We broke every possible social contract for young people, unprecedented wealth transfer from young to old, devalued the currency, made home prices insane, education debt crazy and now for the lulz we're automating all the entry level white collar work. Just incredible

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money.

Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment.

Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

Offshore wind:

1) Is close to load centers (LNG export terminals, Houston, etc.)

2) Performs best at peak times (hot summer afternoons)

3) Generates revenue for state coffers

4) Is a clean, domestic source of energy

5) Leverages our offshore industry

So TxLege might ban it.

We have built invisible cathedrals that our lives depend on.

They are beyond any single person's grasp. But their operation should still instill a kind of wonder and reverence as cathedrals do.

America the only country that can handle the grind of an SEC schedule @3YearLetterman

[Dave @CleanTechDave]

Covid exposed all the other countries as strength of schedule merchants

It's stunning how dominant the American economy has become. The US has just 4% of the world's population but:
- 26% of the GDP
- 31% of the household wealth
- 46% of the VC investment
- 61% of the 100 most valuable companies

In line for #Kamalapalooza in Houston! After party at Truckyard??

[Dave @CleanTechDave]

@frankthorp In this line now and it’s 2x as long as it was in this video. Moving fast tho

@drvolts @bedwardstiek 2nd this question!

[John Arnold @johnarnold]

How many cities would approve a 13-story building of affordable & chronically homeless housing in midtown + do a zoning variance to allow it to have a larger footprint + have neighbors show up in support + unanimous vote by Planning Comm? It's why Houston leads nation in housing.

[John Arnold @johnarnold]

I used to think decarbonization was hard because voters prioritized the goals of the energy system in the following order:
1) Affordable
2) Reliable
3) Secure
4) Clean

But I missed one. The actual order of prioritization is:
1) Jobs
2) Affordable
3) Reliable
4) Secure
5) Clean

This is not wrong. Texas can be king of it all.

@KeithLovesMango @KarthikForTexas Hey- I’m interested in this event but your DMs aren’t open

[Dave @CleanTechDave]

This. This is why I moved out of NY and left the hedge fund industry shortly after turning 30.

[Dave @CleanTechDave]

The Jones Act is one of the single most harmful laws in the US. It hurts so many people so a couple large companies can make windfall profits on their ships. https://t.co/EiH7o9Ju50

What's happening on ERCOT power grid this summer is stunning. Going into summer, the record demand was 79.8 gw. Last week, we hit 85.6 gw-- a 7.2% increase! In one year! Most afternoons, grid is being held up by solar & natural gas.

@matt_levine Graphic design is my passion

[Dave @CleanTechDave]

@matt_levine I also find the VG- Shell dispute hilarious, made a rather niche meme about it last night

[Karthik @KarthikForTexas]

The 9th largest economy in the world shouldn’t be in a position where we frantically text everyone to lower their thermometers every other day. We need to fix ERCOT and connect it to other grids, invest in energy efficiency, and build resilience through a Texas Green Bank!

[Erin Zwiener @ErinForYall]

Hey y’all. I know you’re mad, and I’m mad too. We have another ERCOT conservation notice starting at 4pm today. The heat we’re seeing used to be unusual in June, but now it’s too common.

I’m mad that just two days ago the governor vetoed legislation to improve energy efficiency.
