1/6 All – Trying to get the word out about my new book (Columbia University Press) on the law & politics of the transition to a low carbon economy (a/k/a "energy transition"). See link in last tweet (6/6). The book ships within the next week or two.

Proposed permitting reforms could accelerate both renewable energy projects and new fossil fuel infrastructure, but is it a good deal for the climate? Melissa Lott & Emily Grubert join Ed to unpack what this could mean for the future of energy in the US. okt.to/e8ou6P

Thrilled to see @HarryKennard join Webber Energy Group, contributing to their great work in understanding the #energytransition Congratulations, Harry! They’re lucky to have you and I’m sure you’ll have a blast working with Michael E. Webber Joshua D. Rhodes etc.. 🤘 webberenergygroup.com/people/dr-harr…

Excited to see Energy Policy Institute at UChicago India announce that their new Executive Director will be the one and only Kaushik Deb! Fantastic news all around. Look forward to seeing even more innovative work as the institute approaches its 10th anniversary. epic.uchicago.edu/news/epic-indi…

Will be cleaner and quieter, which benefits the drivers and the neighborhoods. Plus in 2019 I interviewed a London taxi driver who had an electric cab: he said that after an 8-hour shift he was less fatigued because the electric motor required less physical effort than an ICE.

Some states could still feel the need to attract data center developments that bring utilities new business that helps pay for routine electric grid upgrades, says Columbia Climate School professor Melissa C. Lott, PhD. Via The Washington Post. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Can’t wait to read this book by Eddie Fishman in the new year!

Solving climate change will require many technologies — including a robust set of solutions for supplying net-zero and net-negative power. It is exciting to see Elimini step fully into this space #scaleandspeed #climatesolutions #energytransition #ClimateWeek2024

🚨 Professional News 🚨 Friday marked my last day Columbia University Columbia Climate School. The past 5 years have been transformational for me, full of impact & major milestones. Reflections on the past 5 years + a preview of my next professional chapter 👇 linkedin.com/posts/melissa-…

Thanks to everyone who reached out to ask about my next professional chapter in response to today’s article by Financial Times Amanda Chu Update: I’m heading west and will be publicly sharing details on my new role just before Halloween 🎃 🤐 ft.com/content/b2a3a6…

26 GW for one wind turbine! That is bigger than some (early) whole wind farms! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Technology companies are increasingly looking to nuclear power plants to provide the emissions-free electricity needed to run artificial intelligence and other businesses. nytimes.com/2024/10/16/bus… via @NYTimes

“Big technology companies, which previously invested a lot in wind and solar energy, are now gravitating toward nuclear energy because they want power that is available around the clock while producing no greenhouse gas emissions.” nytimes.com/2024/10/16/bus…

Joshua Rhodes, an energy researcher at the University of Texas in Austin, said his own research shows wind energy is among the cleanest forms of energy. He estimated a wind turbine would offset the carbon spent to make it within one year. houstonchronicle.com/business/energ…
