Been living between a bunch of airbnbs the past month while my house is being repaired and after using induction for a decade, gas stoves suuuuuck. Gas stoves are so slow to boil water and heat up pans. Induction is hot magic.

"Clark et al. (2016) showed that decisions made in the next few decades will lock in sea level rise, ice sheet loss, and temperature change that persist for thousands of years — well beyond any planning horizon human civilization has ever contemplated."

This seems suboptimal

DC Climate Week starts Monday. 500 people in DC for the Opening Ceremony. Sold out. But you can watch live — globally, free — starting 1:30 PM ET. Come listen to @jigarshahdc.bsky.social, @ericwesoff.bsky.social, and more with @canarymedia.com streaming it worldwide. youtube.com/live/lmIe7UUtg6E

A major criminal trial following Ohio’s utility bailout scandal ended with a hung jury. Here’s how complex energy issues may have derailed jurors.

Renewables just outpaced gas in power generation. Why? They’re quicker to scale and cheaper for ratepayers. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

Congrats to @canarymedia.com on 5 years!

This doesn’t mean every region is Texas or California. Winter peaks, land constraints, permitting, and transmission bottlenecks are all real. But those are reasons to model the system better — not reasons to default back to expensive thermal thinking.

The best thing about used EVs these days? The price tag. Used EVs are more attractively priced than ever — and through-the-roof gas prices are pushing more and more buyers to snap them up.

California’s biggest virtual power plant program has helped relieve grid strain and curb price spikes. Will the state keep funding it through this summer?

Most homes have the power they need to switch to electric appliances, even if they don’t realize it.

It’s arguably less a war than it is just a string of war crimes

Never too soon to start sending these people to prison

I'm old enough to remember when Google's motto was "Don't Be Evil," not "Eh, Fuck It, Evil's Good Enough" open.substack.com/pub/michaelt...

We bought my brother-in-law's old 2010 Prius a couple months back, and that turned out to be a very prescient investment. Switching to an EV or a hybrid doesn't have to mean dropping $50k on a brand new model.

Gloucester, Massachusetts, is losing wind turbines that once offset as much as 70% of its power demand. What comes next?

Panel upgrades often keep homes from electrifying. This new study shows they may not have to.

Arizona regulators say killing the state’s renewable energy standard will cut power bills. An official economic analysis raises doubts.

Plug-in “balcony solar” is steamrolling through New England’s state legislatures, with Maine poised to be the region’s first to legalize these DIY clean energy solutions.

Maine is taking another crack at an onshore wind buildout — and this time, it’s got its neighbors onboard.

Wind and solar installations hit another global record last year. Here’s how much got built.

I am one of those in the area who is mourning this loss. I loved seeing the turbines on drives to some favorite beaches, and local businesses at the tip of Cape Ann. What a sad loss for the residents - environmentally and economically. www.canarymedia.com/articles/win... via @canarymedia.com

Really nice piece from Sarah Shemkus of @canarymedia.com www.canarymedia.com/articles/win...

Clean energy is helping shield these countries from skyrocketing fossil fuel prices.

All 6 New England states are considering legalizing balcony solar — a plug-in clean energy solution that’s as easy to assemble as an Ikea bookcase.

It’s going to cost billions of dollars and take a decade or more to build out completely. But if all goes to plan, it could provide about a fifth of the state’s clean energy needs by 2040 — and California needs all the clean energy it can get. www.canarymedia.com/articles/enn...

It’s called the Valley Clean Infrastructure Plan, and it will be truly massive — 21 gigawatts of solar and storage across 136,000 acres, along with a high-voltage transmission network to deliver that clean energy to the state’s power grid. www.goldenstatecleanenergy.com/valley-clean...

Welcome to @canarymedia.com's new series on clean energy in rural America! For the inaugural feature I went to California’s Central Valley, where water-starved farmers are planning what could be the world's biggest solar and battery project: www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol... #energysky

Farmers in California’s Central Valley are stuck on a “sinking ship” as their water supplies dry up. This massive solar and storage project could keep them afloat.

There’s a new XPrize in town, and it’s set to boost geothermal plants.

"For the first time, the country will be able to produce enough grid batteries to meet that surging demand on its own, according to new data from the U.S. Energy Storage Coalition, an industry group." www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle... via Julian Spector 🔌💡

California utility regulators have pushed off mandated community solar plans for years. Is the blockade finally clearing?

Clean energy is soaring around the world. Here’s where it’s all manufactured.

In North Carolina, Duke Energy is considering a cleaner way to power data centers — while keeping price hikes off its customers’ backs.

Advanced nuclear power has a chicken-and-egg problem. This report suggests a few ways solve it.

The U.S. is manufacturing tons of grid batteries — so many that it’ll meet its own demand this year.

"Who, exactly, is making all of the solar panels, wind turbines, battery packs, and electric vehicles enabling this transition? In a word: China." www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle... via @danmccarthy.bsky.social 🔌💡
