1/6 All – Trying to get the word out about my new book (Columbia University Press) on the law & politics of the transition to a low carbon economy (a/k/a "energy transition"). See link in last tweet (6/6). The book ships within the next week or two.

Proposed permitting reforms could accelerate both renewable energy projects and new fossil fuel infrastructure, but is it a good deal for the climate? Melissa Lott & Emily Grubert join Ed to unpack what this could mean for the future of energy in the US. https://t.co/HuVnmJOTuM

[Joshua D. Rhodes @joshdr83]

26 GW for one wind turbine! That is bigger than some (early) whole wind farms!

“Big technology companies, which previously invested a lot in wind and solar energy, are now gravitating toward nuclear energy because they want power that is available around the clock while producing no greenhouse gas emissions.”

[Melissa C. Lott, PhD @mclott]

Technology companies are increasingly looking to nuclear power plants to provide the emissions-free electricity needed to run artificial intelligence and other businesses. https://t.co/hyFIoCOTXj via @NYTimes

Solving climate change will require many technologies — including a robust set of solutions for supplying net-zero and net-negative power. It is exciting to see @eliminicdr step fully into this space #scaleandspeed #climatesolutions #energytransition #ClimateWeek2024

[Elimini @eliminicdr]

Imagine what happens when the world’s change makers come together 🌏

No challenge is insurmountable.

We’re building a coalition to help transform our economies from carbon emitters to carbon removers:
