Maybe it's not that simple

@ClaireWayner @Mining_Atoms Isn't it just that charging load won't always equal local solar gen, probably will differ by a lot frequently, so you need storage ($) or T ($)

@SimonMahan @tcurwin Have definitely heard a utility exec say (laughing) the difference between a blackout and load shed is whether it happens to you

@drvolts Whichever state gets the most votes, you'll find MT solidly on the other end. For example: https://t.co/813GNwNxCM

@electronecon @drvolts You forgot MT 🤣

@kyle__cb Why is a congested node a good place to site a data center?

In energy storage, $/kWh and $/kWh mean different things.

Oh boy somebody gotta teach @AlexEpstein diff-in-diff

[Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein]

If the participants at the upcoming UN Climate Conference actually cared about human life they would be advocating for massive increases in global energy use so billions more people can live longer lives.

@AlexEpstein I'm guessing you don't diff-in-diff? Or you posted the wrong graphs. These show similar change in life expectancy despite different growth in energy use.

Learn about this and share!

Passage of legislation that substantially reduces GHG emissions would be a huge win for the climate. But if the incentives embedded in the CEPP are not carefully thought through, there’s a real risk that the program will fail to achieve its goals, at taxpayers’ expense. (1/7)

We all hate paper work, but...

[Ben Inskeep @Ben_Inskeep]

This bombshell on the Texas power outages is damning of the state's fossil gas industry and its regulators. It's enraging that people may have died in part because the industry couldn't be bothered to fill out the most basic paperwork.

Blaming wind turbines is even more painfully dumb than most right wing lies--because all you need to disprove it is a map https://t.co/2r9NDXmasa via @NewYorker

Great thread, we shouldn't be surprised

[Mr. Regional @kidstatic]

I don't think people understand how large a fuck up the #TexasBlackout is. Too many are talking about how this is freak weather and it was unforseen. It wasn't. It was seen in 2011. A thread.
