Great piece by @MLiebreich outlining reasons for climate optimism. Trend lines on renewables look good even without policy. So let’s get some policy wins and accelerate these trends even faster!

What has been going on in @ERCOT_ISO the past few days?

tl;dr (which is funny because its 387 words): This is how energy-only markets work. The recent high electricity prices are a feature of the system, not a bug.

Texas is critical to reducing GHG emissions and finding innovative solutions. My take on what solutions TX could implement if policy makers can start matching the innovation sweeping across the Lone Star State: https://t.co/U9jCm2x0rO

Texas is shaping up to be a leader in yet another energy technology

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

Texas energy companies continue to advance new technologies that reduce carbon.

Exxon Mobil invests in Global Thermostat carbon capture technology.

interesting report, and not surprisingly it finds TX is the largest source of carbon capture in the US.

[Clean Air Task Force @cleanaircatf]

A year ago, US Congress passed 45Q tax credits for #carboncapture. New CATF study led by @DeepikaBhushan on impact of 45Q on US power sector #CCS finds 49 million tonnes of CO2 being captured & stored from US coal & gas plants by 2030. For full report see: https://t.co/CtkHwVWijb

For my Texas Republican friends, please read this: https://t.co/x87SF3Xa00. Key Quote: “there’s plenty of good reasons for regular red-state voters to back him [Nelson].” My top reason: Paxton is incompetent and indicted; Justin is a former Supreme Court clerk. @NelsonForTexas

After 7 awesome years I'm saying goodbye to @EnvDefenseFund & moving on to an awesome opportunity working on clean energy @MitchFound. For updates on methane keep up with @EDFEnergyEX. @EnvDefenseFund is full of amazing people making the world a better place. PS. Go Astros!

[drew nelson @ds_nelson]

Leading oil & gas companies + governments around the globe are taking action to reduce methane emissions. Europe is well-positioned to join this international community – will the EU Commission act? https://t.co/PYfAS0vm1h

What an amazing honor for an amazing person! Congrats @SergioSCleanAir! Since we first met 15 years ago, you have proven yourself many times over to be a passionate and effective environmental leader. @Josefa_GBOM is lucky to have you on her team and so are the people of Mexico.

[drew nelson @ds_nelson]

New analysis from EDF and @CleanAirInst shows Mexico’s proposed oil & gas methane regulations are in-line with international best practices, offers a few suggestions to strengthen the rules https://t.co/WgzCUNkhJu

@jluhnow you should read this article. @LMcCullers43 & @JustinVerlander understand violence against women is never acceptable. Perhaps you could sign the SAFE men’s pledge to show u get it too: https://t.co/dtr5FYZb5W. @SAFEatx #stopabuseforeveryone

High-profile corporations, including sports franchises, have a unique opportunity to stand up to domestic violence and abuse. By hiring someone who has been arrested for domestic violence, the corporation is condoning their violent behavior. https://t.co/DuJjY68fsN
