Oh hey Mr. Canary, you takin' a little canary nap? You deserve it, workin' so hard down here in the dark.

DEI is responsible for me forgetting my lunch at home today.

My band The Boundary Objects played #TheHavenJP last night in what is becoming a regular gig. I swear we’re going to get better at being on the internet too…

I don’t mean to boast but

The ineluctable fact is, if you want the most eyeballs, the most clicks, the most "happy users," good journalism is a *terrible strategy*. Truth is expensive to obtain, slow to reveal itself, complicated, nuanced, often orthogonal to neat ideological conclusions. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/b...

Tough week for the #mbta Orange Line got me missing the OrangeLineProblems account from back when The Bad Place was kinda good…

A lesson we never seem to learn: you can't cut emissions just by building out renewables. You also have to stop burning fossil fuels. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/09/c...

republicans immediately blamed the fire on democratic environmental policy and leadership. democrats have not said anything about the fire's connection to years of gop climate denialism. this is kind of a fundamental difference to how both sides approach politics.

Yeah what Geoff said.

Good morning to fellow fans of Dave/Volts! I look forward to partaking of more energy nerdery with you here, esp #gastogeo, integrated energy, ethical electrification… with apologies for spamming yr feed w bonus #JPBikeDad / #nowspinning / The Boundary Objects type content…

New report finds: "The Inflation Reduction Act could deliver over $2.7 trillion in net benefits from 2025 to 2035, against $656 billion in costs."

We’re on Volts baby! For an emerging energy nerd this is basically Mt Rushmore. Volts and David understood the thermal network vision early on - no better way to kick off the new year than sharing HEET’s story with the world, and how we’re starting to change the world. “The new hotness” ok!

2004: google answers your question 2014: google offers to sell you something that will answer your question 2024: google makes up an answer to your question 2034: google tells you your question is impermissible and summarily executes you

Hell yes. Very exciting.

Yeah I think this is pretty much my feelings, and not just because I’m the proud parent of a BPS track kid who just set a school record…

Just ludicrous to ask Americans whether they'd prefer a lifestyle that they've never experienced or even witnessed. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

This has always been my worst fear about climate change: the worse it gets, the more geopolitical chaos it causes; the more geopolitical chaos there is, the harder it is to cooperate to fight climate change. theconversation.com/a-doom-loop-...

New research shows that electrifying US appliances would dramatically improve *outdoor* air quality, to the tune of about $40 billion in health benefits per year. www.rewiringamerica.org/research/hom...

Fun fact: children are not being rushed into gender reassignment surgery. If that's what's holding you back from supporting the trans community, which is under vicious, coordinated attack, good news! You don't have to worry about it. You can just be supportive, without the "but."

On Wednesday, I am talking with the folks working on ***geothermal heat networks*** in the Northeast, including someone from the utility Eversource, which is busy building a pilot project. Got any questions about how these things are shaping up?

Biden's agenda has officially attracted more than $1 TRILLION in private investment into the US manufacturing economy. But that's good news, so media isn't allowed to write about it, so nobody knows. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...
