Miami has a waste problem, and all of America can learn from it, writes @NicolasFuRivero Read this fine piece of trashy writing, and stay tuned for a key decision that will determine the fate of 'Mount Trashmore' washingtonpost.com/climate-soluti…

@TheMadManTheory @eilperin That's a great explainer, and I think it backs up what I said earlier: "car dealers have begun claiming the CQCCV for vehicles they lease, then passing some or all of the benefits to consumers" + "income and price limits from the CVC do not apply to the CQCCV"

@NicolasFuRivero @eilperin Take a look at this CRS note (crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF…), which appears to say otherwise.

If you're thinking of leasing or buying an EV, now's the time. @NicolasFuRivero explains why, here washingtonpost.com/climate-soluti…

@TheMadManTheory @eilperin Hi @TheMadManTheory! My understanding is that buyers use the CVC, which comes with several restrictions on income, car price + US manufacturing, but when dealerships lease a car it counts as a commercial vehicle, so they use the CQCCV, which doesn’t have those restrictions.

@eilperin @NicolasFuRivero It may not be accurate, as reported, that "car dealerships can get a tax credit for leased EVs without ... [income] restrictions." True if the dealer uses CQCCV. But for certain cars it may apply the CVC, which includes income restrictions. Yes?

Some video games are trying to cut their planet-warming pollution -- without angering gamers. @NicolasFuRivero explains how: washingtonpost.com/climate-soluti…

So, in the meantime, power companies, grid operators and the federal government are hoping that millions more people like you will sign up to let an AI hivemind fiddle with your thermostat and appliances when the grid is in trouble. (10/10)

The Energy Department projects that virtual power plants could triple in size by 2030—and says it's a cheaper, faster, cleaner way to keep the lights on than just building new power plants alone. It can take a long time to build new plants. (9/) washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

A 🧵 about why power companies are building AI systems that can control millions of thermostats, appliances and EV chargers in homes around the U.S. — and how these hiveminds are already preventing blackouts and helping the grid use more green energy: wapo.st/3MXJQVI
