Pretty on point cartoon. Gas prices need to go up... We should find some way to help people other than trying to force them down again.. trying hard to lower gas prices than emissions...

Last winter's extreme cold in the south is still reverberating through markets... That event is probably a better starting point of the current global "energy crisis."

It's local election day... But I'm not voting because there isn't a single competitive race on my local ballot...

I've been seeing a lot of press recently about various companies making flow batteries. Something I've pretty much never heard of until recently in the mainstream press. It's great to know new tools are coming online for the green energy revolution.

It's too bad we didn't start building the Milwaukee to Madison section of this "core route" 12 years ago. Hopefully funding is found again!

Bigger highways bring noise, air pollution, physical displacement, sprawl, and other ills. They maybe move traffic faster for 5 years. The main tool we continue to lean on to improve mobility and accessibility often makes things worse instead of better.

Interesting to see @BestBuy significantly expanding e-transportation offerings. Wouldn't be the first place I'd think to buy a bike!

[KyleSchroeckenthaler @schroeck_k]

Thought this was a great article and perspective.

The story is all about imbalanced supply chains, not really a lack of equipment. Perhaps labor shortages as well so ve port workers need some training even if they can be hired...

Following a report from Maersk, the narrative is all about US port congestion being the driver of sky high freight rates.

I've never heard of beach handball but shorts must be so much more comfortable to play in than a bikini...

Very interesting window-unit heat pump. Hope this actually goes to production reasonably soon at a reasonable price. Definitely looks easier than installing mini splits.

It's a surprise more utilities aren't on variable rates, although it seems like major renewable deployments might soon bring a big supply side component into what used to be primarily a demand management policy.

A lot of work to do... But at least orgs like IEA are trying to be realistic about what it will take.

Excellent to see a unanimous vote to eliminate parking minimums. Now the market can decide and people will have more choices. https://t.co/hFJXSIVsZs

This is really mind-bending... I feel like it must apply to only a slice of total housing stock... The ecological impact of such a short lived construction industry must be immense...
