(thread) Quick thread to expand on Chris' point below. People always get into trouble because they confuse Peak Oil and the Peak Oil Debate. In other words, they confuse what Peak Oil IS and what Peak Oil MEANS. #OOTT https://t.co/ODQCRUXBwm

I’m entering hospice today. Will probably update every little if at all. But I wanted to say to be kind, be brave, be principled, be an idealist. Most importantly, be a decent human.

I love that we existed together, in this moment of time.

@TheStefanSmith Amazing! Congratulations!!

Cheers to @RichardMeyerDC on joining the 16 new members of DOE's electricity advisory committee!

The 40 members of the EAC are appointed to 2-year terms by the Sec. of Energy to advise on electricity policy issues.

[Office of Electricity | U.S. Department of Energy @DOEelectricity]

#ICYMI: OE recently announced the new members of the Electricity Advisory Committee (EAC)!

By advising on 🗝️ initiatives, the EAC helps shape efforts to ensure a more reliable, resilient, affordable, & secure energy future for all Americans. https://t.co/xAtvBEuINu

Genuine empathy and concern, he knows what a Cat 5 will do to the impoverished communities in the Yucatán and eventually the storm surge in Tampa.

If this is who I think this is... you all are about to get a masterclass in the adoption readiness level framework!

@gbrew24 Congratulations!

For all the long-term modelers out there: we just released an open source benchmarking tool that allows you to plot projections from past editions of the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) against actual outcomes.

Let me explain why this is important. 🧵

[PowerLines @powerlinesorg]

Today, we are excited to announce the launch of @powerlinesorg as a nonprofit organization focused on modernizing utility regulation to accelerate affordable, reliable, and clean energy for American energy consumers!

Joe Biden has earned his place among the best and most consequential presidents in American history.

I am so proud to serve under his leadership, and thankful for his unwavering focus on what is best for our country.

Some news: after 18 years (‼️) hosting/making podcasts on the energy transition, this week marks my final episode as a host for a while. I'm stepping away from the mic to focus on growing other areas of @_LatitudeMedia.

For my last episode of @CarbonCopy_Pod, I bring on some old friends. @JigarShahDC and @CleanGridView join me to riff on some top trends of 2024 so far: AI energy demand, grid constraints, geothermal, nuclear, America's green bank, and California's rooftop solar demise. It's a lively one.

Since 2006, I've hosted four different shows on the business of clean energy. I've interviewed thousands of people on the front lines of deployment -- through many boom-bust cycles, explaining the realities of building solutions.

Many listeners have been with me since the start. It's hard to express the joy and satisfaction I get from creating content that actually helps people doing the hard work on the ground. It is the most gratifying professional thing I've ever done. Thank you.

Most importantly: The Carbon Copy feed won't go dark! We're working on a new concept (new name + new host) that we're launching in the fall. It will feature harrowing stories from people architecting the clean energy economy. 🏗️🌇🏭

We promise: this new show will be unlike any other podcast on this topic -- and we hope it'll be a critical tool for understanding the pathways to scale for a range of clean energy and climate technologies.

In the meantime, keep listening to @CatalystPod and subscribe to Latitude Media's newsletter for our industry coverage and updates on the launch of our new show.

Government agencies have a particular responsibility to make energy models open source since the work is funded by the public and model-based analysis is used to inform decision makers.

RE: Jigar Shah #TIME100

We'll look back on the OG Energy Gang with @Stphn_Lacey @CleanGridView @JigarShahDC as the most influential podcast of the entire clean energy transition.

[D. Ray Long @RayLongDC]

Congratulations on landing the ship, @Stphn_Lacey. In the years to come, more & more people will recognize the unique & giant role you played in the energy transition.

Looking forward to your next adventures. And thank you @Ed_Crooks for keeping the party going #energytwitter

No, we didn't feel the Earthquake here in DC. But I will say that the 2011 DC Earthquake was the DAY I really got into Twitter.

Some of the most fun I've ever had on this platform was that day in 2011. Y'all have a blast today NYC, Mass, NJ, RI, etc 😎
