A 1kW, 2 kWh battery in every household would absolutely flatten daily grid fluctuations. Now consider that my level 2 EV connection is 9.1kW with 77kWh on the end of it.

Muting both Texas senate candidates names. Because I don’t live in Texas and the BS doesn’t matter to me.

All of the is obviously bad but another thing that is bad is that i suspect I’m not alone in completely freeing myself from any sense of professional duty to participate in federal grant reviews. People have historically been happy to give huge amounts of time and effort and we might never come back

Swiss trains are just on a whole other level. This ordinary IR38 service between St. Moritz and Chur has a “photo compartment with lowerable windows for outdoor shots” and boy does it ever.

my question is: who's saying this publicly, so far?

I just got a phishing email that almost got me. Stay sharp out there folks.

Can we talk about how this is Mount Pleasant? It’s possibly DC’s neighborhoodiest neighborhood. Just the chillest, most easygoing place. You don’t go there for fine dining but there are good bars. Everybody is nice; it’s not a rich or poor neighborhood. In other words, what the fuck?

Reminder that this is still a common sight in DC. Never normalize it.

You might ask: why is NYCC expending effort defending a ny climate law that produced no results after 7 years? 1. A court finally ordered implementation, so that’s why it’s being amended. 2. We want to show going backwards is bad politics. Anyhoo: call and tell ‘em to vote NO

Watching oil markets, I can only conclude that oil traders are the most gullible MFers on the planet.

NYS legislators are there to speak bold words at a press conference. Mighty roaring lions at a rally. But will they be meek lambs and vote for the sleazy deal to gut the climate law in the state budget? Or will they stand up and be counted as a NO on Trump’s energy agenda?

This week, Governor Hochul, a tool of corporate polluters, likely gets her wish: gutting the state’s climate law in the budget deal. 😡 She’s raising energy bills, destroying jobs & increasing pollution by keeping NYers locked to fossil fuels, even as Trump wars on Iran. 🤦 Legislators: VOTE NO 👎

We have really drifted away from the promise of the open internet.

As we move into a summer that's likely to get very hot in lots of places, a gentle reminder that replacing an old furnace or boiler with an air-source heat pump not only gets you efficient electric heating, but also air conditioning. (Most heat pumps can reverse in summer to provide cooling.)

Some people love AC, some hate it, but in the coming decades most everyone will need AC at times to stay safe through increasingly extreme heatwaves.

GOOD.

Rare work-related post: do you want your new construction and alteration codes to be less unfair to heat pumps? Buddy, same. We just published three resources to help. #energysky #climatesky rmi.org/insight/the-...

Huh. I just asked Tom Steyer the exact same question that got me tossed out of the Xavier Becerra town hall two weeks ago...and I got a substantive response. No security goons needed. "You come to the fastest warming county in the lower 48 states, do you have a climate plan?"

This is going to come across as pretentious and unhelpful, but I really recommend reading books. Reading a book is the only thing I do where I feel like I'm nourishing my attention span, rather than sanding it down. The trick is to just read whatever you enjoy — not what you feel like you should.

Well, Chevron has figured out their candidate. Always helpful to know who Big Oil is rooting for. As for me, I think Tom Steyer will take on the oil and utility industries, and save Californians a bundle. Which is why those industries hate him.

Gov. Kathy Hochul is pushing to roll back NY’s climate law — a stunning reversal for Hochul, a 2025 TIME100 Climate Leader who’s previously understood that states must step in when D.C. retreats. In a new TIME op-ed, EANY’s Vanessa Fajans-Turner and Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson tell the story.

The proposal won’t lower our utility bills — only moving away from fossil fuels can. Our climate law is a path to affordable, sustainable energy, and we’re running out of time to save it in the final budget. More from Vanessa and @ayanaeliza.bsky.social: time.com/article/2026...

When there is no one in your life who can say ”no, that’s a bad idea”.

When I worked for a city government I was part of the coffee club. Paid for the office coffee for the same reason Cannot use tax payer funds.

Remembering yet again how, when I worked at HHS, we weren't allowed to use public funds for the water cooler in our office. That was a personal expense and we all chipped in, because we needed to preserve public trust.

yes. the clearest path to deal with the SCVA ruling is just to say that it wasn’t a constitutionally valid exercise of judicial review. because it wasn’t!

How can anyone see evidence like this and still support the state of Israel? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

Then there is what happened just last night on California's grid with the arrival of the extra SunZia wind power. Those natural gas plants that wait poised to surge at sunset ... just weren't needed. 1.5 GW of gas during the day to be ready went to 1 GW at sunset with 9 GW of batteries. Amazing.

As a guy working on buildings I thank you and welcome you all to join me.

Do buildings. Even in 2023 California’s buildings had more emissions than our power plants. Now the grid is much cleaner.

Pedocon theory doesn’t fucking miss. @mtsw.bsky.social

"My guess is that the percentage of Americans who are aware that we are blockading and immiserating a neighboring country is in the single digits. Its not an invasion, but involves the use of American military force with the intent of collapsing the government." -- @donmoyn.bsky.social

The world travels by horse. It did when my great grandparents were born and it did when they were my age and it did when they died … oh wait no. They had a car by the time they were my age.

Extremely helpful & illuminating thread about the state of global oil & gas markets. IMHO, the fact that global oil reserves could be exhausted within weeks & the price of oil could then *double* kinda seems like something that Americans should be more worried about!

It’s sort of mind bending that this hasn’t caused a big oil shock. Good thread here.

Cool to see 19 new wind turbines generate as much electricity as 400 (!) old turbines in CA's Altamont Pass. The U.S. could more than double its onshore wind capacity with no new land via repowering, per a Stanford study: www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/a-repowered-... via @justingerdes.bsky.social

virgnia foxx is one of those low key members who has been abjectly horrible her entire time in office. a total degenerate.

5 million US households in the Northeast and Midwest heat space or water with heating oil. Trump's Iran war has driven heating oil prices through the roof. States should help these households switch to electric heat pumps and heat-pump water heaters before heating season - and the midterms.

Good follow here 👇

Leaving aside campaigning in red states, the argument that Democrats should drop climate is wrong. 1) It is dumb to drop a platform that the majority support & that your opponent is absolutely terrible on. 2) We do need to get to net zero now in order to halt heating at a relatively safe level. 🧵

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

🚨We don’t know the exact specifics yet but yeah the dirty deal to gut New York’s climate law is getting rolled out to media now. The gov and legislative leaders who caved to her will be hiding the climate law changes to try to keep attention off of that. Legislators should vote NO! 🚨
