Nice to see Massachusetts working on electricity rates to improve the affordability of heat pumps. Rate design can be a great way to overcome the "spark gap" barrier.

I understand the need for this trade, but I'll miss KP. He looked like was genuinely having fun playing for the Celtics.

Yikes.

Screenshot of scene from the old game Oregon Trail. There is a green graphic on a black background. The graphic is of an ox pulling a wagon and below it is says YOU HAVE LISTENED TO RFK Jr.

If there was an expansion draft, Kornet would be one of my first picks. So solid.

Really sad. I hope he makes a full recovery like KD.

Grrrrr

I don’t have the words to explain how upset this makes me.

Appliance standards and ENERGY STAR are very cost-effective ways to save energy through market transformation. However, recent federal changes put both at risk. Check out my latest post on the impact of these changes on energy savings and evaluations. #energysky

I was really excited to see only EVs in the show Paradise, and then I found out why that was the case… still neat to see, though

Peering into the Spark Gap The price difference between natural gas and electricity can be a major barrier for electrification. Let's peer into the spark gap and to overcome it.

Thanks. As far as I can tell, EIA only has the total cost, not broken out. But I might be missing it.

#energysky - is there a resource out there that will help me figure out the average breakout of natural gas delivery and supply charges? I'm trying to get to the average cost of each on a per therm/ccf basis. Thank you!

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Energy Tariffs and Cost Effectiveness Let's dive into the recent energy tariffs and how they may affect energy prices and cost effectiveness.

Tariffs on energy imported from Canada will increase prices all around. But higher prices also mean higher avoided costs from energy efficiency. How does this affect programs' cost effectiveness? My latest post digs in.

Wow. Just because you stop measuring it doesn’t mean the climate crisis isn’t happening.

@warren.senate.gov make some good trouble

CT’s PUC sets a great example for other states. I hope they can withstand this pressure.

This doesn't just affect data centers but for EVs, heat pumps, industrial electrification, etc.). Demand flexibility can be used to solve problems for all of those areas. And it's much cheaper than building out new generation and T&D!

Did you turn the radio off to get extra range?

This angle of Jayson Tatum’s game winner of the Pelicans filmed by a fan courtside is beautiful

...and census.gov just went offline.

The fed government has so many amazing data sets that I use regularly, including ACS data for weighting survey results, local weather data for energy models, EIA data for utility info, and CBECS/RECS data for building information. If they go away, the impacts will be significant and widespread.

Seems like a good day to repost this...

Great to see! Because there are often more than one HP per building (but usually just one furnace), it would be really interesting to see how they compare in terms of installed capacity. Does that exist, #energysky?

Really helpful political theory thread. (Helpful to at least understand the current situation, not so much to fix it.)
