The primary energy fallacy: Critics of the energy transition often point to primary energy to demonstrate that the transition is going to be impossible. But most consumed primary energy is lost after conversion. The problem to solve is a lot smaller than primary energy suggests.

SDG&E’s rates are so insane. It’s honestly unbelievable. There is no way this makes any sense.

Part of my future philanthropy will be starting a fund called "That Shit Won't Work" I'll be the first check into deep tech that has very low probability of commercialization with full intention of it going to zero. Requirements: - It has to be an idea that excites me - I have to vibe with the founders - If it goes to zero the IP has to be open sourced It allows founders to take a shot at executing their idea, fuels my curiosity, and moves technology forward.

Almost 25 years ago, I moved to Las Vegas. The next year, I got a job briefly as a web designer for the Southern Nevada Water Authority. (I was not a good fit. 😂) I took tours of the water system from Lake Mead to take pictures for the website. I was confused.

Interconnection delays are a problem, posing challenges for resource adequacy, economic development, and decarbonization. At @RMI_electricity, we’re all about finding solutions, then speeding and scaling them. A 🧵...

Despite today's grim milestone with the world passing 1.5C over the past 12 months, I see some reasons for cautious climate hope. We stand both on the brink of severe climate impacts, but also on the brink of a rapid energy transition away from fossil fuels.

Consecutive high electricity demand records set in Western Australia, driven by heatwaves conditions. #energyinsights

I’m the first HHS Secretary to visit an abortion clinic. This issue is personal to me. Doctors, like Carolina, my wife & an OBGYN, are forced to weigh LEGAL opinions before rendering their MEDICAL opinions. My daughters have fewer rights today than their mothers & grandmothers.
