It pays (quite literally) to stay in queue. Do the work upfront and reap the rewards. And, #TC2 NUs were uncharacteristically low when compared with other cycles. #PJM #development #resourceadequacy

@chamath Have you thought about quantifying the downstream snowballing risk around data center permitting?

In a hyper polarized world of micro trends, #youcanseeeverything is the closest thing we have to a monocultural event! Every one comes off as imperfect, compromised, human. The creative team has done a fantastic job! Well worth the 3 hour watch.

@ATT and @Costco - just had the worst #customerexperience of my life. Frustrating and unhelpful. And all based on mistake that was not even mine! order was cancelled by the shipper and I being penalized and being told that I will have to wait another 7 days. Just lost a customer

China shoring up supply while the U.S. is still trying to figure out battery supply chains #energytransition #renewables #storage

@blairsocci Ahh, the lives we lead in safety of our minds!

If you build it they will come. #energytransition #renewables

Another example of regulatory capture. This time in Montana - a group of youth plaintiffs are taking the government to court, arguing that, by favouring fossil fuels over renewables, the state’s energy policies have violated their constitutional right. #policy #energytransition

The devil (as always) is in the details. In the absence of a price on carbon, achieving our Paris obligations will be very difficult.

“All this points to a fundamental problem of relying on finance to limit fossil fuels: it does not target the demand for them.”⁦@TheEconomist⁩ #climate #energytransition

(Green) Resource Nationalism - Over half of the world’s lithium, a metal used in batteries for electric vehicles, can be found in Latin America. The region also has two-fifths of the world’s copper and a quarter of its nickel. ⁦@TheEconomist⁩ #renewableenergy

the average grid connection in America in 2021 had taken three years to be completed, and that, as elsewhere, the lag was getting longer. By some estimates there is at least 1,400gw of new renewable capacity in America’s queues for connection. #resilience #energysecurity

Is it just me or is #SuccesionHBO just the godfather with a media twist?

Rice is a bigger source of greenhouse gas than any foodstuff except beef! #climatechange #ghg
