Same. We are pivoting all programming back to congregational resources next year. There are Interfaith Power & Lights in majority of the states, you should see if yours has one to plug into. And if it’s Iowa, that’s me!
Hi! I'm a Bills fan and Caps fan (weird mix lol). Needed a breather from that other site. I've blocked enough of MAGA but the doom and gloom from my fellow dems also led me here. I'm still learning the platform but so far I like it.
Hi! I work how #climatechange & other human-caused dynamics are reshaping the #biosphere & how to best work towards a liveable future for people & #biodiversity @econovoau.bsky.social 🌐♨️🌿🔥👣, eg the positive potential in trophic #rewilding https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0960982224002197 🌐🐎💡🌱
I still have my halloween face on, but...
I used the same name at the old place.
Currently on sick leave b/c climate change has ruined my brain (no really, my migraines are weather influenced) but if/when I get back to it, I'll be working in the climate/emissions/reclamation policy space again.
Hello cool people! I just started my career NREL where I work on projects related to capacity building in rural communities, rural co-ops and DERs, and energy justice topics in the Southeast!
Also, this is so surreal bc I just graduated grad school and read a lot of y’alls works for my classes 🥹
This is fascinating, @daphnew.bsky.social . I work on the development of a real economy-facing bond index but have been interested in bonds as a tool for managed decline / decommissioning for a long time.How far are you into development of these FFRBs? Is this pinned somehow into US regulation? Thx!
We are people of the parent & grandparent generation. We invite all adults to participate in the protests of the climate justice movement according to their possibilities.
We are united by our concern for our future, our children's future, the future of the world's children and future generations.
Hey Leah & #Energysky! I’ve spent most of my 20+ year career in the distributed clean energy space working at the nexus of business, technology, customer needs, innovation & sometimes policy. Currently at Sunrun! Jumped ship from X for good today 🙌

(I'm also Arkady Martine, who writes science fiction.)
Hello!! Making far-reaching content over on Meta for a few years, maybe you've seen it, maybe you haven't, but it seems like this is where all the smart people went after they left Meta, so I'm just here mostly to collect your publications and amplify them on our near 1m audience!
Old climate guy. Been working with corporate clients and consultants since 1995. Trying to see if there's any way I can help practitioners, especially next-generation leaders trying to sort out the mess my generation left you.
Hello hello! Working for multi-species justice. Probably doesn’t sound like the most vital thing at the moment but I swear to you, it is! Stay strong, everyone.
I am in the seriously clean energy business. This is Obama taking a guy in his wheelchair up a soft sand dune on St Cyrus beach.
Technically a 250 watt power source.
Try any other 250 watt power source to achieve the same. And if you want to see how green, check the exhaust.
Been here a minute, but I'm a member of @catalyst.coop and we help get analysis-ready open data to people working on the energy transition -- in research, policymaking, advocacy, etc. We also help climate & energy NGOs build and manage their own internal data pipelines.
I've been a climate and food activist for a long time, and am now really keen to connect with folks working on climate adaptation and social resilience!
In Toronto and around the world.
Now working with Lisa Kates to support people creative community climate projects: https://www.lift360.ca
Hi I'm a musician and climate activist in the UK creating a nature reserve to boost biodiversity,involved in river water pollution monitoring, part of a farm cluster group focussed on nature recovery, flood mitigation etc.
Hi, currently I work in energy efficiency policy. In the past I researched flood and water disasters. I enjoy being in a position to let diverse voices be heard. I’m interested in using my background in cinema to tell stories that inspire sustainability. Looking for collaborations.
I'm a physicist who teaches a general education energy course at an open-enrollment regional university in Utah. Grateful to the many folks here and on the old site who've taught me so much about energy. Here to learn and to seek tiny ways to contribute as an educator and communicator.
I work at a developer/owner/operator of grid-scale battery storage systems, where I support development by identifying good places to connect to the grid and support operations with price forecasts and congestion analysis.
Hi everyone: I primarily study the politics of state-level climate and energy policy, though I’m increasingly interested in RTOs/ISOs, too. I focus on the policy preferences, as well as the political influence, of monopoly investor-owned utilities.
Hi Leah. I work for a Middle Eastern project developer so I'm interested in renewables in the Global South, climate finance and general energy transition.
Hi Energy Friends - I work on clean energy legal issues as SVP-Legal at Sunrun, and I also teach clean energy law course at U of Missouri. My side quest/deep dive is AI and particularly how energy laws can be used to speed up or slow down the development of AI. Also love me some movies & pinball…
I’m an energy engineer working in decarbonisation projects in Southern England. Currently working on decarbonising high temp heat.
I’m also Chair of Hydrogen Sussex, and spend A LOT of time explaining why hydrogen is a poor choice for most use cases!

