@sud_mathur @Energy_Dialogue @EDFbiz The domestic natural gas industry sees openings to address energy poverty and energy security. But companies have some major blind spots - see what stood out to @sud_mathur at #NAGF: https://t.co/XuU31iiIms

@wmata @efcmitchell The cards have never worked reliably and the kids usually need to get waived through by the station managers. Is it any wonder they've stopped carrying them?

My dog is following me around this morning and thanks to the nature of dogs, I don't know if he needs something or if I need something.

After Norwegian company warned of sighting of drones near its offshore oil and gas fields in the North Sea last week, now Total of France is warning about the same.

The later reported a drone near its Halfdan B platform, >200 km offshore. No chance that's a civilian drone!

New CBO report: The poorest *half* of America -- ~150 million people -- hold only *2 percent* of the country's total wealth

Wealth of top 10 percent has grown markedly since 1989

That tiny little line at the bottom of this chart is half the country

Quite a striking chart by @Datawrapper - main take away for me is just how tiny the squares are in the bottom right quadrant

🌎🔥 Today I asked World Bank president @DavidMalpassWBG if he believed in the scientific consensus that the man made burning of fossil fuels is rapidly and dangerously warming the planet.

“I’m not a scientist,” he said.

Here’s a thread about the remarkable exchange. 🧵 1/

“Shell has no immediate plans to move to a net-zero emissions portfolio over our investment horizon of 10-20 years” - from page 196/226 of the internal oil company and pr docs shared by Congress this week

The best part of science writing is the writing. The worst part of science writing is the writing. If you’ve ever felt this way (and yes, yes you have), here are some of the tricks I’ve found helpful for dealing with anxiety about writing. A thread. (1)

New pub! We found that emphasizing *cost savings* of renewable energy was more effective than focusing on global warming reduction or econ/job growth.
We also tested *durability* of effects, and found ~50% of the effect size on beliefs remained after 3 weeks.
Details below! 1/x

Today's @IEA report is the first time they've mapped energy jobs, and....

WOW.. *already* clean jobs outnumber fossil jobs in almost every region...

Today is the peak of California's worst September heatwave ever recorded.

The number of locations recording 110°F+ is simply extraordinary.

Many major cities have experienced their hottest day ever recorded, including San Jose and Santa Rosa. #Heatwave2022
