Y’all worried about excess carbs, I’m worried about excess carbon. We are not the same.

RIP Bob Weir, one of the founders and original architects of The Grateful Dead. When the Dead would trip off into one of their dazzling live cosmic jams, lead singer Bobby was the ringmaster who knew when to grab everyone and guide them back down to earth. On his own solo music he upheld the Dead’s communal spirit and was always willing to share the spotlight with talented musicians. In recent years Weir fronted the post-Jerry Garcia/Phil Lesh version of the Dead and introduced the group’s music and vibe to new generations of Dead Heads. We’ll never forget when he performed on ACL TV in Season 28 with RatDog. Watch the full performance on our Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=yNVmiK…

Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive. This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇

SIGNED! 🥳🥳🥳💪💪💪 A massive victory for holding monopoly utilities accountable to their customers, and for lowering Californians' utility bills. Thank you to @GovPressOffice, @AsmMarcBerman, @SenMcNerney, @Earthjustice, @UtilityReform for all your leadership!
David Pomerantz@DavidPomerantz

A bill is sitting on @GavinNewsom’s desk that would lower Californians’ utility bills – all he has to do is sign it. However, rumors are swirling that he plans to do the opposite - a move that could prove disastrous for California and for Newsom. A 🧵:

Marissa Gillett, possibly the best utility regulator in the country, resigned from the Connecticut PURA this morning. She was forced out by Connecticut’s investor-owned utilities, who finally won their years-long, scorching campaign to oust her. A thread here about Gillett:

California, the world’s 4th largest economy, is now using 40% less natural gas to produce electricity than it was just 2 years ago. No wonder Big Oil is in panic and trying to slow down America’s energy transformation

There’s no reasonable explanation for killing children. None. Genocide.

When the genocidees become the genociders.

🚨 120 Palestinians killed, 557 wounded yesterday in Gaza. Gaza is being crushed under one of the most extreme collective punishment campaigns in modern history: ➤ Food blockade — starvation enforced for over 140 days, with trucks routinely turned back ➤ Water distribution sites bombed twice this week — civilians shot while lining up for water ➤ Sea access forbidden — Israeli forces open fire on anyone approaching the coast ➤ Population trapped in just 14% of Gaza’s land — even that is under constant attack ➤ Fuel shipments blocked for 130 days, resumed last week with minimal amounts the UN says are not even enough for one day ➤ Hospitals, sanitation, and water systems collapsing due to fuel and electricity shortages ➤ Premature babies dying — no baby formula allowed to enter, no incubators, no power ➤ Dialysis services stopped or severely limited — thousands of kidney patients left to die ➤ No access to medicine or equipment — Israel is blocking the entry of entire categories of medical items under “dual-use” pretexts, including:   — Operating tables   — Surgical knives   — Anesthesia carts   — Ultrasound transducers   — Inhalation devices   — Blood test kits   — Freezers for preserving vaccines   — Sterilization equipment   — Orthopedic sets   — Refrigerators for preserving blood ➤ Hospital tents and field clinic equipment are also being blocked ➤ Aid workers are being targeted — hundreds killed since October; two Red Cross workers shot just this weekend ➤ Humanitarian orgs forced to coordinate every step with the Israeli military, often turned away or led to unsafe routes where they must operate under live fire

Next time you're next to Lady Bird Lake, think about how much water is in there. Then multiply it by 100. That's about how much water has been captured by Lake Travis and Lake Buchanan. LB is effectively full and still passing water down to Lake Travis which is over 670ft

Just. Wow. As we went over Mexico and the U.S. this morning, I caught this sprite. Sprites are TLEs or Transient Luminous Events, that happen above the clouds and are triggered by intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below. We have a great view above the clouds, so scientists can use these types of pictures to better understand the formation, characteristics, and relationship of TLEs to thunderstorms.

“If solar and wind are the most affordable and fastest to build resources, why do they need tax credits?” A reporter asked me this fair question yesterday. Here's the steelman case, in my view: 1) Market failure correction: Social value of solar and wind (e.g. reduced fuel price volatility, CO2 emissions, air pollution) exceeds private market value; tax credits help internalize these public benefits 2) Offsetting non-price barriers: Solar and wind face significant non-price barriers (e.g. permitting delays, interconnection challenges, transmission constraints) that favor incumbent resources; tax credits help counterbalance 3) Energy security: Solar and wind don’t rely on globally traded fuels, providing insulation from potential actions of adversarial governments while enabling lower-cost fuel export to allies 4) Supporting rapid load growth: With electricity demand rising quickly, tax credits help scale up new generation faster and mitigate backsliding into higher-emission resources 5) Accelerating deployment: Even in regions where solar and wind are cost-competitive, the pace of market-driven adoption may not align with public objectives; tax incentives help close the gap 6) Offsetting tariff impacts: Tariffs have raised costs of a variety of input materials and grid equipment; tax credits help offset these added burdens and keep projects economically viable 7) Addressing uneven economics: While solar and wind are the most affordable new energy sources in many markets, this isn’t universally true, especially in regions with weaker RE resources 8) Consistent w/ historical precedent: Nearly all major energy sources in US history have received federal subsidies; supporting renewables continues that tradition in service of modern priorities

The Ernst, Grassley, & Murkowski Amendment corrects several of the clean energy provisions that are most damaging to American workers, American businesses, and American energy leadership. SEIA encourages all Senators to support this amendment and thanks @SenJoniErnst, @lisamurkowski, and @ChuckGrassley for their responsible leadership.
