@BrainsAndTennis @nicochristie Would love this.

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@andersen Deepest condolences, Ross, to you and your family.

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@Wertwhile Yeah, and Ange needs a striker who runs in behind anyways.

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@fullback03 Give it to Poch. Need someone who really believes in the club. If it’s a culture issue (which it is), the change needs to come from within, and I’d bet on Poch rather than someone new. Hate to say it, but it’s worked for the other lot with Arteta.

The @FT shortlisted our work supporting @commonfutureco's Character-Based Lending fund and the @Orrick Racial Justice Fellowship for 2022 FT Innovative Lawyers Awards. More to do, but proud to help Common Future make an impact in addressing inequality. https://t.co/vQXDRT5Rrk

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

Our work was also a finalist for the NYU Grunin Prize for Law and Social Entrepreneurship.

Racial injustice can't be addressed without tackling structural economic inequality. Glad to help @commonfutureco take real action.

@KSVesq This is the correct response. Might it just be zombie twitter for a while? Like, mechanically, how does this go down?

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@COYSeminoles @NathanAClark Today reinforces that Dier should only play in the middle of the back 3, as Nathan has said. We were better when Davinson and Doherty were on the right side (though fatigue for Dier is probably playing a part).

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@Wertwhile Yes! Without Royal, much less panicky. Also, Kulusevski and Doherty actually do something with his under/overlaps.

@USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter is in the house! No surprise he’s rooting for Jess Pegula. Hope @iga_swiatek will prove him wrong! @usopen

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@TennisPodcast Isn't that Gregg Berhalter behind you? He also knows how to go behind-the-back. https://t.co/anENe08hWS

[ESPN FC @ESPNFC]

USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter brought out the behind the back pass 😂🔥

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@MikeGrunwald True. Also: we're comparing two bills that are trying to do two different things. ARRA - kickstart RE buildout v. IRA - scale it up. So I hope the numbers would be different. Size isn't everything. Don't sleep on the green bank, either.

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@MikeGrunwald Also, what a great book!

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@MikeGrunwald Gross numbers annually, yes. But the longevity in the IRA counts for a lot, especially if this is supposed to leverage private dollars (which it will). Having the ITC & PTC last more than a couple years and then transitioning to a tech-neutral credit sends a huge market signal.

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@billmckibben @leahstokes Big thanks, @leahstokes.

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

By comparison, the 2009 Obama stimulus, which was the biggest clean energy bill at the time, was ~$90 billion for clean energy investments. $370B is big.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

Update on Inflation Reduction Act: This will be the biggest climate action in human history. $370B for investments in clean energy, clean transportation, energy storage, farming, home electrification, and clean tech. The planet is on fire. Let’s get it done.

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@MC_of_A @ThadCollins Specific performance is pretty rare; a court is unlikely to force a sale when only one party wants it. If Twitter wins, damages are far more likely. Even more likely is this gets settled before they go to trial.

[Walter Alarkon @walteralarkon]

@itsDK81 @stevehouf I think this is it. The first chart is total energy consumption and includes oil, which is used more for transportation than electrification. These charts together show why "electrifying everything" makes sense.
