Thanksgiving continues to be my favorite holiday, but wow does the whole. Drinking a whole bottle of Glühwein and eating a pound of carbs and butter brick your body for a full day lmao.

Why has it been so much easier to build interstate gas lines than interstate electric transmission lines? This report has some answers: cleanenergygrid.org/wp-content/u...

It's Nobel Prize week! A good time to remember that the economics prize was created by Swedish bankers in 1968 (67 years after the 5 original Nobel prizes) against the wishes of the Nobel family, partly to legitimize neoclassical economics in the public eye and partly to help banks avoid regulation.

The world's first carbon border tax is about to go live, roiling — and possibly reshaping —global trade share.google/yTtxujzkAx8a... 🔌💡

Technologically advance a band: Queens of the Bronze Age

I love going back to cities where my ties are still strong, even after all this time. And just spending the whole weekend biking, walking, and enjoying a walkable liveable environment with my friends on the last days of summer. Nothing beats it

Cool new AER paper uses data from Clean Air Act offset markets to assess the efficiency of air pollution regulation. The analysis finds that marginal benefits of abatement exceed mean offset prices more than ten-fold, across most regions and pollutants.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

Nothing sums up the current political climate quite so well I think. I think civility is particularly prized, as generations of Americans have been moving towards this right wing extremism that requires a base of complacent people, with aggressive leaders open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

How is it cheaper to become a certified installer and install your own PV system in the US, than it is to get it installed. This is an embarrassment honestly. No reason a home pv system to cost 4$/w

New paper. I wish this wasn't the case, but most progress on reducing US greenhouse gas emissions is likely spurious. Why? EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas. Relevant today as Repubs vote to gut IRA's methane monitoring/mitigation program. 🧵 authors.elsevier.com/a/1lL4K_6se4...

Yes, this is also an abundance subskeet.

BREAKING: The Trump administration says it's reviewing all 55 million people with U.S. visas for potential deportable violations.

Coming back from my first music festival. Great time, lots of great music. Wild way to live for a week though

Man I decided to watch the old naked gun 33 1/3 in honor of the new one and I forgot how much of the humor has not aged at all. The trans punchline at the end is fucked up. Makes me sad

I recently biked to Prague over a couple of days. And it's a beautiful way to travel but also very humbling.

You ever have those months where you just want to be a gremlin and disappear, where it feels like all your friends are living lives without you, and nothing will ever change that

The Eastern US (and Canadian) grid was hit by a prolonged early summer heat wave this week. How did grid operators keep the lights — and cooling — on during the stressful period? @gridstatus.io has a great deep dive here: blog.gridstatus.io/early-heat-s... 🔌💡

I wish I could have that crumb of serotonin I had the week after Eurovision

After trying to climb outdoors for the first time, I realize how. Bad I am at climbing, despite going regularly for over a year now. Just wondering when or if I'll ever get better

I will never get over how smokers think it's okay to smoke indoors at bars and such. Honestly incredibly antisocial behavior

The protesters have turned on the Waymos

Nothing like returning to the Internet after being in the mountains for 5 days. Here's hoping I didn't miss anything important

Taking the train to going camping is a new one for me. But I'm looking forward to being back in the alps

It's interesting to see how my life has changed in just over a year. From going from being all alone in a new city, to a house full of friends. What a crazy night

The story of industrial carbon capture in a nutshell ...

Btw the perfect weekend is getting lost in the woods with your friends and finding new paths. Less perfect is being called by work 4 times doing so but we do our best

This is still very clearly the climate story of the week, and possibly the year.

youtu.be/11eTG4_iwqw?... Required watching for those who get caught in the cross hairs of freakonomics

Cumin is the best spice The humble soybean is the most impressive bean Germans make the best bread and it's not close Most sodas are too sweet and could be fine with half as much sugar

As I am winding up my trip, i managed in a week to walk 100 miles, meet old friends in New places, eat so much vegan food, and finally learned what's the deal with British beer. It's been a good time. Although the Eurostar still sucks

Some things about British food have been. Tough as a vegan traveler. But the curry has been pretty damn good

I'm still kinda shocked at how different everything here is in the UK. The rail vs road infrastructure, the food here. The people especially.

🧵 None of the humans with autism in our lives need curing & RFK & everyone like him can go to hell

I'm always surprised to remember that like. Most people commute and travel by car. I've been car free so long now that it just isn't even a consideration

There's something funny about watching phantom of the Opera as an adult and remembering just how much of an incel the phantom is

It's nice that London has directions for how you're supposed to look on every street. Because otherwise I would forget and have been hit 17 times today

Tranquility is a cup of coffee on a quiet morning

Somehow taking the Eurostar is even worse a train experience than in Spain (security on the high speed rail) Having an hour preboarding+ security process is ridiculous for a train. Completely unnecessary

Es ist krass wie stark die negativen Strompreise sind heute. Frühling ist hier 🌞

I can't believe there are whole journals out there dedicated to publishing drivel as faux science. Literally I just saw a paper with grok as the lead writer for it 🤮

Good morning! Watch the atmosphere fill up with CO2... More figures here: robbieandrew.github.io/ppm/

Well I had a long weekend. Very nice, but glad to be heading home. Head is very clear and we're going to get shit done this week

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.

pool water blue is out on vinyl now!!!!!!! ❄️💧❄️💧

It's interesting. I work for an energy company that has. Historically been a large player in fossil fuels, but has transitioned to renewable energy/is transitioning. There's a new lawsuit against them for their role in climate change, which seems fine to me. But man do my coworkers not agree
