This is a great article acknowledging the importance of electric transmission infrastructure and its role in decarbonization. But even if that's not your cup of tea, read it for the energy zingers!

[Robinson Meyer @robinsonmeyer]

Electricity transmission is one of the most important topics in energy policy. It’s also absurdly complicated in a way that repels political engagement.

But I’ve come to think that Congress could vastly improve the status quo, now, with two simple fixes: https://t.co/Mt9QeQugo0

He’s back at it again folks! Thanks to John Predom (@snowdoghiker on IG) for sharing this! This project took 21,200 steps aka 10.1 miles and 6 hours to complete.

Thoughtful thread, and worth a read.

It was a month ago when I found this broken eagle while cleaning the Capitol after the insurrection. I kept it as a tender reminder of the enormous work ahead to heal. This is one of several symbols I want to share with you as we think what comes next for our nation (THREAD)

Seen one way, the federal fleet is just a drop in the ocean of American vehicles. Seen in another, it could provide a huge incentive for people to take a closer look at electric transportation https://t.co/Fb4OHCmcfc

Excited to see entrepreneurial activity in Downtown Rutland. Even more exciting to see the Rutland makerspace - The Mint - helping to turn an idea into a tangible, manufactured product. #rutvt #realrutland #makerspace

I wish I could go back and show my 28yo self, who worried she was going to be a colossal failure in her new job, and who wondered if she would ever find home again back in Vermont, that it would all turn out okay. :) https://t.co/fOzrw1peSa

Powerful clip. Not everyone gets to see the up close and personal view of the devastation - but it’s there - and we all need to do our part to keep each healthy and safe.

Trebek had a heart that was kind
And more than a curious mind.
An answer, he knew,
Was merely a clue
To questions we needed to find.

My favorite part of this NYT article is rural broadband's role in keeping some Minnesota chickens in line. #poultrypatrol #innovationeconomy

Great piece highlighting the power and potential of rural #broadband networks, and a proposal by @mattdunnevt from @Ruralinno on how to make it happen.
