Previously at Element Energy and E4tech, thoughts my own.

Professionally making puns about low-carbon energy, cooling tech, green finance and buildings decarb.

@NaturePortfolio: tweets about my first piece of published work, led by @judyjwxie, which happens to be this issue's cover

Me: squeals internally (read: externally, at high volume) for several seconds

Go check it out! Or read the abstract and skim the visuals, you do you.

A low-carbon transition in the United States could bring consistent job growth, according to a study published in @NatureClimate. The findings also indicate that the main fossil-fuel-producing states may experience more varied gains. https://t.co/KjIaWUBkMI

At long last, proposed #hydrogen tax credit rules are out. Industry reactions are in. While opponents of climate-friendly rules continue to complain, stakeholders from across the industry endorsed the proposal & are prepared to unleash investment in a truly clean H2 sector. A🧵⤵️

If you had argued 15 years ago that the US would commit to phasing out coal power by 2030 everyone would have laughed

Today’s shows the power of persistent campaigning coupled with technology forcing & global diplomacy can do

Very proud of @e3g role in this campaign 👇

NatureClimate Nov issue is now online https://t.co/v4NaIi4aWQ

cover: Distributional labour challenges and opportunities for decarbonizing the US power system, from @judyjwxie et al

[Melissa Martin @Melissa__Martin]

Happy (belated) publication day!

Decarbonisation will bring jobs across the country, but it's important to get a head start to ensure this transition is managed and brings the maximum benefit.

Proud to have been involved with this work, give it a read (you know you want to):

[Judy Xie | 谢婧玮 @judyjwxie]

Excited to share our new study in @NatureClimate on the labor impacts of the US electricity system's net-zero transition. We evaluate how this transition might affect states, economic sectors, skills, and genders. Read here: https://t.co/blQ50at6xW 🧵

getting into climate vs. 3 years in realizing how fucking complicated changing anything is

[Sam Wilkin @MrSamWilkin]

I didn't take any flights for almost 4 years, ending a couple of weeks ago.

Here's what I learned. Also, ask me anything! 🧵

Today I'm doing some research & came across this fun headline from 1988:

Looks like I'll be exclusively recommending Heaty McPumpfaces to cold-weather clients and Mr. Heat Cold Pumps to warm-weather clients from now on

[Shannon Osaka @shannonosaka]

Do heat pumps have a naming problem? I wrote about one of #energytwitter's debates -- and the larger problems with heat pump adoption. brief 🧵

“There are some people that think that heat pumps only do heating — because they’re called heat pumps."

I recently got to dive into the latest edition of @MotherJones, ft. cover art reminiscent of @TheEconomist from two weeks ago.

A thread on some of my favorite articles and key takeaways

[Kevin O'Rourke @krorourke]

MISO's board approved 18 new transmission lines today, enabling 53,000 MW of new, low-cost renewable energy projects.

A big milestone, as it's the single largest transmission expansion enabling clean energy in 🇺🇸 history.

But much more still needed.

It's been a thrill coming from London's heatwave to PNW's heatwave. Coldest summer of the rest of our lives, folks.

[Michael E. Webber @MichaelEWebber]

I am so happy to be traveling this week from the heat of Texas to the cool and refreshing Pacific Northwest.

[E3G - Third Generation Environmentalism @e3g]

Ahead of tomorrow’s #EnergyCouncil, @E3G’s @factfisching and @Vili_Ivanova1 have put together data for decisions makers. The variety of Member State economies is a strength. 🇪🇺EU countries can build on their experience working together during COVID-19.

@JesseJenkins @MacroEnergySys Yes please!

[Melissa Martin @Melissa__Martin]

Changed my mind, this is my proudest achievement

[Melissa Martin @Melissa__Martin]

In a *shocking and never-before-seen* event, oil companies show us (again) that they don't care about consumers. or energy security/access. or leading the transition. or anything that doesn't have to do with profits.

Let's start believing them.
