new website, who dis

(also go play the easter egg game, it's fun)

@HumansInControl

[Jon Warnow @jwarnow]

so we just overhauled our homepage for @HumansInControl and i want to explain a few of the big changes we made...and get some feedback from all of you!

first up, here's the new "hero" section up top.

[Humans in Control @HumansInControl]

Announcing our new nationwide campaign: AI Reality Check.

The companies building AI admit they don't fully understand it or control it – and they're racing ahead anyway.

AI Reality Check is a nationwide campaign about what that means for our jobs, our kids and our future.

[Joshua Siegel @SiegelScribe]

Industry group @USCleanPower shared data with @kelseytam and me showing that all 10 of the states with the lowest renewable deployment have seen price increases this year, while states with the highest penetration of solar and wind saw their prices fall

[Chris Elmendorf @CSElmendorf]

A $650m project would:
- subtract 20 acres from wildlife refuge
- add 35 acres to same refuge
- connect 160 renewable energy projects to grid

Not with NEPA + local enviros standing in the way. Even after "years" of enviro study.

my passion is graphic design🎨

the complexity of the permitting process in this country is difficult to explain (in words, and visually).

hopefully the ACP team and I made it a bit more understandable :)

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

PROBLEM: Energy projects have been bogged down in red tape, slowing our clean energy transition

SOLUTION: Our SPEED & Reliability Act! It accelerates the interregional transmission permitting process to lower energy costs and create more jobs! ⚡🔌

[American Clean Power (ACP) @USCleanPower]

With the passage of historic federal incentives, record announcements of new clean energy manufacturing facilities are ushering in a new age of manufacturing in America.

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

This is a big problem

[Claire Wayner @ClaireWayner]

(2/5) "Many delays inherent to the review process have to do with basic errors like agencies not coordinating with one another and doing things consecutively rather than concurrently or having different project management software that can’t work together."

[Science Is Strategic @scienceisstrat1]

Red states are huge winners of the new Green Industrial Revolution.

Short thread 🧵 below on how the IRA will be a huge economic driver of investment and job creation in Red America (1/15)

[American Clean Power (ACP) @USCleanPower]

It takes 4.5 years on average to permit a clean energy project. It took 5 years to build the Golden Gate Bridge. We're #ReadytoBuild a brighter future, one that prioritizes clean energy & economic development, but permitting processes must first be reformed. Let's make it happen.

[Eric Hittinger @ElephantEating]

Build, baby, build! is the new slogan for environmentalism. As evidence that I've been on this team for a while now ("I liked this band before it was cool..."), here is a slide I've used the last 2 years on my last day "wrapup" of big ideas in my Energy Policy course.

[Mark R. Stover @atx_markstover]

Have climbed towers with these pros, and they are pros. Really something to watch. Great to be a part of an industry providing valuable jobs and economic development in rural America. Let’s keep it going. #txenergy #txlege https://t.co/bviKLJyTAD

[Jamie Henn @jamieclimate]

This is mind blowing: gas stoves are increasing childhood asthma as much as secondhand smoke.

[Will Sturgeon @wsturgeon_]

@curious_founder Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson is brilliant (read it this year, but released in 2020)

[Mathias Einberger @MattEinberger]

When people ask me why I'm so obsessed with transmission planning and that obscure organization called @FERC (they don't, but if they did, I would show them these two maps #energytwitter):
Left: How we currently plan the US power system
Right: The events we should be planning for

[American Clean Power (ACP) @USCleanPower]

NEWS: We are thrilled to announce that @JasonGrumet has been named the new CEO of ACP. Grumet's extensive experience in #energy policy & bipartisan advocacy are critical to advancing our work at this inflection point for the industry and the organization. https://t.co/RyicSVphpY

[Jesse D. Jenkins @JesseJenkins]

But why should we act when China isn't? Oh wait... 🤔

[Bill Weir @BillWeirCNN]

My visit to @babcockranchfl the 100% solar-powered village of 2,000 homes that never lost power during Hurricane Ian, and thanks to resilient planning and wetlands protection, did not flood.

[brad plumer @bradplumer]

A leading renewables trade group says that without permitting reform, roughly 100 gigawatts of clean energy expected to be deployed by 2030 is at risk of not being built: https://t.co/PgrZWRxAgX

@jason_ACP you're on thin ice!!!
