pro tip for sharing extremely fucked up climate news: if you don’t include a doable action step, it’s just gonna burn people out I got about a bajillon of em. how bout: find out when your local planning and zoning people meet, show up and support clean energy projects and dense housing

As the @51st.news's first full-time reporter, I don't actually disagree with this. We're building something new one brick at a time, but at this point it's simply not a one-for-one replacement for what's being lost at the Post. (Please read and support us, though!)

If you write primarily about nature and environmental issues, it can be hard to see the value of your work during times like these. I wrote about this a bit in my introduction to @biographic.bsky.social's weekly newsletter.

That seems bad

This is irresponsible reporting from @denverpost.com there is definitely avalanche terrain at Vail Pass, Mayflower Gulch, and probably Boreas and Buffalo Passes.

Minor thing, but for the last 8 years I had to spend this week working in the basement conference center of a hotel in DC, and I am so, so glad I’ll never have to be in the basement of the Fairmont DC ever again. Thank goodness for a new job.

In case you missed it yesterday!

Totally normal

When a winter storm takes out a power line that feeds someone's home, the only way their heat stays on is if they have a battery. This is true whether they heat with gas or an electric heat pump. Gas furnaces and boilers need power for their controls, fans and pumps. No battery, no heat.

I saw someone complain about this because it's not 'like for like' - ie, it should be a ship of solar panels vs a ship of gas turbines. But if we're doing that, what about photons vs gas? Who can calculate the energy in one tanker full of photons and how many tankers of gas would be equivalent

The work that the Footprint Project in Western NC is such a great model. I hope that it catches on and spreads. Thanks to @elizouzts.bsky.social and @canarymedia.com for providing this great coverage. #EnergySky #Climate www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Chance to see the aurora borealis in Colorado tonight! Skies will be clear across northeastern Colorado. More info later today! #COwx

As far as I can tell, @billmckibben.bsky.social is the only writer with any real reach who is discussing the liberatory potential of distributed solar power. I'd like that subject to get a lot more air time.

It definitely feels like a time where it's okay to pick your niche, your expert area and the thing you're good at, and just focus your energy on that without trying to stretch yourself too thin (noting that there are many ppl who *have* to do that due to shitty circumstances)

It's never a bad time to reshare this @ayanaeliza.bsky.social framework

If there's an energy or climate star who you think should be on our 35 Innovators Under 35 list this year, please shoot me a DM. Please do not just @reply with their name or handle here (awkward).

Thank you to the 147 House Democrats who voted against raising energy bills on American families this morning. To the 206 Republicans and 57 Democrats who voted for higher costs for families buying manufactured homes - why? Voters have clearly said they want lower bills, and this is an easy one.

I think this is an easy follow for most of my followers.

I think "Don't mention climate; focus on affordability" was naively assumed to be a safe centre-right climate position. But in the real world fossil fuel extraction and use are cripplingly expensive. 'Focus on affordability' = oppose fossil fuels. www.citizen.org/news/trumps-...

Here’s my take. At this point, it’s good the U.S. is out. We were a barrier to progress anyway and now we can’t spike progress from inside.

Something to break up the otherwise awful feed.

Ubiquitous, reliable trains are the best expression of modernity, not cars.

Internet forums were better than modern social media.

It’s 65 degrees in Denver right now, January 4. We are in the climate crisis.

I know some of you nerds (laudatory) are into this kind of stuff.

Hey utility regulatory wonks! Who has done good thinking about the potential of PURPA 111(d) standards to improve state utility regulatory approaches? Any good research / resources out there?

Wow.

Excellent thread. 10/10. No notes

Reminder: 85%+ of wildfires are human-caused. #COwx

Hey losers leave trans folks alone

So many of our problems as a country are more explicable when you add the frame of 'we are an industry-captured petrostate, and like most petrostates, we are resource-cursed'.

Nothing to see here, just the gas industry choosing its own regulators. Seems fine.

Holy cow this is brilliant!!! 👀

My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it. The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?" "An obituary." "Obituaries aren't on the front page." "This one will be."

Got an EV charger installed at my house last week and had it pre-wired to support V2G. Unfortunately my car can’t do it yet.

Energy efficiency and demand flexibility can avoid costly power grid buildout, but utilities rarely invest in them because utities profit by putting steel in the ground. This is a main barrier to lowering your power bills. Utility regulators have had decades to fix this but few have done anything.

There are a lot of junior people looking to leaving NREL/NLR. The work they went there to do has dried up; rumors of big layoffs in the new year abound. If you’re hiring in the clean energy/climate space, please consider them. There are so many brilliant, driven people about to be displaced.
