Energy and environment for @StateDept. Sometimes I write about climate. No longer active on this platform.

Commercial Development Co. bills itself as North America’s leading redeveloper of industrial brownfields, but many of the properties currently or previously in the company’s portfolio remain untouched.

Thank you to @FundFIJ for supporting this work, and to @caroline_jones_ for all her help along the way. Please note, the content of this article has no bearing on my work for the State Department, and the bulk of reporting was completed prior to starting there.

Last spring, I was writing about an old coal plant property in Indiana that had been sitting unused for almost a decade. Who would buy a contaminated site like that, I wondered, only to leave it undeveloped? 🧵

This article explores some of those stories—and how companies like CDC can earn money in the gray areas of U.S. environmental law. Read the article here: https://t.co/XIfDp0dlHh

I wrote about what it’s like when the world’s foremost source of weather and climate data went offline during Hurricanes Helene and Milton, exactly when it was needed most https://t.co/4ELPimfgF5

Dog Emhoff (“Emmie”) is looking for her forever home. Lover of hugs and stuffed animals, mortal enemy of personal space—she’s a wiggly, affectionate, house-trained sweetheart who is available for adoption now. DM me or share with anyone who might be interested!

Absolutely losing it right now. There's an iconic scene in Shrek 2 where Fairy Godmother sings 'Holding out for a Hero.' She starts by telling the pianist, "Put it in C minor," and then he... PROCEEDS TO PLAY THE ENTIRE SONG IN G MINOR?!? How did we let them get away with this??

A professional update: On Monday, I'll be joining the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Energy Resources (ENR), where I'll be supporting the global shift to secure, low-carbon energy. I can't wait to get started!
