We’re less than three days away from the total solar eclipse that will be seen in the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Science correspondent Miles O'Brien and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson have a viewer’s guide on what you need to know. to.pbs.org/43RTO2z

A brief earthquake, reported by USGS at 4.8 intensity, rattled the NY Metro area at approximately 10:24am ET today, April 5. Here's what LDEO seismometers showed! Learn more about some of our earthquake research via State of the Planet: news.climate.columbia.edu/tag/earthquake…

A very engaging & candid conversation, featuring some heavy hitters in the Indo-US energy & climate space at ORF America led by Shayak Sengupta . The word needs to get out that Ind-US relationship will be the bedrock of a successful energy transition.

Interesting morning here in New York --- for a moment it felt like I was back in Japan. Hopefully everyone is ok and it is just an 'interesting' start to the day.

Everyone's talking about rising demand for power. Google, Microsoft & Nucor are doing something about it. On The Energy Gang, I join Prof. Melissa C. Lott, PhD and Michael E. Webber to discuss the implications for low-carbon technologies. Find it here or on Apple, Spotify, etc: woodmac.com/podcasts/the-e…

Looking forward to this conversation here in a few hours!
