tl;dr fossil gas is unreliable

It's always sunny somewhere!
Objective fact: Solar is a 24/7 source of energy

One reason why I am getting established in upstate NY for the forseeable future... and I think there may be a real estate play here as well.
🌡️Will you live on America’s “extreme heat belt” in 30 years? About a quarter of America’s land area may soon become unlivable.🧵⬇️ bit.ly/3zZ72Mm

Seems to be official, IRA was just signed into law by @POTUS president Biden!
We all can learn something from this plain speaking guide to the grid (and whats in the future for energy) if you know a bunch in one area i guarantee you'll learn in another. austinvernon.site/blog/smart…

Eventually this same cadence will be hit with energy efficiency and heat pump electrification. Better Get Ready!
A new @Sunrun system is installed every 1.1 minutes in the US. Renewable energy isn’t coming…it’s here. #solarenergy

Our #crowdfunding round at BlocPower is rapidly coming to a close. This week!! bit.ly/impactnote3 Thanks to all those thus far who have committed their capital to improve the energy health, and climate impacts in so many communities that have otherwise gotten no attention.

We need your further support as we close out this round... Invest now! We can't say if we will do another round, or when it would come. bit.ly/impactnote3 #climatehealth #electrifyeverything #climatejustice
We see this day in and out @BlocPower ... so much support for this message @SavorTooth -- For those reading, check out the whole thread. We're hopeful the work we are doing in NYC on workforce development (1000+ workers trained in basic skills) will take hold and spread further
Climate activists are blind to something big and it's thwarting our efforts. We attack problems with technofixes, mandates, and moralism -- but all too often we fail to look closely enough to see and address the real barriers to change: 🧵

Awesome live map showing close to real time electricity grid emissions/green performance... but some of these chunks are HUGE. For example all of NYISO is one polygon. app.electricitymap.org/map app.electricitymap.org/map
Love this perspective and reminder that there are no "countries" ... only organizations, and people. and this firm distinction is neccesary for any kind of accurate political or social decision making. philosophersbeard.org/2022/0…

For example the phrase "the organisation that rules Russia is challenging the sovereignty of the organisation that rules Ukraine" is much more likely to drive correct responses to the situation. Because those are actual decision making bodies, not nebulous concepts.
On the heels of our last successful $1M crowdfunding raise, and our being named #4 at @FastCompany 's most innovative companies (!), we have launched another $2M crowdfunding campaign -- check it out and stay tuned for further developments @BlocPower ... invest.raisegreen.com/offeri…

The #crowdfunding capital goes towards energy efficiency projects themselves, with payback supported by the cash flows from the associated long term customer financing contracts.
