As we work towards raising ambition for #COP26, the @energyforgrowth team will continue to push for economic justice. My latest @TEDTalks for @TEDCountdown frames some of this thinking: https://t.co/cxd70nHmmY

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

Both Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (Anthropic) have made some version of the argument that AI will give us the power to "fix the climate". I find this a deeply problematic position, as the challenges of mitigation are as much political as technological.

The data and evidence gap is holding back Africa's electric vehicle revolution! CC @energyforgrowth

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

"The future of mobility on [Africa] hinges on our urgent and collaborative efforts to build a solid evidence base and drive this revolution forward from the ground up," writes @MutisoRose in a new #ScienceExpertVoices article.

I really enjoyed this chat on climate finance, professional research, and career learnings with @MutisoRose and @KatieAuth! Give it a listen 🎧

[Rose M. Mutiso @MutisoRose]

It's been a tough week in the news. I distracted myself by writing my new substack post about humor in the science and policy world. I hope you enjoy it, and would love to hear your thoughts and reactions. https://t.co/OwrZNZILEr

💻 Will AI save the planet? Or will we run out of energy before it can transform our lives into an age of abundance?

⌨️ The answer? Listen to #TheInquiry @bbcworldservice with @VanRijmenam @katecrawford Sam Young from @EnergySysCat and @MutisoRose

Kibao is a platform where Rose shares deep dives & musings on topics that matter to us all, including energy, climate, tech, and the African continent. https://t.co/dgcMeNzaEs 🧵👇

[Rose M. Mutiso @MutisoRose]

🚀 Excited to launch my new Substack: Kibao! I'll be posting articles on energy, tech, and Africa. Plus other musings. First two posts on *Afrofuturism for Policy Wonks* and *A Skeptic's Guide to Tech Hype* are up! Subscribe now! https://t.co/pzITMegi7t

[Rose M. Mutiso @MutisoRose]

Attention #energy and #energyefficiency nerds! Had the wonderful pleasure of talking #EE on @BBCWorld climate question last week. A goal of the episode was to make energy efficiency interesting & compelling, and I think we succeeded! Stand proud team #EE! https://t.co/MYFUtgJMzF

[Rose M. Mutiso @MutisoRose]

Everyone's got something to say on #AI these days, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon with my own thoughts. I write in @ScienceMagazine on why & how African countries should cut through the AI buzz and meaningfully prepare for this brave new world https://t.co/ZDdUWiDMPG

[The Rockefeller Foundation @RockefellerFdn]

Climate solutions are led by women around the 🌍, from advancing solar power to scientific research.

Hear from leaders live Mar 27 on how we must #InvestInWomen.

Amazing to stumble upon this mind-bending @TEDTalks by @hollyherndon . Unexpected and inspiring to see Holly lean into the disruption when AI threatens control over her art, identity, and livelihood. We need new rules for this brave new world! https://t.co/oDQRtaVAiQ

[Rose M. Mutiso @MutisoRose]

The @AfricanClimateF is looking for a passionate and dynamic person to lead an ambitious initiative that will seed world-class, African-led and African-owned energy systems research. Please share widely!

[Rose M. Mutiso @MutisoRose]

@ScienceMagazine @energyforgrowth Here's the piece https://t.co/6ZnFEEsgPV

[Rose M. Mutiso @MutisoRose]

Massive thanks @ScienceMagazine for selecting my piece on building African energy knowledge ecosystems as one of the top of 2023! And thanks to the @energyforgrowth team and our collaborators for contributions to this work. Here's to more together in 2024! https://t.co/Qlp8HCABfZ

My book is published today in the US 🇺🇸

Published in the UK (& elsewhere) on 11th.

It looks at 7 of our big environmental problems & how to solve them.

These problems are massive. Urgent. But solvable. It's a critical decade for us to take action.

3rd nationwide blackout in as many months in Kenya, our grid & power system is in shambles https://t.co/SPP54sSz8v

Calls for more climate finance are important, but if current practice is any guide, a large share of the funds will be taken from budgets that fund critical development priorities, @vijramachandran and @alexjmssmith write. https://t.co/k6FQL8tn8t

[Michael Dioha, PhD @michael_dioha]

Excited about participating as a speaker in the upcoming @IOPenvironment online event, which centers on energy access. I'm also eager to learn from my experienced co-speakers. #energyaccess #ER2023
