In 2023, atmospheric rivers dumped tons of precipitation on California. While the green vegetation and flooding was obvious, it’s not quite so easy to track how this affected groundwater. A recent paper shows how seismometers can help measure that! ⬇️ https://loom.ly/o8RhbpQ

"Drill baby drill" isn't all bad folks. There is a stupifying amount of #geothermal heat in our planet - some hi temp for applications like this, more widespread: low-temp (combined earth & solar) for many uses w/ or w/o #heatpumps - and in these times, the Trumps don't hate it (do what u can)

When it comes to #heatpumps, 'air-source' devices squeezing heat from thin air are all the buzz. But gas utilities are learning to love their #geothermal cousin. This week I show why, profiling an innovative installation near Boston via @sierramagazine.bsky.social: www.sierraclub.org/sierra/geoth...

Transmission planning by the federally owned utility TVA can bring more low-cost solar and wind power to customers, and Congress can guide the utility in that direction, renewables trade groups say. (My latest for PV Magazine USA) #EnergySky @acore-org.bsky.social @simonmahan.bsky.social

Gee, who would have expected the Canadians to hit back in kind? 🧐Speaking to Americans: "Trump’s actions would put their jobs in jeopardy and raise costs south of the border" They actually can put a real squeeze on the electrical supply.
