It has come to my attention that I have done insufficient self-promotion & some of you don't even know I have a podcast. I do! It's called Volts & it's about clean energy. And -- if I may say so myself -- it's been on a bit of a roll lately. A 🧵.
Wind, solar, and battery storage dominate new resource proposals in the ISO New England Interconnection Request Queue. Resources proposed as of January totaled 31,840 MW. Learn more: iso-ne.com/static-assets/…
Today @POTUS and @VP announced the American Climate Corps — an initiative to train young people for careers that help tackle climate change. This is an important step forward, and wouldn't be possible without the organizing efforts of young people across the country.
Today, we are mobilizing the next generation of clean energy, conservation, and climate resilience workers. Join us at whitehouse.gov/ClimateCorps
Every "but what about...?" argument against human-caused climate change is already covered by @skepticscience's handy list; so why won't it convince people? Because it's never been about science or facts. It's solution aversion so any excuse that justifies that position will do.
Indeed. We are not as addicted to fossil fuels as some might want you to think. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
A common confusion is that to decarbonise, the world will need to produce the equivalent of coal, oil & gas in the form of low-carbon energy. That's not true. Most fossil energy gets wasted. In the US, just one-third gets turned into useful services. The rest is wasted as heat.
Glad to see grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) starting to catch on. Such a low-hanging-fruit way to get more out of the existing grid when we desperately need it. npr.org/2023/08/13/118…

Why lasers could help make the electric grid greener
Thousands of renewable projects are waiting to connect to the grid, but there aren't enough transmission lines. Some tech companies have faster and cheaper solutions.
FEMA and Corps of Engineers are focusing on centralized fossil rather than distributed solar + batteries in rebuilding Puerto Rico's fragile grid -- wrong move from climate and environmental justice perspectives, writes @RuthSantiagopr in Sabin Center guest blog.

Best quote in government goes to Commissioner Clements in her statement on interconnection: "Staff has been working nights and weekends for months, their families and friends have been subjected to interconnection policy discussions at the dinner table, their toddlers know...
Here's the best, accessable, review of AMOC science you're likely to see this week:
Here's a thread in pictures about the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC which is making headlines this week. I've studied this topic since 1991 and will show key data and models & some video. Let's go: observed temperature trend since 1901 from nature.com/articles/nclim… 🧵1/x
First @ilyseh, now @AimeeWitteman -- they are building quite the kickass team over at @rewiringamerica! rewiringamerica.org/press-release/…

FERC Chevron doctrine fight arrives at Supreme Court
Utilities are wading into a high court slugfest over the power of federal agencies to legally defend rigorous environmental rules.
🎺🎺🎺 FERC will release new standards for utility and RTO generator interconnection processes. A tiny bit of background:

Reminder: the whole anti-ESG campaign has been created and pushed by fossil fuel interest groups such as the American Petroleum Institute thehill.com/policy/equilib…
In the US, ... 'Evidence suggests that the hearing was being pushed by companies opposed to ESG because it might hurt their businesses.' Follow the money on ESG attacks - on.ft.com/3OgM2Js
A great thread on work led by @MadedduSilvia that we reference A LOT about the electrification potential in the industry sector. Spoiler alert: nearly all industrial heat demand can be electrified.
"Electrification is for buildings and cars but not for industry" we sometimes hear. Not so fast: Research by @PIK_Climate suggests that 78% of Europe's industrial energy demand (excl. feedstocks) is electrifiable with existing tech and up to 99% with tech under development. 🧵
A meta-analysis of 9 different models concludes that IRA will reduce US greenhouse gas emissions between 43 and 48% below 2005 levels by 2035. Such an epochal turning point, understood & appreciated by so few voters. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
so many of the policy-relevant journal articles by economists on climate are not in econ journals
New in Science: Our multi-model comparison of the Inflation Reduction Act looks at its emissions and energy system impacts, showing that economy-wide emissions may drop 43-48% below 2005 levels by 2035 with accelerated clean energy deployment. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
.@T4America's analysis of last year’s awards found that the amount of funding being sought for zero-emissions bus projects well exceeded the amount of funding available, with only 33 percent of applications receiving grants. bit.ly/44iBUVI
