Spent absurd (laudatory) money on a pair of pants because 1) they offer a compelling silhouette, and 2) I have an idea to pair them with other clothes to create a look that coherently contrasts different parts of me Thx @dieworkwear.bsky.social

“A lot of the government tech community… just grabbed a bag of popcorn and are watching in real time as Elon and Vivek learn all the things they’ve known, lived, and absolutely hated for their entire time in public service.” - @pahlkadot.bsky.social www.eatingpolicy.com/p/bringing-e...

The EIA has good news for both sides of the aisle! Sales for hybrids and EVs have continued to rise in 3Q2024! And for EVs, a key driver was the Cybertruck, which outsells literally every other EV truck—because Elon DID understand why people buy trucks. www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...

Your answer to “can we decarbonize energy” has a lot to do with how you project these learning curves. Not just for generation but also for electrification technologies. I’m bullish on generation, meh on storage and transit, and full bear on industrial process.

Huh??? For context: Yesterday, Sunday 1 Dec, wholesale electricity prices in New England ping-ponged between $60/MWh (a bit high) and -$40/MWh (negative!) from 10AM to noon…and then prices escalated to a peak of $185/MWh on 1 Dec and $205/MWh at 4AM today.

This is, all told, a relief. I’ll need to dig more to see how much of this storage is in New England though. If the storage is on the wrong side of our VERY constrained gas lines, it’s not much help to us in the winter. www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...

A corollary to this article—what if the people outside your echo chamber don’t post? I work for a municipal utility—the vast majority of our customers never call, never show up to commissioner meetings…much less post on Twitter. Echo chamber discourse forgets that 99% of people are quiet

This article on the rise in the Dull Men’s club reminded me of Strauss and Howe’s generational model—50-60 years after the rise of Boomer individuality, the “counterculture” reaction is to blend in more, to try less hard to be unique. nymag.com/intelligence...

This is the kind of stuff that needs more bright people to work on…but that a lot of climate-y folks blanche at because it’s gnarly. More climate people should go into heavy industry! We still need steel and chemicals, but we can look for better ways to produce them.
