This lyric turns 30 years old this week, but it's as relevant as ever: "You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things you never knew you never knew" Who remembers what song this is from?

For the first time, fossil fuels provided less than half of U.S. electricity generation for a full month (March 2025). One more milestone in the energy transition. oilprice.com/Energy/Energ... #Upshift

Almost $25 for 62 miles of range at a half empty supercharger at 8pm on a Monday night. Feels like prices for fast charging have inflated faster than anything else I buy...

I have a small podcast using AI to synthesize dense #EnergySky reports. This week I’m doing the DOE Pathways to Commercial Liftoff reports, aligned with #Deploy24! Today I posted the podcast for the Grid report and it’s the best podcast yet: open.spotify.com/episode/7DnH...

We've had an EV for 5 years and now drive only EVs. I had a slight worry before going full EV that I might find it constraining. That's never happened. I haven't once considered going back. 300+ mile range is a game changer. EVs are far from perfect but they're a more appealing total package.

This is "precision" patio heater is brilliant, all electric, and a great looking product. Reminds me of stage lights - a very smart intersection of electrification and AI (computer vision) megatrends. 🔌💡 www.gsb.stanford.edu/experience/n...

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

There is so much activity on here and no ads (that I've seen). Also it's completely free? What am I missing? Who's paying to run bluesky?

The U.S. released targets for deploying new nuclear energy today at #COP29 🔵35 GW by 2035 🔵200 GW by 2050 🔵ramping the supply chain to 15 GW per year capacity by 2040 To address energy security, environmental impact, affordability, and more, we must deploy 🔌💡

The youth climate movement around and following Biden's election re-energized my own commitment and enthusiasm to the space. Reading these stats and quote compiled by @InsideClimate.flipboard.com.ap.brid.gy is a real eye opener for me. Looks like some huge gaps relative to just 4 years ago.

Great piece from @billmckibben.bsky.social about the stories we've overlooked 🔌💡 🟢 Solar + Wind = Costco! Not Whole Foods 😂 🟢 We are deploying a nuclear power plant's worth of solar *per day* 🟢 California cut natural gas use for electricity generation by 25% in one year www.cjr.org/analysis/bil...

This week I launched a podcast called "Watt's Next" to break down complex Climatetech and Utility innovation whitepapers. I'm doing it all with GenAI! Would love feedback here on bluesky from those in this niche 🔌💡. First up is PG&E's R&D strategy: open.spotify.com/show/2VGpbM2...
