Congratulations to Melanie Kenderdine, the Women’s Council on Energy and the Environment 2025 Woman of the Year, from all her friends at the @EFIFoundation. Melanie's contributions to clean energy and innovation throughout her career make her most deserving of this recognition.

Low-carbon markets continue to develop at varying paces, emphasizing the need to accurately track and measure carbon emissions. By synthesizing financial accounting principles and carbon mass engineering fundamentals, @efifoundation.org has put forward a ledger-based carbon accounting system.

“If we can address both legacy and current emissions, we are way ahead of the game.” In a recent interview with @climategroup.bsky.social, @efifoundation.org Founder and CEO @ernestmoniz.bsky.social discusses the missing piece in mitigation strategies & importance of continued innovation.

Energy innovation isn’t always about big breakthroughs, it’s also about steady improvements that cut costs and expand access. Thank you, @climategroup.bsky.social, for hosting these important conversations this week in New York.

Now more than ever, the DOE should support end-to-end innovation to address energy demand. Building a staff that boosts U.S. competitiveness in the energy sector is the answer. @efifoundation.org's policy brief analyzes the impact of staffing cuts on DOE’s support of American energy innovation.

I spoke with @nytimes.com's Lisa Friedman about shifting energy policy as electricity demand is rising. The U.S. needs strong coalitions with an all of the above approach, rather than favoring individual energy sources. Full article by @bradplumer.bsky.social & Lisa Friedman:

In case you missed my conversation with James Cameron & @camanpour.bsky.social, you can watch below. We discussed the power of storytelling to reframe the debate around nuclear weapons & how to mobilize the public to demand policies that pull us back from the nuclear brink.

It was a pleasure to speak at Aspen Ideas: Climate for a panel on “Rethinking the Rules for the Future of Carbon Accounting,” where I spoke with Mindy Lubber and @heidiheitkamp.bsky.social on necessary improvements to global carbon accounting.

This week, I had the pleasure of meeting with Governor @jbpritzker.bsky.social in Chicago to talk about the state's energy transition and his determination to make Illinois the world's center for quantum computing. Many thanks to @aspeninstitute.bsky.social for two days of stimulating conversations.

Geologic hydrogen has the potential to be a transformative force in decarbonization efforts. I look forward to discussing the future of this promising resource during an @efifoundation.org webinar on the current state of its exploration. Join us here: efifoundation.org/GeoH2Webinar

As major technology companies plan new data centers in Minnesota, growing energy demand presents various challenges and opportunities in the state. I’ll be discussing this increased demand with Ryan Long of Xcel Energy this May 28 on our upcoming webinar. Register: efifoundation.org/MNEnergyFuture

I am saddened by the news of Pope Francis’s passing. From the beginning of his papacy, His Holiness urged us all to consider the moral and ethical dimensions of how we shape the future, as captured in his 2015 encyclical ‘Laudato Si’, On Care for Our Common Home. (1/4)

I had the honor of being the keynote speaker at the launch of @cfr.org’s Climate Realism Initiative this week. @npr.org's Mary Louise Kelly moderated a discussion about the need to set achievable goals and build lasting coalitions to assure a clean energy future. Watch: www.cfr.org/event/climat...

It was a pleasure to join Fox Business and discuss innovative nuclear solutions like Terrestrial Energy’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor. This reactor model uses molten salt as a coolant to reach higher heat levels, a critical step towards meeting rising energy demand. Watch here:

The @efifoundation.org team had an action-packed week at #CERAWeek 2025. I was pleased to take part in conversations on accelerating innovation in low-carbon energy technologies amid a changing political climate. We remain committed to the transition and look forward to continuing conversations.

I am excited to be on Bluesky to continue promoting the transition to a clean energy economy. This month, @efifoundation.org released our Annual Report, including a letter from me about our current climate realities, and the path forward. Read it here: efifoundation.org/insights/fou...
