ICYMI: @EricGimon and I released our lessons and policy recommendations from Texas’ Big Freeze winter storm. With the right approach, states can protect their residents from a range of crises, save people money, and facilitate the #cleanenergy transition.

NEW from @EricGimon and I: what drove February’s extended outages in Texas? In short, the gas infrastructure system starved the power grid, and inefficient buildings and poor public comms drove very high residential electricity demand. Read more here: https://t.co/hfcAF0DO61

[Dan Esposito @DanEspo14]

The Texas “Big Freeze” was covered as an isolated event, but climate-driven disasters are a rising threat to grid reliability everywhere. It’s essential for policymakers to learn the root causes of Texas’ crisis to act proactively (and appropriately) to protect their communities.

@UtilityDive published the second in a three-part op-ed series from @EnergyInnovLLC today on the February Texas power outages, including the causes, the extent of market failures, and ways to improve resiliency against extreme events https://t.co/qjfzoNVp6i

The gas industry is paying Instagram influencers to promote gas stoves. Yes, you read that right! So @AllanaHarkin becomes an induction stove influencer to draw attention to the harmful effects of cooking with natural gas. Featuring @bradytoday and @heidiismighty!

New research from @chrisbbusch finds used #EVs 🚗⚡️are cheaper to own than comparable used gas cars, making it the obvious choice for working families. The savings jump to 40% when adding @AirResources max incentive under the Clean Cars 4 All program! https://t.co/xVkFIABaCD

🚨New report🚨 from EI's @EricGimon identifies the causes of Feb.'s #TexasFreeze, explaining how @ERCOT_ISO failed both to prepare the state and manage the crisis + policy solutions for all grid regions as extreme weather events become increasingly common.

On the latest episode of @DecarbConnect our Industry Program Director @jeffrissman explains the cross-cutting technologies as well as #industry-specific tools that could define industrial #decarbonization, as well as policies to scale deployment!

"As debate intensifies around #Colorado’s next steps on #climate policy, new modeling shows implementing stronger policies, many of which are included as part of the state’s GHG Roadmap, can be a climate and economic boon," explains @Silvio_Marcacci.

"The risk you run by creating yet another incentive for nat gas is that we're locking in the existence of those plants for 20-30 years," @robbieorvis said. "That's not compatible with the type of electricity sector decarbonization that Biden has outlined."

.@CAGovernor Newsom's is doubling down on transportation electrification & his #ZEV package proposes to spend $3.2 B over the next three fiscal year for CARB, @CalEnergy & @CAGoBiz for #zeroemission vehicles, infrastructure & equity programs

"Continuing to grow and export a lot of U.S. gas is just not compatible with a 1.5-degree future," @robbieorvis said, "if we're serious about global emissions in the long run, we can't be exporting all that gas and just letting other countries burn it."

The 2035 Report's 'DRIVE Clean' scenario shows:
✅150,000 deaths avoided
✅$2.7 trillion in savings
✅$1.3 trillion avoided health & enviro damage
✅75% drop in ground transportation emissions
✅2 million new jobs
If we act & invest now. https://t.co/N0IO7oWQDK

"The introduction of a clean electricity standard sets a new bar for the federal gov, that likely would drive industry response. Any action by the @JoeBiden admin or through reconciliation would have a catalytic function," says @oboylemm via @scottpwaldman

California @CalEnergy just released its proposed 2022 new building code. Some climate progress, but CA needs to stop adding fossil-fuel buildings. These baby steps won't save our babies from the worst effects of climate pollution. #ClimateAction https://t.co/nysmXKo4OV
