Amazing what happens when you measure instead of estimate. Methane emissions from oil and gas are triple what EPA says they are. US oil and gas system emissions from nearly one million aerial site measurements | Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Look at any IOU investor presentation. They all tout large capital spending that would produce endless rate hikes for consumers for the purpose of increasing shareholder value. Even when the cost of generation decreases, they pivot to more T&D expenditures.

A lot of folks have been deluded into thinking investor-owned utilities can get us to our climate justice goals. They cannot. Their sole goal is profit. Their business model depends on extracting ever higher amounts of wealth from their customers for providing essential service.

This article by Prof. Eisen (@joeleisen) and @LawProfPayne is the first to describe the intersecting reasons why utilities’ ESG commitments fall short of supporting the clean energy transition. #TimeForChange shorturl.at/fhjP0

Ongoing exposure to #airpollution has long been a source of significant #healthinequity in the US that burdens low income & marginalized Americans. Read More: spkl.io/60134lboJ Subscribe for Free: spkl.io/60144lboK @LawProfPayne @jenndoliva @IUMaurerLaw #LawTwitter

@KinseyAndrew I would just get a separate electric water bath canner and the induction.

@LawProfPayne Only reason I want at least a few gas burners is for canning. Our canner won't work with induction, and it's so heavy I wouldn't want to put it on a glass stovetop if I can help it.

Has anyone ever used a Wolf cooktop? Either gas or induction? I'm seriously contemplating getting a 15" gas cooktop and a 15" induction cooktop so I can have both.

@MichaelGiberso3 I’ve written about exactly this: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

The fox-henhouse analogy is not quite right, but utility rewards between rate cases are typically strongly correlated with volume. EE is anti-volume. If a utility is expected to be enthusiastic, you have to overcome that incentive. $$ Third party EE has simpler incentives. $

Asking utilities to run energy efficiency programs sorta feels like asking foxes to help design henhouses. Can anyone explain why a utility should have a monopoly on EE programs? Is this actually policy in any state?

Thrilled to see this in print! @joeleisen is an amazing co-author and many thanks to the @BYULRev editors who were a joy to work with.

The @NRCgov has cited the Vogtle-3 #nuclear plant in #Georgia for yet another violation associated with a procedure failure that resulted in unborated water entering the reactor coolant system in October, which could have caused an inadvertent criticality. nrc.gov/docs/ML2312/ML…

FirstEnergy exploited a loophole cashing in emission allowances for years for 1 of its closed coal plants, earning millions of dollars + allowing other operating coal power plants to spew pollution bit.ly/3AoyLqt @CUBofOH @DavidPomerantz

@duncancampbell @Ben_Inskeep Maine has done a great job incenting heat pump installation

@Ben_Inskeep What are Mainers heating with? Less nat gas and same propane as the warmer Pennsylvania. Maybe smaller / more efficient homes? Or wood?

In their latest piece, @jenndoliva & @valenabeety warn that states will ramp up their policing of pregnancy behaviors, with prosecutors relying on invalid scientific evidence to do so, in the post-Dobbs legal landscape. @asucollegeoflaw @uclaw_sf bit.ly/3n4nM2f
