A big thank you to @VCWA for organizing a fascinating conversation with folks from Kyrgyzstan to discuss @cleanenergy and @energystorage.

[Vermont Council on World Affairs @VCWA]

This morning @StateIVLP visitors from Kyrgyzstan met with @CleanEnergyGrp to discuss the transition to a resilient, sustainable, clean energy future. #exchange

New favorite energy quote: '“These transitions are super-duper feasible,” Childs said of swapping in batteries for peaker plants that fire up as electricity demand is surging.' #phaseoutpeakers #batterystorage https://t.co/sIplzkkxb1

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

A new @CleanEnergyGrp report exploring #solar and #batterystorage for cooling centers can help communities prepare for next year's inevitable heat waves. https://t.co/rrhuLwlaIE

Can someone in Louisiana please explain to me how increasing water use by 55% and reducing energy output by 30% by slapping on carbon capture is going to improve the environment? #boondoggle #falsesolutions https://t.co/DOqwYRSG6A

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

Fantastic story of what a just energy transition can look like - rejecting gentrification for #CleanEnergy jobs and development of #OffshoreWind infrastructure @mariagallucci @UPROSE https://t.co/Np1NGMk9WW

Burning hydrogen is not a climate solution.

Our latest statement on results of NYPA's Green Hydrogen Demonstration Project in Long Island:

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

@NYPAenergy found that it can marginally reduce CO2 emissions by burning a blend of #hydrogen with gas while still poisoning nearby communities at the same levels https://t.co/UuWTPEHJ4R #FalseSolutions

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

This is what the #cleanenergy transition looks like. The end of a giant 50-year-old fossil gas plant to make way for 1.2GW of #offshorewind. @PeakCoalition

[Sierra Club @SierraClub]

📢Huge Win! NRG has dropped their plan to build a new gas plant in Astoria, will retire the existing plant & sell the land under it to Beacon Wind, retiring fracked gas power in Astoria in favor of offshore wind! https://t.co/02vdfBn58K

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

“It no longer makes sense for ratepayers to subsidize new natural gas infrastructure.” @californiapuc Well done CA! https://t.co/uPgL9ccnmN

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - private equity firms have become the bottom feeders of the energy world, propping up the worst of the worst fossil fuel infrastructure. @nysfocus @firstarai https://t.co/lG2KuIxCbh

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

Any sentence that includes the phrase "clean burning" is a lie. That's not a real thing.

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

Carbon isn't the only nasty thing coming out of power plants. This new report from @CleanEnergyGrp highlights the health impacts of gas peakers and how communities are fighting to replace them with clean alternatives. #Renewables #EnergyStorage #PhaseOutPeakers

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

I'll joining @wattTime and @GreenHomeInst next week to talk about the disproportionate impacts of fossil peakers on #EnvironmentalJustice communities.

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

Methane gas, the "cleanest" of fossil fuels, causes 70 times more deaths per TWh than #wind and 140 times more deaths than #solar. Note that these are conservative estimates based on power plants with modern pollution controls. @CanaryMediaInc

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

Ugh. The only way carbon capture is going to truly cut GHG emissions is if it effectively makes fossil power plants too expensive to build and too expensive to operate. #falsesolutions #CCSboondoggle

[Ben Storrow @bstorrow]

Get ready for a lot of talk about carbon capture. Last week's SCOTUS ruling makes CCS the most likely option for addressing CO2 from power plants.

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

#SCOTUS hobbled @EPA ability to broadly reign in power plant emissions in response to the #ClimateCrisis. Fortunately, states and communities have been leading the #CleanEnergy transformation and will continue to do so.

[SCOTUSblog @SCOTUSblog]

The Supreme Court sharply curtails the authority of the EPA to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions that cause climate change. In a 6-3 ruling, the court sides with conservative states and fossil-fuel companies in adopting a narrow reading of the Clean Air Act.

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

A part of me always dreamed of becoming a published author. Never expected it would happen like this. Thanks to everyone who made this book possible! #EnergyJustice

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

Note to @nexteraenergy CEO John Ketchum: burning hydrogen (even green hydrogen) produces deadly local pollution (also you realize that H2 is an indirect GHG right?). Burning hydrogen is not a zero-emission strategy. https://t.co/NSLWUepLdn

[Seth Mullendore @Seth_Mullendore]

Great that Rhode Island has committed to 100% #renewables but it's important to remember that buying RECs does not eliminate GHG emissions or local sources of pollution. Buying offsets and carbon trading often do little to advance #EnergyJustice.

[Ben Storrow @bstorrow]

Rhode Island is poised to go 100% renewable by 2033. Would be first to go all renewable. (States like WA & NM are 100% clean.) Faster transition than any other state.

But... Rhode Island is still likely to be consuming fossil fuels for power in 2033.
