Great session today at @UCBerkeley about #cybersecurity and #cleanenergy, a fascinating intersection with massive opportunities and challenges ahead!

New @NRDC analysis from @NrdcTomr and @claireranglee of the latest @pjminterconnect capacity market auction: if 30% of the queue (~7 GW, almost all clean) had been operational instead of stuck in the queue, clearing prices would have been 63% (!) lower 😮nrdc.org/bio/claire-lang-ree…

My colleagues ran the numbers to examine the difference between Project 2025's climate and energy provisions and a scenario that meets America's stated 2030 climate goals. The results are stark. (1/5) energyinnovation.org/publica…

What's it mean to get a major solar factory in your backyard?
For Dalton, GA, it means that young people can stay in town and start a high-tech career, instead of having to move away after high school. That's great for families, and a bustling downtown canarymedia.com/articles/sol…

People asking why this is factually incorrect…I’m at a conference today so am pressed for time but I’ll quickly address each of the 5 “key points.”
Bottom line: You can dress up unsupported horseshit in as much polished data viz as you want, but it still stinks.
Key points aren’t actually very key when they are factually incorrect.
Good of the @nytopinion to help the mob sharpen their pitchforks for Fauci’s Select Subcommittee hearing by enshrining the lies that he will be attacked with as truth in the paper of record.

This is one of the biggest red flags in our path to decarbonize America: the poor performance of the US wind sector. We need wind to pick up the slack...

🚨New research from Energy Innovation, @BerkeleyLab, and Energy Research Institute explores how industrial #heatpumps and #thermalbatteries, along with supporting policies, can help transition #China’s industrial heating away from fossil fuels.

1. According to many billionaires, political pundits, and media figures, US universities are now vehicles for "woke" indoctrination
These institutions, they argue, are focused on teaching students about systemic racism, trans rights, and other "woke" topics
There is never any evidence to support these claims
It's all anecdotes and vibes.
So, let's look at the DATA

How is it that @Microsoft can build record amounts of clean, but @DukeEnergy, @TVAnews and others can't? ft.com/content/70f3ce57-1d02… via @ft

Can we...just accept that we suck at this?
I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton.

What's at stake for our climate in this November's elections?
Absolutely everything.
