Two years ago, #WinterStormUri knocked out power across Texas for days. I joined the latest episode of #BakerBriefing—a podcast produced by the Baker Institute—to discuss the Texas power grid two years later. Listen here: https://t.co/FuNFroTw6k
Two years after #WinterStormUri struck Texas, the question of whether & how to end the isolation of the state’s grid remains. Scholar @JulieCohn8 offers a brief history of the TX grid to explore how the past can inform the state’s electric power future: https://t.co/UveCytWAVb
As the #EnergyTransition continues, the viability of our power system is at stake. @CES_Baker_Inst's @JulieCohn8 explains the need to prepare for next-generation grid technology in a new brief: https://t.co/RtFZ8lmyII
A vivid memory of #ASEH2022@aseh_org in Eugene, OR. Getting caught on wrong side of tracks with @JulieCohn8 and others watching tons of milled lumber find it’s way out of town to Northern California. #envhist

This was a different kind of project - selecting five books I really liked that also relate to my professional endeavors. I will be interested to hear what others would have picked - my theme: fiction that is also stealth environmental history.
Listen to @DealSomm's latest Drinks With The Deal #podcast, where @BakerInstitute's @JulieCohn8, author of a leading history of the electricity grid, discusses the February power outages in Texas as well as how the grid might change. https://t.co/jpDa0YaWbf

Incredibly moving and timely Presidential Address by Ed Russell that will be remembered by everyone who attended. We hope to have it up on our channel soon for anyone who was unable to view it live.
As the causes of the deadly grid failures in the #TexasFreeze are emerging & as the #txlege considers how to prevent such catastrophes in the future, @CES_Baker_Inst's Peter Hartley, @jimkrane, @MichaeMaher200A & @Ken_Medlock suggest a few market reforms: https://t.co/K3k3tJzhlZ
