🚀 New pub launched with former student & U-Macao colleagues. We find decarbonization efforts ignoring heat wave health risks could raise social costs. Then we show how to optimize power grid decarbonization for heat waves. dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...

1y since my parents' house burned in the Altadena wildfires. @SoCalGas offers appliance rebates for victims but demands install by 12/31/25. Nearly 0 homes are rebuilt. This deadline is unrealistic. @SoCalGas claims to support victims but excludes them through fine print. Not ok.

Ford's cancellation of the F-150 Lightning is a bummer for EV enthusiasts. Was Toyota correct all along with their "1:6:90 rule"? That is, for every 1 EV, you can build 6 PHEVs or 90 HEVs with equal raw materials. What do you think? www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-...

Very proud of former @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social 🐻 & alum Fernando Mendoza for winning the Heisman. He did everything the right way: hard work, gracious, and took nothing for granted. 💙 💛 🧸 Watch his speech: www.espn.com/college-foot...

After 1 week using Tesla FSD (supervised) v14.2.1, I have TWO thoughts: 1) It's truly AMAZING. After not using FSD for ~9 months, the improvement is remarkable. It feels like maturing from a teenage driver to a professional Uber driver.

LOL.
