The purest reason to make something is not to make money and not even to make the thing.
It’s to have the experience of making the thing - and no one can take that from you.
every year, roland garros (the french open) asks an artist to create a poster for the tournament
today, the collection has become an *incredible* display of tennis as modern art
let's take a look at some of the best ones — starting with this iconic 1984 poster by gilles aillaud
@BrendanFWallace Buy and retire $10B worth of credits in formal compliance markets. That’s the most direct route to forcing change.
As a technology investor, I’d finance infrastructure projects for solutions decarbonizing industrial heat.
@SilasMahner@scott_vinh at @bodhisolarcx for sure. Also Alex Farmer at Intel Ventures and Steve Maysonave and Juan Thurman at Southwest Angel Network. I’d recommend @clawrence but you already know each other.
Why the IRA (and similar legislation in other regions) is needed in one chart:
The US and Europe Have a Long Way to Go to Challenge China's Share of Global Manufacturing Capacity
All forms of energy require resource extraction. Reality is clean energy requires much, much less.
Human & environmental impacts must be minimized & we can do better. But if extraction is the concern, the choice is clear.

Unlocking 24/7/365 zero-emission electricity comes down to long-duration energy storage, which is why we’re betting on @NoonEnergy. More from @ClimaTechVC & Ariel Hyre on how Noon’s tech enables any system to run on 100% solar & wind at 10x lower cost: https://t.co/BV3BPOvzA5
At the core of #EnergyTransition & #CircularEconomy is how metals are mined, refined, & recycled to become “battery grade.”
The current process is bad. It needs expensive capex & 50k miles to/from refining.
But the innovation I see is inspiring!

Capacity additions are not generation, but they’re the first step.
Solar and wind winning on economics in ever-expanding locations is why this is possible.
Climate VCs have raised record cash because such economics make escape velocity possible for #CleanEnergy#energytwitter
Today, we’re happy to announce the promotions of two long-time valued team members:

Exponential technologies operate on exponential curves. Hard to model that type of market growth.
The 2030 estimate in 2021 for solar PV capacity is 30x the 2006 estimate! 4x for wind (both onshore + offshore).
