If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)

Energy prices are up and heat waves are coming soon. We need a new strategy to bring down costs, rebuild the state, and redistribute power, all while taking the climate crisis seriously as an economic disrupter. @cplusc.bsky.social is launching a new framework for how to get there! ✊🛠️🌎

I think not enough people understand that the pushback against renewables and EV's is money. Without getting too in the weeds: renewables cannot ever be as profitable as oil and gas. EV's don't make as much money as gas guzzlers. That's it. That's all you really need to know.

I wrote a piece arguing it matters who we electrify and to what end! With the loss of the IRA and absent active policy signals, it's understandable why clean energy advocates and developers would see Big Tech’s power hunger + capital as a place to eek out a cleaner data center buildout.

Today on Volts: for the next few decades, we'll be in the "mid-transition," with clean energy systems growing as FF systems decline. Those FF systems will not decline smoothly -- there will be thresholds, "cliffs," where they suddenly crumble -- so maybe we should, I dunno, plan for it?

If access to power is the biggest obstacle to a data center going online and thus further ballooning of the bubble, shouldn’t enviros and big greens who hate AI see the choke point there instead of just asks for ratepayer protections/use RE?

You can get a 'light' case of measles with minor symptoms, and then 7 to 11 years later, your brain can swell up for no reason and you will die because there's no cure. OR! You can develop a Parkinsons-like neurological disorder and die slower over 1-3 years while your brain just.. fails.
