Could generically copying decarbonization strategies from the Global North and pasting them to the Global South lead us to inefficient solutions? In my debut as a columnist in Nature Journals, I address this question: rdcu.be/dPAx9 Nature Cities

Check out our latest paper. Some key findings: - Hydrogen storage reduces the cost and land use of a wind-and-solar-reliant electricity system for Oahu. - Switching to renewables may lower electricity costs in areas that rely on petroleum-burning generation.

You can disagree with a person's argument (or even parts of their argument) without deciding that they are a bad faith actor. Debate and disagreement, particularly over strategy, is a normal part of activism! That's my two cents on said climate twitter debate...

Can we reuse extensive natural gas pipeline networks to transport hydrogen in the future? A new study says 'Nope.' At least not without "significant retrofits and replacement" and even then, "serious safety and environmental risks remain." Open access: scijournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/es…

New study 🚨Tomorrow @FERC I'll present findings of a new electricity simulation analysis by Duke University's GRACE Lab on potential cost benefits of flexible interconnection service. Results🧵(1/9): • 72% lower grid upgrade costs • 75% fewer grid overloads • $112/kW avoided costs

Interconnection study timelines have nearly doubled across the US since 2017, except in ERCOT, where avg. timelines have actually dropped- such that ERCOT was almost 2X faster since 2020. #InterconnectionWeek