Just volunteered to be on our village sustainability committee and want to learn all I can about changes we can make. Local communities evacuated bc of wildfires this summer. I also rarely get in a plane and would like more to get on (or off) board.
Hi, I work in distributed generation and virtual power plant policy in California, and I do climate advocacy including reach codes and building decarb. I've been on mastodon for a while, taking a peek here and happy to see people I've followed in the past!
We developed a game about how to decarbonize NYC, which was spun into the stratosphere by @jessejenkins.bsky.social
on that other site back in 2018, and will be shown at #AGU2024 by @jgilligan.org. Also used in class by
@jeffsseidman.bsky.social and others:
Can confirm that Energetic is great for teaching. It's one thing to read about the dif. roles of variable renewables, storage & firm resources on the grid, or about the political consequences of prices and reliability. The game makes these relationships & feedbacks INTUITIVE for students.
I have written a dry, academic, engineering-y book on Renewable Gas, you know, Renewable Methane, Renewable Hydrogen... and I am still trying to write a second book on the same topic, but broadening it a bit to all synthetically-produced, sustainable molecules.

Hi! I’m Isak and I write about clean energy and climate policy in Minnesota. Recently I’ve been studying states’ clean heat policies and how it compares with MN NGIA plans. Also write about clean electricity and on-the-ground energy transition stories in rural MN.
Colorado’s clean heat standard has been most interesting, since they recently approved Xcel’s plan with a LOT of electrification and little alternative fuels (article coming soon!), which is interesting to compare to Xcel’s very different plan in MN.
Also, a future daughter in law is getting her PhD at Columbia (Biologist studying effects of climate change on coastal ecosystems). So, we are a very nerdy green family. LOL
Hi Leah. Pastor Kevin in Kentucky. Trying to be as green as possible in this land of coal. BTW, I have a son who graduated from Columbia in 2017. (Chemical Engineer - EV battery researcher).
Hello, my name is Maureen. I live in a remote part of Australia. I am deeply concerned about our planet and the future for our children and grandchildren.

Hi everyone 👋 I’m Morgan, I’m in the Bay Area and I’ll be studying Biology and GIS starting next fall. I’m passionate about ecology and conservation in general, and obviously clean energy and climate concerns are a huge part of that. 🌍✨
Hi all, UK based working on making insulation more effective in the real world. That means quality of install linked to measured thermal performance in domestic properties. It's real world outcomes we need not inputs, proxy data and theoretical modelling ...then the magic can happen!
This may not be a Q for you but my mum lives in a grade 2 listed timber frame house with no insulation. It still has lime/horse hair plaster. Every time I discuss insulation and double glazing she tells me the grade 2 listing won't allow it. I wonder if there's any way to square that circle?
who have provided high performance glazing in listed buildings.
It would need someone more specialist than me to advise on wall insulation; it should be possible even with the listing. Try the advice note at Historic England as a starting point.
Love this invitation, @leahstokes.bsky.social ! I do v practical research around the climate and energy transition (mostly focused on fossil fuel / infrastructure expansion), focused on how it's being financed through corporate bond markets and investors might change that.
Hi! Nyc based solar policy guy, done some writing and consulting, worked for a renewables+ev charging developer, now work for a renewable asset owner. Currently fixated on exploding load forecasts coming out of the nyiso (and others) and the uneven downstream impacts of capacity market volatility
Hi Leah and everyone! Transitioned to climate work in 2021 after long career in software. Now interested in advising companies that are driven to scale climate solutions. Video games too. Also helping https://www.sunrisemovement.org given the election. Orgs: https://Terra.do, https://ClimateChangemakers.org, ClimateVoice.
hi! just a politics/ir undergrad here, not focusing my account on climate things as of right now, just looking for people to follow to broaden what i see on the subject!
Hi everyone! I’ve worked on climate and clean energy policy in MN for 30+ years, from a variety of perspectives — for the most conservative Governor in recent MN history, for climate/clean energy NGOs, for multiple MN utilities and now help lead the staff at the MN Public Utilities Commission.
I’m an architect and co-founder of LAGI, a nonprofit engaging the public in the co-design of our clean energy future. Through design competitions and community energy projects we offer antidotes to climate despair by showing renewable energy can be beautiful. Our latest opportunity launches soon!
Great idea.

I have written a dry, academic, engineering-y book on Renewable Gas, you know, Renewable Methane, Renewable Hydrogen... and I am still trying to write a second book on the same topic, but broadening it a bit to all synthetically-produced, sustainable molecules.
Examples of my work in this thread👇
I help companies plan for - and Deliver - Net Zero
I also volunteer for the Carbon Accounting Alliance
I have no specialist knowledge about the environment.
However, I've got the message about the #ClimateCrisis.

Was formerly on the Tech-to-Market team at ARPA-E and have worked in areas ranging from LDES, to CDR, to biofuels over the past 15 years

Welcome new Skeeters!
I’m a climate scientist-turned-policy generalist who has been leading the transportation — electrification and multimodal — work at Georgetown Climate Center for 7+ years.
I love bikes and nature. Also, I’m a wee bit obsessed with media and democracy.
