If you care about climate change, you should care about transmission. If you care about air pollution, we need more transmission. If you care about reliability, transmission again. If you care about realizing the economic opportunity of emerging cleantech, more transmission.
We need to "build more high-voltage transmission lines that can carry electricity long distances, and use those transmission lines to better connect regions and communities to one another." Check out the latest GatesNotes from @Breakthrough founder: gatesnotes.com/Energy/Transmi…
An underappreciated positive election story for climate: No vote on initiative designed to kill Washington’s fledgling carbon market looks decisive and is outperforming Dems in presidential/governor races. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…
Before @EnergySystemsIG Fall Technical Workshop: We can reconductor eVeryThiNg and solve all our transmission problems without having to build greenfield!! After ESIG:
NEW - DOE’s No 2: Congress needs to move on permitting reform. For @politico Energy podcast, I spoke w/ Deputy @ENERGY Secretary David Turk, who said lawmakers should “lean into the momentum” of actions taken by Biden/Harris to speed clean energy projects politi.co/3UaVm42
Finally, all these steps should be taken w three policy goals in mind simultaneously: (1) hold existing ratepayers harmless; (2) require new power generation for AI be clean; (3) allow tech firms to move quickly to meet rapidly growing power needs. 7/8
Are you doing high-impact engineering research focused on industrial decarbonization & advanced manufacturing; subsurface energy technologies; or sustainable & resilient infrastructure systems? Then apply to join the @Princeton @AndlingerCenter faculty! We have an open search…
An incisive, empathetic, and pragmatic analysis by @hollyjeanbuck Go read (actually read) everything she’s written. She’s brilliant, and even if you don’t agree with all of it, it’ll make you think about our climate challenge in important new ways. This bit hit home…
"Climate disinformation" is an elitist trap. Why? It centers the professional-managerial class in climate action — people who work with information — rather than people who build goods and grow stuff. jacobin.com/2024/08/climat…
Philanthropic strategy for funders that want to be correct and look smart: Make electricity planning models less addicted to fossil fuels.
OpEd idea for whoever wants to be correct and look smart: Our electricity planning models are addicted to fossil fuels.
The IRA "is having a transformative effect w/in the manufacturing sector,” said Trevor Houser of Rhodium Group. "The amount of new manufacturing activity is unprecedented in recent history, and is in large part due to new clean energy manufacturing.” nbcnews.com/business/energ…
Interesting tech policy argument that diffusing a tech across the economy is more valuable for a country than simply creating and controlling the most advanced tech. Story is centered around AI but with significant implications for clean tech as well.
Pleased to share my latest @ForeignAffairs piece - a direct critique of the U.S.'s current tech policy, which is fixated on preventing innovations from leaking to China. Instead, I call for a reset toward a diffusion-centered strategy. foreignaffairs.com/china/innovati…
Go help Google figure out 24/7 carbon free energy at scale, and then show everyone else how to follow along.
My team @Google leads long-term modeling for our 24/7 carbon-free energy and related goals, and the team is growing. Folks with experience in modeling & technoeconomics in the energy sector, check it out! linkedin.com/jobs/view/3994…
Model policy, Enact policy, Observe impacts, REPEAT
Two years ago today, President Biden signed into the law the landmark Inflation Reducation Act, supercharging the clean energy transition. Today, REPEAT Project releases 'Climate Progress 2024,' our annual update and analysis of US progress on the path to net-zero emissions.

We have new technologies to make steel, cement, ammonia, plastics, and that's great But it says nothing about the need to mitigate emissions from existing facilities Over 1000 blast furnaces, 1000s of fossil fuel based cement facilities, and so on. We need CCS for some of them
Noah makes an excellent meta point ⤵️. If economic incentives tilt overwhelmingly towards dirty energy, then a broken permitting system is an 'asset' for climate campaigners. But with the IRA tilting economic incentives overwhelming to the clean side, a broken permitting system…
I'm probably more open to supply side climate policy than your average climate econ type, but trying to reduce emissions by retaining a broken permitting system is just not the way

Where will we need carbon capture? There are many use cases, some good, many bad, for carbon capture and it's important we understand where and why we use this suite of technologies Let's take a deeper dive into where we will likely need it, and where we won't🧵🧵
Policy for siting and permitting clean power and transmission is high stakes
Failure to increase the rate of renewables deployment & grid expansion has big consequences: -could lose ~50% of emissions reductions from IRA thru medium-term -$25B/yr higher energy costs by 2040 -risk leaving up to $300B in IRA tax credits on the table -gas fills the gap
Lots of folks asking for permitting bill modeling. Its coming. However, David did a great thread on some modeling @evolved_energy did a month ago that is a very good proxy. Go read it. The tl;dr is the preliminary GHG benefit-cost ratios I’m seeing are between 5:1 to 10+:1.
