a fantastic source for the methods interests can use to undercut the momentum of policy change and how to fight them. can’t recommend highly enough #ActOnClimate#policylockin
@leahstokes is a big reason the most important climate legislation in history passed last week.
1 way to say thanks is to buy her book. You’ll learn a lot too.

Big news happening in Boston right now, as @MayorWu announces the city's intention to ban fossil fuels in new buildings. https://t.co/V3JLGoAMt7 via @BostonGlobe
sorry but how did I miss that 'monsters inc' is a metaphor for the energy transition, they go from powering their city with screams to powering it with laughter, could not be more obvious.
The Inflation Reduction Act includes $9.7 billion to help electric co-ops move to clean energy
Co-ops' rural service territories hold great potential for renewable energy, yet they remain particularly reliant on coal
This will support a clean energy transition in rural America
Manchin deal w/ Schumer, Dems includes $369 billion for climate & energy, saying it will reduce emissions 40 percent by 2030 while lowering energy costs.
This is an obvious but important point.
Energy efficiency is electrification and electrification is energy efficiency.
That used to be questionable but scaling of heat pump tech has aligned these concepts. Electrified end uses use less total energy than fossil end uses (Yay!)
A major shout-out to @californiapuc's Energy Division for the publication of a thought-provoking proposal for a new retail market / rate design structure.
Done right, it could create the world's first, genuinely two-sided electricity market where demand actively participates.
just finished #kimstanleyrobinson New York 2142. it does the impossible— imagines the #deathOfCapitalism. it just takes 2 tideline shifting ice sheet collapses, a devastating hurricane, 2 global depressions, and the nuking of some polar bears. #Clifi at its best.
