Trust beyond knowing. #GoIrish

Best, and most attractive, coach in college football: Marcus Freeman. Go Irish!!

Ari Peskoe and Fred Stafford using Simpson memes on #energysky to argue about utility business models after a David Roberts episode of Volts. I’m so happy.

Loved the episode. Especially this :

We discuss the *6* principles of energy justice that emerged from Salma's review of community-based organization *visioning documents* (a term Salma developed and popularized). πŸ’‘πŸ”Œ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"It's not always the case that we can represent our energy systems in very quantifiable, discrete ways that don't allow for political understanding in the way that having a conversation with someone would." - Salma Elmallah in conversation with Tony G. Reames, PhD and Ahlmahz Negash

The post to bookshelf pipeline.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! πŸ§ͺ

Calling all Macro Energy Systems enthusiasts. I created this macro energy systems starter pack. Featuring @jessedjenkins.com @gruberte.bsky.social @jfdecarolis.bsky.social @patricia-levi.bsky.social #energySky Let me know in the comments who I missed and I'll add them. go.bsky.app/TTnoSNL

Great day reading, beautiful night leaving Radcliffe Camera @ox.ac.uk

I wrote an accessible introduction to the life and work of the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Economics - Elinor Ostrom. She showed that are not doomed to fall into the "tragedy of the commons." Collaborative governance is possible. islandpress.org/books/uncomm...

β€œThere was a bargain people were making….” Jon Lovett speaks to something spiritual and communal that broke in a bargain that didn’t pay off. I continue to respect @jonlovett.bsky.social

New in Energy Economics, our paper on the challenge of allocating the cost of transmission in a manner "roughly commensurate with benefits" when nobody can agree what the benefits are. 50-day share link: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kB0SW3fc~...

Hi #EnergySky! I hear that anyone who is energy-one is here!

News in western markets from NewsData. NewsData folks on here yet? www.newsdata.com/california_e...

Incredible episode of the Ezra Klein podcast with Jennifer Pahlka (@pahlkadot.bsky.social) The importance of building institutional capability to deliver results is as true at electric utilities as it is in federal, state, and local government agencies. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

This was an especially good episode.

Tomorrow the best Christmas pageant ever. After Thanksgiving Red One. Bliss.

Moana 2 with the kids this afternoon. I’ve waited for this my whole life, I’m entering movies-with-the-kids age.

We're just waiting for the funding to do this! Anyone want to chip in a grant or gift, DM me. Seriously. 2025 could be the year for this. We need a GUI + a cloud based solver implementation and we can make GenX+Sienna & PyPSA easy for all to use and access. Both are already best in class models.

Hey #EnergySky. Even if you don't see yourself as a justice-focused energy researcher, probably worth following folks who are. πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘

11yr old and 9yr old joined me while I was doing homework last night and 11 yr old started making up math problems for 9 yr old to solve on my whiteboard. Made my heart glow. Maybe mid-life crisis return to school is paying off.

Started this starter pack with energy justice & climate justice folks. Let me know who I should add to it. go.bsky.app/HXiuKJ5 (P.S. yes this is my way of finding my friends that migrated to bluer skies) @costasamaras.com @menrywy.bsky.social @leahstokes.bsky.social @sidersadapts.bsky.social

Is electric grid reliability a "public good"? Dive into the details in our recent episode with @knowledgeproblem.bsky.social
