Over the past 100 years, U.S. #corn production has increased more than 700% while planted area has decreased 10%. Incredible! 🇺🇸🌽💪 DOE/Argonne, CARB, & Treas Dept need to take note since #ethanol gets a 20pt CI ding for 'land use change'.. only change I see is a 700%⬆️in prdn

The real tragicomic thing was how the Admin spent the last two years bragging about “IRA implementation” while mostly dragging their feet (gutless approach to Tx/permitting reform, no final EV/hydrogen/tailpipe/power plant rules, terrible NRC nominees, etc).

A lot of people are saying ... Too bad the crowd that needs to hear this went over to Bluesky 😏

Despite the IRA, climate tech investment is now lower than during the final years of Trump 1.0

Since 2005, the United States has achieved the largest reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent emissions from energy and industry. However, these reductions have been offset by significant emissions increases in other countries, most notably India and China.

A really interesting study in Denmark on public acceptance around CCS projects "...each household’s willingness to pay for mitigating CO2 through carbon capture and storage technology ranges from 20–37 EUR/ton/year." Figure below drives home the point nature.com/articles/s4324…

US standards for clean Blue H2 seem awfully strict. I mean, do EVs need to use 95% clean electricity? Are there standards for EV upstream mining? IMHO, 95% capture is possible for ATR, but we don't provide the generous incentives needed to scale that tech.

Fine print: "this analysis is based on home charging only"

Electrify everything?

Basic economics tell us that increasing the load factor on the system is a good thing. That’s actually the core insight that led to the grid’s original creation. For many, it makes sense to reduce load 2-hours per year versus building tons of new G&T.

Oxy can produce oil to serve demand from primary extraction or through EOR EOR lowers oil carbon intensity, and prevents/delays new wells being drilled In a world that is demanding oil, shouldn’t this be the way it is produced?theverge.com/news/616662/ca…

"If this is a climate EMERGENCY, start acting like it: support all possible solutions..."

Don't electrify everything.

The last 14 months in Indy: - Purdue hoops in National Championship - Caitlin Clark drafted by Fever (& make playoffs) - IU football in first CFP - NCAA Regionals in Lucas Oil Stadium - Indy 500 sell-out - Pacers in NBA Finals Nowhere compares to our city right now! 🔥

Which tech would *already* be prevalent in homes today if people had always paid real time electricity prices? (H/T Jesse Peltan)

Textbook arguments for EOR ... Plus we need to jump start the CCS industry, right?
