very recent. It wasn’t magic. It just took a clear vision, and real leadership. Your city could choose leadership too.

What if making progress on climate change doesn't mean doing everything the same way, except with less CO₂ emissions, but fundamentally changing the way we interact with nature and with other people?
ALT "If we leave the issue of climate change to white men, it'll continue to be treated as a physical problem with technological solutions. We've seen this doesn't work all that well. Climate change is a social problem with social and political solutions. The more diverse the people working on it, the closer we get to implementing these solutions and making progress on climate change." Dr Friedericke Otto

"What I found most notable is that all of the studies drew the same conclusions [about same-sex marriage]: There was either no effect or beneficial effects on any outcome you could look at. That's 20 years of research, 96 studies, and no harms." latimes.com/science/story/20…
Interesting perspective from the @PittsburghPG editorial board inspired by new @netl_doe paper: "#Fracking produces a resource needed to wean us off #fossilfuels. PA should embrace it."
