Hey Google: Gemini 3 says you should hire me too, as an “Architect of Infrastructure Impact". I’d be delighted to add this to my biz life, on any basis. Call me. Please share, help me make my case 😉 “Google Is Cornering the Market on Energy Wonks” heatmap.news/energy/googl...

Impact weight all risk analysis. Act on that analysis. Or, get crushed by everything you are ignoring and by those doing your job better than you are. You choose. “COP30 Moved Adaptation Goals to 2035. The Financial Risks Arrive Sooner.” www.esgtoday.com/guest-post-c...

Climate change costs aren’t ‘hidden’, they’re ignored. Worse, their persistence means these costs compound…as do the rewards if/when we decide to really invest to attack these costs. “Climate change's hidden price tag: 12% drop in our present income”  phys.org/news/2025-12...

I’m excited to lead this event, and others, focused on the urgency of the energy transition. All industries have unique challenges, like hospitals do, the focus for the event below. But, the energy transition is always vital for the same reasons: better economics and outcomes.

Energy is one of the largest and most controllable cost reduction levers available to hospitals. With utility rates rising, operating margins under pressure, and mandatory emissions reporting, reliance on fossil fuels poses a direct risk to hospital solvency and community health.

I'm really honored to be doing this webinar/briefing: "The Urgency of the Energy Transition for Massachusetts Healthcare Tuesday, January 13 | 12 - 12:45 p.m." Sign up and attend if you can. Spread the word. mhalink-research-education.informz.net/informzdatas...

This wonderful essay also helps to put the modern venture capital ‘unicorn’ focus into useful context as well: “to follow the lineage of the unicorn is to encounter the meeting point of science, natural history, generously lunatic myth and human desire” www.ft.com/content/5f8b...

“You must bear losses like a soldier…bravely and without complaint, and just when the day seems lost, grab your shield for another stand, another thrust forward. That is the juncture that separates heroes from the merely strong.” ― Margaret George, The Memoirs of Cleopatra

Hanukkah makes you think deeply about light. Humans have embraced the learning, and the progress from learning, of light for 400,000 years www.economist.com/science-and-... The Trumpetista Deat Cult wants to return us all to darkness, to reverse all arcs of human progress. Fight back.

VPPs are indistinguishable from peakers now. Grid operator VPP ‘confidence’ is not a tech challenge, it’s a culture challenge 100% anchored in the bizarre ways they get paid — until that changes, grid operators will keep making up excuses to refuse VPPs. pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/12/18/s...

Like everyone else, I love Jamie Lee Curtis. And, I too am looking to be ‘unleashed’ in my 60s … but, in my case as an impact entrepreneur and investor. Anyone wanna come ‘unleash’ me? 😉 www.ft.com/content/2ba7...

Super inspiring to learn more about this first of a kind deployment of a new energy source, closed-loop geothermal @jessejenkins.bsky.social @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social. As climate challenges worsen, solutions get better. Deploy, deploy, deploy. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Cowardice is not a good thought leadership strategy, it’s not any kind of a strategy. “With government credibility weakened, business has the influence to lead on sustainability — but only if it finds the courage to speak clearly and meaningfully.” trellis.net/article/unsu...

Inspiring. Now, imagine the progress if it didn’t have to battle the constant hectoring, bloated corruption, and whining of every single part of the current energy ecosystem? “California: Fossil Gas use Declining, replaced by Solar Plus Megabatteries” www.juancole.com/2025/12/cali...
