Happy National Canoe Day! From my family to yours. :) #canoeing #mysticriver

Delighted to be in DC with ⁦⁦@sbj_ames⁩ to discuss how ⁦@lowimpacthydro⁩ standard and Hydropower Sustainability Standard can be aligned in the US hydro market #Sustainablehydropower

Thrilled to see ⁦@lowimpacthydro⁩’s amazing board chair highlighted by ⁦@PNNLab⁩ pnnl.gov/news-media/bre…

Op-ed I wrote published in The Hill this morning. We must protect our coastal communities from climate induced flooding and sea level rise. Thinking about and wishing I could do more for those impacted by Hurricane Fiona and Ian. Let's do better. thehill.com/opinion/energy…

ISO NE hides behind its mission but it ignores the need to change as the world around it changes. ISO NE needs to update its mission to properly consider climate change. The board is falling down on its job. commonwealthmagazine.org/opinion/grid-o…

I need to spend more time on TikTok. I'm in awe of Gen Z. nytimes.com/2021/12/09/tec…

It’s Energy Day at #COP26 Here's a musical reminder that we can meet climate goals w/out damming remaining free-flowing rivers. Dams proposed for tropical free-flowing rivers would provide <1% of needed electricity! @WWFLeadWater youtu.be/9cqhGfWwfCg

1905: Justice John Marshall Harlan: the Constitution did not allow Americans always to behave however they chose. “Real liberty for all could not exist,” Harlan wrote in his majority opinion, if people could act “regardless of the injury that may be done to others.” - NYT

Feeling like Gen-Xers (like me) are the middle children (like me) of generations, failing to keep peace between our older and younger siblings. We shouldn't be trying to keep the peace and bridge the gap. Millennials are right. buzzfeed.com/hannahmarder/w…

When a large swath of river restoration organizations and the hydropower industry agree on a legislative proposal it should be adopted. Please tell your legislator that this investment is important! #Damsareinfrastructure. americanrivers.org/2021/07/superc…

Love what this bill is doing! And love that it recognizes Low Impact Certified hydropower. nadler.house.gov/news/documents…

Count the migrating river herring! It's addictive. @MysticMyRWA mysticherring.org/video#/

Know what the map below shows? Dams across the continental US. They create drinking water reservoirs, provide navigation, some are essential, some need to go, but all are #infrastructure (yale.databasin.org) ps: there are over 90,000 of them in our rivers. #dams

Just pure joy. nytimes.com/video/arts/100…

“Almost without exception, where dams have been removed, you see populations bounce back, often much more quickly than anyone anticipated.” bit.ly/30XNvKG
