@GriffithSaul's new book, Electrify: An Optimist's Playbook for Our Clean Energy Future from @mitpress, is out Oct. 12, and available for pre-order. Starred Kirkus Review! #electrifyeverything

@kalishjon @hereandnow @unmc Thank you for your reporting, Jon. otherlab.com/care-cube has more product info.

My story on Otherlab's Care Cube airs today on NPR's @hereandnow at 12:45 ET. The portable isolation unit will be used to treat COVID patients in rural hospitals and in urban settings with insufficient ICU capacity. Listen live: wbur.fm/2CMcQiO @otherlab @unmc

"The biggest efficiency measure there is by far is the act of electrification and driving those electrons with renewable generation." Saul Griffith from @otherlab. Watch the conversation now: youtu.be/sNdil991v8g

@energysmartohio @leahstokes @drvox @rewiringamerica Otherlab spinoff, @treaucool, would totally agree!!

@leahstokes @drvox @rewiringamerica In Chicago today you can't get a unitary heat pump (like a standard AC), they are all ACs. 85% of HVAC is replaced on an emergency basis, so if it isn't in stock, it doesn't get installed. $500-1000 is enough to tip that balance.

There’s this notion that slowing climate change is an economically costly task. And that to wean ourselves off of fossil fuels means massive job losses for the traditional energy industries. But that notion is false, according to scientist Saul Griffith. mktplc.org/3iuSJF1

@rmchase rewiringamerica.org/jobs-report by Saul Griffith and Sam Calisch has a deep-dive answer to your question.

Looking at @otherlab Saul Griffith’s new book. TLDR: Electrify everything “analysis shows that there are tens of millions of good paying jobs that will be created in every zip code, suburb, and rural town in the country.” Link?

Here's the state of play on the "electrify everything" response to climate change, which I find convincing. Key takeaway below.

The US already has what it takes to decarbonize completely. Deeply inspiring @drvox piece here about the super badass work of @rewiringamerica @otherlab vox.com/energy-and-env…

@CatalystCoop Hey @CatallystCoop. No, we haven't.

@otherlab Hey, in all your super-sankey work, did you come across location-specific, sectoral data about where electricity is consumed in the US? Maybe at the county level?

@SolarFred @drvox Clouds + humidity.

@drvox @otherlab Can you explain to me the TW of evaporation solar? Not familiar with that.

How much renewable energy is available to humanity, and in what forms? (This is one of my all-time favorite graphics, from Saul Griffith of @otherlab.)

Check this out. @adlaskey and Saul Griffith (@otherlab) have launched @rewiringamerica - A positive, comprehensive, and inclusive vision for a better future. #electrify #solarpower #powertothepeople rewiringamerica.org

Saul Griffith and @RewiringAmerica have a new plan that shows how the U.S. could massively mobilize to hit the Paris climate goals by building up the power grid with renewable energy to support a newly electrified economy. fastcompany.com/90533448/how-t…

A low-cost, rapidly deployable, negative pressure patient isolation tent is one of the fastest design rev projects we've ever done. Here is the data our clinical partners identified in simulation tests over the past 3 weeks. Learn more: otherlab.com/care-cube

Saul Griffith's new op-ed in @FortuneMagazine speaks to the great opportunity that comes from great crisis. "Today we have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to solve our current economic crisis: by switching to clean energy." @rewiringamerica #climatecrisis fortune.com/2020/07/29/cli…
