Hiroko Tabuchi The New York Times Some people might be afraid to criticize aspects of this study for fear of getting involved in a lawsuit. Assumptions include inability to avoid energy or process CO2 emissions, 3.5% CH4 leakage rate, and 20-year CH4 GWP. energyindepth.org/judge-rules-10… climatecasechart.com/climate-change…

Arguing about who or what is greener is a luxury we don't have anymore. I agree with Brentan Alexander: instead of splitting hair, we need to deploy technologies and bring solutions to the field (as many as possible!), in other words act now... #ClimateChange forbes.com/sites/brentana…

Always fun to see your name in print. Enjoyed sharing some thoughts on #EnergyStorage at the DOE Long Duration Storage Shot Summit last week! utilitydive.com/news/doe-eyes-…

Plundering the kids haul. Every once in a while being the parent rules.

Phew...#infrabill passed! Thrilled that the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations is funded...many that come to New Energy Risk are stuck at the demonstration valley-of-death: great technologies but need support to prove them at scale. forbes.com/sites/brentana…

20+ inches overnight. 80+over 5 days. Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe highway closed, 267 to Northstar California closed, 89 to Palisades Tahoe closed (avalanche). Guess we're staying inside today!

🧵... Puts a name to the NIMBYism and web of regulation created in its wake, which makes building infrastructure much harder than it should be. If the status quo is the problem, then why are regulations set up to protect it?

"'Cost-disease environmentalism' refers to the process of enacting policy to stimulate demand, such as grants and tax incentives, without bothering to address the structural problems that inhibit supply.” Brentan Alexander riffing on my City Journal piece forbes.com/sites/brentana…

The environmental movement of the last generation was partly organized around stopping things. But to save the planet we are going to have to build things at an unprecedented speed and scale. We need to make it easier, not harder, to build big, planet saving projects.

With new carbon removal projects starting up, how can early stage companies secure project financing? Learn on July 26th with: Brentan Alexander from New Energy Risk, and Philip Moss from South Pole Moderated by @wagnerhfx REGISTER: lu.ma/cdr-project-fi…

Wrote this a month ago, re-upping now with all the noise in DC around permitting reform & the CR. Reform will surely help some fossil projects, but clean projects need this too. Defending the status quo isn't helpful. forbes.com/sites/brentana…

I've made two of these. Used my Prius to power the house during public safety power shutoffs. But agree don't do this I don't trust any of you. gizmodo.com/cspc-amazon-wa…

My latest opinion in The Hill on the next big climate policy priority: permitting reform. US climate goals are achievable — if we can get the permits thehill.com/opinion/energy…

“The Environmentalists Undermining Environmentalism.” Fantastic piece on failures of NEPA and the poor reasoning used by enviro and enviro justice groups to continue it. We need reform or the IRA will fail and we will fail to address climate change. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Capacity will be the #1 bottleneck for alt proteins. Great talk yesterday from synonym.bio discussing how financing works for large capacity-building infrastructure projects. Sign up to attend these seminars at (gfi.org/community/) youtube.com/watch?v=pY3JQK…

Been riding a cargo ebike for months. Jumped on my old bike today and got off twice thinking it was broken. So slow! Pedal force relationship with bike speed did not compute...normal bikes now ruined forever. Worth it.

I can’t fucking believe this happened I’m so happy

I'll contribute to the pics.... Aurora from near Oakland looking north over briones reservoir

1/ Okay, it's time to weigh in on the permitting discussion. The letter from 118 climate scientists opposing the bipartisan EPRA bill is really upsetting and full of misinformation: x.com/dan_kammen/sta…
