The mind-blowing thing we get WRONG about energy:
Our current energy system is very inefficient - we waste most of the energy in conversion processes.
The good news: With electrification and renewable energy many of those inefficiencies will disappear.

"Why are electricity prices so high if renewables break generation records and are so cheap?" I have been asked.
The main reason: Gas still sets the price 63% of the time in wholesale electricity markets in EU27 & >90% in some countries.

Lack of grid capacity is already a key barrier to deploying renewables & electrification.
A solution: grid hosting capacity maps.
Here's our @RegAssistProj@EmberClimate proposal for what this could look like in Europe 👇

Mock up in video below.
@bchesky my husband was threatened and evicted from his airbnb where he was staying almost a month. He has escalated to your safety team and @AirbnbHelp but it has been over 48 hours since he has had ANY contact with @airbnb
Is a 48 hour response, especially for international travelers, your current SLA KPI for travelers? We have documented the eviction without cause and are waiting for a resolution because *he currently has no place to stay*
Hi @Airbnb and @AirbnbHelp it has been more than 24 hours and my husband has contacted you in his account directly per your instructions and yet to receive a response. He currently has no place to stay. What is a recourse?
We've been documenting issues with this host before to have a trail, but the point is that @Airbnb and @AirbnbHelp have a very long way to go in terms of actually understanding what to do in an emergency situation caused by one of their hosts
I can see why I will never use @Airbnb again. My husband has a safey issue internationally in an AirBnb. While he is working on getting safe, I call @AirbnbHelp to determine what he needs to do and next steps since you know "he is in literally in an emergency situation"
Mind you, this is the line that you go to when you say that you don't feel safe and there is no way for someone staying internationally to get a response other than, maybe once you're ok, call us.
It’s #BuildingModernizationMonday and we’re taking a chance to look back on our blog series that highlighted our Building Modernization Legislative Toolkit. Come on along for our Monday journey through the past. 🧵 1/
