Coal and gas-fired power generation fell 2.6% in China in December as growth in solar and wind power generation exceeded the growth in demand. Nuclear and hydropower performance recovered from low levels last year as well, helping push fossil fuels down.

Great work @hal_harvey! We're delighted to inform you that "Designing Climate Solutions" made it to our list of best Energy Policy books of all time! https://t.co/VvRtvuKHOf

US adds 5.6 GW of utility-scale clean energy in Q1, up 28% year-over-year: ACP https://t.co/yeeAz9Nm6q via @UtilityDive

The long term trend is clear: solar and wind will be the backbone of the new energy systems and cars will swap combustion engines for electric ones.

CCS, nuclear, hydro, biofuels, etc. can play a valuable part, but it is optional and limited.

Decarbonizing industrial processes is vital. "Rondo Heat Battery captures intermittent electricity from solar and wind, stores the energy from that electricity as high-temperature heat in brick materials, and delivers the stored energy on demand..."

Good morning with good news: Drinks giant Diageo will replace natural gas-fired heat with Rondo Energy’s Heat Batteries at its plants in KY & IL.

Heat Batteries have 95% annual capacity factor while operating on input power as low as 15% capacity factor.

Today, I testified to the U.S. Treasury and IRS on the 45V clean hydrogen production tax credit, with my transcript below. I argued in favor of strong rules that are critical to stand up a successful, truly clean H2 industry. This excerpt hits a key point:

@TrudgeDMC @tylerhnorris @bradplumer Mr. @hal_harvey and I put a whole chapter about that in our book, The Big Fix. But in brief, just track down the Web site for the PUC or PSC in your state. They should have a whole mechanism set up to take written comments.

I've said it once, I'll say it again: one of THE most consequential policy actions to simultaneously help address climate change AND the cost of living in America is to build more, dense, transit+walking-oriented housing. All levels of govt should be working towards this goal.

[Leah Kral @LeahKral]

I found this book so helpful. Plenty of straight talk: "What is not strategic is to give to an organization based on its heartrending appeals, its charismatic executive director, or requests from your friends of business associates." Thank you @hal_harvey & Paul Brest!

Running on climate solutions is be a political advantage for Dems in 2020 if Trump continues denying reality - and @hal_harvey's "4 zeros" theory could be the winning platform, says @tomfriedman https://t.co/ykmPWjpC3Y

Good morning with good news: China will reach its 2030 wind and solar goal in 2024. Six years early! IEA reports it will add another 2000 GW of RE capacity by 2028. Wow! That's 4X EU and 5X USA additions.

China will install 55% of global RE thru 2028.

Al Gore weighs in on Kerry’s departure: “He has approached this challenge with bold vision, resolute determination, and the urgency that this crisis demands. For that the U.S. and the whole world owe him a huge debt of gratitude.” https://t.co/EnD4PVUVei

[Dan Esposito @DanEspo14]

The #45V debate isn't enviros vs. industry, and it never has been. Check out this fantastic new letter by industry supporters of a strong 3-pillars framework, with the collective plans to exceed 50 GW of electrolyzers and >6 MMT/year of truly clean H2.

Enjoyed this visual from a recent talk at #COP28, showing the amount of documentation required for permitting 3 new wind turbines

California’s consistent climate leadership has allowed us to create policies and investments to support decarbonizing our economy. We have a successful history of partnering with all levels of government, industry, & communities to achieve our climate goals. #COP28

[Sean Casten @SeanCasten]

We have a scope 3 problem. It is fantastic that the US domestic energy system is getting cheaper and cleaner. But if we ramp up O&G production and export we are making things worse, not better. https://t.co/OJMrrpKXDQ
