I am actively working through private enterprise, policy and technology to maintain a viable climate and environment for humans and the biosphere.

@clawrence @roflm0nster The grid failed because owners of gas wells and pipes refused to invest in winterizing them. Exactly the same as refuding to invest in AC.

[Todd Allyn Flach @Todd_Flach]

@clawrence Absolutely nobody that needs both heating in the winter and cooling in the summer should get an AC. They SHOULD get a heat pump and switch it to cooling mode in the cooling season.

@TimRyan @Scaramucci @robertwolf32 Great and honest analysis and proposals

@MikeNellis Vance is building visibilty and profile to be ready to take over when Trump makes some sort of unplanned exit. This will probably be an improvement to the current kleptocracy led by the Trump family

@MikeNellis European parliaments fire their prime ministers often. The US congress needs to learn this trick.

@clawrence @realEstateTrent The risks come from too much leverage and debt behind stock exchanges. Cash calls trigger selloffs and confidence tanks.

[Todd Allyn Flach @Todd_Flach]

@clawrence Yes, BUT, glasses with built-in microphones in front connected to integrated hearing aids in back I would buy. Just drop the camera and projectors

@gmeeus2 @electricfelix @janrosenow Electricity prices are still be dominated by imported natural gas that provides the marginal supply for the market. This will end after installing additional non-NG generation and battery+ storage to time-shift overproduction of PV and wind

@sjakhaaheim Elbusser med to akslinger bak lager mindre veiskader enn dieselbusser med bare en bakaksel. Totalvekt er ikke det direkte problemet. Her må mer kunnskap til i både innkjøpsavdelingen, journalistikk og kommentatorati.

@adam_dorr @hankgreen I take medicine to strengthen skeletal bone density to prevent osteoporosis later in life. More people should do this. When your bones break easily your quality of life literally falls irreversibly.

@SaThomas__ @JigarShahDC @EnergyEmpirePod This is simply not true. There is no shortage of lithium, which is found in meaningful quantities on every continent. Batteries made today do not use cobalt, some no lithium. Rare earth minerals: not rare, but everywhere but just very messy and expensive to extract and refine.

@KentAnder PV produserer overraskende bra i feb-mar i sør Norge når det er snø på bakken, kaldt og solskinn. Husk at vannkraft produserer minst i feb-mai før snøsmelting begynner, slik at strømpriser i denne tiden er høye. Dermed får PV i dør Norge veldig godt betalt sen vinter-vår.

[Todd Allyn Flach @Todd_Flach]

@EinarWilly @Bardar11 @NRKno Hadde vi installert 2-3 GW med PV paneller i sør Norge hadde vi hatt mye lavere strømpriser fra mars til september. Men da ville Statkraft og Statnett fått mye lavere inntekter. Som forklarer deres motstand til mer distribuert PV.

@adam_dorr The race is not over yet. USA and Europe can catchup fast with the right leadership

@MassFan2 @adam_dorr China has 1.3 billion people. Redo your tweet with per capita numbers and come back to us

@clawrence @Dylan_Morri Tweet of the week!!!!

[Todd Allyn Flach @Todd_Flach]

@OleOestlid @EinarWilly Vi burde investere mer i et system som utnytter ALLE typer vær. Vi utnytter snø/regn med vannkraft, vi kan utnytte vindvær med vindturbiner og vi kan utnytte solskinnsvær med PV paneler. Vi trenger en del batterier i tillegg så har vi verdens beste energisystem til kavest kost.

@MichaelEWebber And where is there enough cooling water? Gulf coast? Hurricane storm surge risk? Pleeeeease build your flood defenses appropriately.

@clawrence @RnaudBertrand China demanded that western auto manufacturers build factories in China. North America and Europe should do the same.

@adam_dorr @xai @Grokipedia Will AI finally break the shackles that the gatekeepers of scientific publishing have placed on peer-reviewed science?
