New exciting #PhD position in our group at TU Delft about energy system modelling and weather-dependent variability, with great flexibility in deciding the specific research direction autonomously (1/n)

[Francesco Lombardi @FrLomb]

A new paper in @OneEarth_CP provides wider context to our recent #SPORES paper (https://t.co/sbdsAZ4VWG). I thank a lot V.M. Nick and A.T.D. Perera for this very welcome discussion of our findings! -->

Development is accelerating thanks to users getting involved. Big shout out to @QuarkyPhysicist, @stefpf, @FrLomb, and @AdriaanHilbers 👏 #opensource #Python #energymodel

[Francesco Lombardi @FrLomb]

Planning highly renewable power systems involves compromise across diverse stakeholders. Is it possible to balance techno-economic feasibility with social and political goals?

Thread and new research on whether Europe would be better off building renewables locally everywhere, or only in the best locations and then providing more interconnection capacity. TLDR: could do it either way, costs not vastly different, think about resilience.

Not good. Clearly those subsidies have to go.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Countries are failing to curb emissions. A new report lays much blame on government subsidies for fossil-fuel industries https://t.co/4tgv2EZVKT

[Jessica Jewell 💙💛 @jessicadjewell]

We know how to save the climate in mathematical models but is it possible in the real world? @acherp & I propose a new method to explore feasibility of climate mitigation @WIREs_Reviews https://t.co/awki70mfKp, a sequel to my exchange w/ @KevinClimate https://t.co/FVmijFAY5L. /1

Hey @NewYorker, I fixed the headline for you:
"What if we stopped pretending that false prophecies of unavoidable doom are anything other than crypto-denialist narratives that favor an agenda of inaction?" (see: https://t.co/b9YzeRvPe6)

[Diana Urge-Vorsatz @DianaUrge]

OK comparison of travel option emisisons, but misses the key point: flying accelerates emissions by its very high emission intensity/time. U could never do 4 intercontinental car trips a year.
