Hochul pauses all-electric building mandate The New York director at the Building Decarbonization Coalition makes the case for keeping gas appliances out of new construction.

Clean electrification is inevitable Kingsmill Bond explains why the global march of "electrotech" has moved beyond the reach of US political interference.

Today on Volts: the subset of cleantech known as "electrotech" -- solar, batteries, heat pumps, etc. -- is marching toward inevitable victory, not because it's low-emissions (though it is), but because it's more efficient & cheaper. I discuss the good news with @kingsmillbond.bsky.social.

Get your flu shots people. Last year was the worst flu season in 10 years and don't love even a small regional slice like this looking much worse already.

That said, I think the basic reason is that the Empire depended on a strong State supporting a strong Army, and vice versa. And both were weakened for various reasons at that time, so they did not end up being able to support each other. But let @patrickwyman.bsky.social tell you why I am wrong.

I listened to @patrickwyman.bsky.social's entire Fall of Rome podcast, and I still can't give you a simple explanation for why the Western Roman Empire fell. So I think the actual answer to this question is "it's complicated" (like most questions like this). But curious what Patrick would say.

Geothermal energy looks set to go from niche to necessary Competition between startups including Fervo Energy, Eavo and XGS Energy is hotting up. 2026 looks set to mark the start of the great geothermal renaissance

Over a century since its first use in Italy, geothermal power provides less than 1% of global electricity. In the coming year, that figure could surge

NEW: I wrote about British churches installing heat pumps, in some cases in 1,000-year-old buildings! Decarbonisation may not be easy, but many view it as an act of faith.
