@ramez @Noahpinion No.

Quit posting falsehoods. CA is far ahead of TX in decarbonization.

That's the only metric that matters.

CA leads in solar + storage. Do the math, it's the percentage.

Anyone who thinks that heating north of 2C is safe for our children is either deeply ignorant or sociopathic. Full stop.

[Peter Cattaneo @Peter_Cattaneo]

I cannot find anything in his writing that show he understands and respects the outcomes that will result from his positions.

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

@JesseJenkins @Minot78364 @GeorgeE33179 @IPCC_CH He is entitled to his political opinions. But the problem remains that we need to stop oil and gas production at some point to reach net zero emissions and halt global heating, and it's truly tragic that instead of figuring out how to do that, he's recommending conceding to Trump

[Tom Solomon @tasolomon6]

@ramez @mattyglesias The oil industry is a top funder of Trump and the GOP rush to authoritarianism. Maybe THE top funder. This is a fact.

[Peter Cattaneo @Peter_Cattaneo]

@SwiftOnSecurity @DanielleFong @Newegg B&H is also very good about this.

They probably have a single hard drive with every customer order since they opened.

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

Global emissions are at an all-time high.

There’s a small group of “journalists” who consistently underplay or make false claims re: election-security risks & attack those who call them out & then play victim. Stephen Fowler is one. Jessica Huseman is another. 1/

The US uses around 322 billion gallons of water each day. This week on Construction Physics, I look at where it all goes. https://t.co/aORBJPSa0B

[Peter Cattaneo @Peter_Cattaneo]

@CA_DWR This is NOT true.

Water is very important and bullshit does not help.

@rohangrey It's called "The Argument", not, "The Solution".

California on pace to become 100% WindWaterSolar 24/7/365 by 2033

57.5% of all demand in 2025 met by WWS, vs 52.4% in 2024.

2 more >100% WWS days for 176 of 229 (76.9%) in 2025

Gas down 25% v '24 & 43% v '23

Demand down 2.4% v '24 & 2.6% v '23 despite more EVs, heat pumps, AI

[University of California @UofCalifornia]

Federal funding supports University of California research that advances our competitive edge and safeguards our military. Protect the innovative research that makes all Americans safer. Learn more.

[Mark Z. Jacobson @mzjacobson]

Gas is down 26% in just 1 y and 44% in 2 y on California's main grid

171 days (of 217) and counting with >100% WindWaterSolar for part of the day: ~20% of all hours among the 217 days >100% WWS!

WWS has supplied 57.7% of demand in '25, v 52.7% in '24 and 48.5% in '23

[Peter Cattaneo @Peter_Cattaneo]

@duncancampbell It's not settled. Loads are changing so past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

For an entertaining view, look at UK demand during important soccer matches driven by electric kettles.

[Peter Cattaneo @Peter_Cattaneo]

@duncancampbell We could and should control it.

A version of this is in place in California for commercial customers driven by pricing.

It should be standard everywhere with real communication.

[Peter Cattaneo @Peter_Cattaneo]

@Robotbeat @NeverBeGrounded No, the are not. They are dumb and constantly fail in basic situations.

Example, two weeks ago in SF Chinatown. Waymo turns into street that is blocked by a fire truck. It stops, blocking the street. The second fire truck behind the Waymo can't reach the incident. Minutes go by

[Peter Cattaneo @Peter_Cattaneo]

@InvalidReturn @clawrence In many locations, adding solar panels improves agricultural output. Plants and animals.

It also helps farmers with predictable revenue.

[Peter Cattaneo @Peter_Cattaneo]

@ramez ERCOT is a monopoly. Letting lots of companies resell their power isn't a free market.

[Peter Cattaneo @Peter_Cattaneo]

@Noahpinion @AlecStapp The race is between humanity and survival. Texas is THE WORST state for GHG emissions.

Posting one 12 month period for three data points is complete bullshit. What is wrong with you?

California is years ahead of Texas on GHG reduction.

[Peter Cattaneo @Peter_Cattaneo]

@JLopas Those Cybertruck lines are humming in Austin, right?

None of that bullshit "regulation"
