I look forward to sharing keynote remarks at Duke University's energy and climate summit next week to address clean energy finance gaps.
I applaud the @nichinstitute.bsky.social for convening the diverse perspectives needed to address these challenges.
As with each release of @efifoundation.org's Annual Report, Iβve shared some thoughts to introduce the report. This year, I reflect on 10 years of our existence as an organization -

It has been an eventful year in energy policy, with political uncertainty for investment and innovation. Our 2025 Annual Report shows how we navigated this environment.
The times have been challenging, and I am extremely proud of the team at @efifoundation.org.
Congratulations to Melanie Kenderdine, the Womenβs Council on Energy and the Environment 2025 Woman of the Year, from all her friends at the @EFIFoundation. Melanie's contributions to clean energy and innovation throughout her career make her most deserving of this recognition.

Low-carbon markets continue to develop at varying paces, emphasizing the need to accurately track and measure carbon emissions.
By synthesizing financial accounting principles and carbon mass engineering fundamentals, @efifoundation.org has put forward a ledger-based carbon accounting system.
βIf we can address both legacy and current emissions, we are way ahead of the game.β
In a recent interview with @climategroup.bsky.social, @efifoundation.org Founder and CEO @ernestmoniz.bsky.social discusses the missing piece in mitigation strategies & importance of continued innovation.
Energy innovation isnβt always about big breakthroughs, itβs also about steady improvements that cut costs and expand access.
Thank you, @climategroup.bsky.social, for hosting these important conversations this week in New York.
Now more than ever, the DOE should support end-to-end innovation to address energy demand. Building a staff that boosts U.S. competitiveness in the energy sector is the answer. @efifoundation.org's policy brief analyzes the impact of staffing cuts on DOEβs support of American energy innovation.

I spoke with @nytimes.com's Lisa Friedman about shifting energy policy as electricity demand is rising. The U.S. needs strong coalitions with an all of the above approach, rather than favoring individual energy sources.

In case you missed my conversation with James Cameron & @camanpour.bsky.social, you can watch below.
We discussed the power of storytelling to reframe the debate around nuclear weapons & how to mobilize the public to demand policies that pull us back from the nuclear brink.
It was a pleasure to speak at Aspen Ideas: Climate for a panel on βRethinking the Rules for the Future of Carbon Accounting,β where I spoke with Mindy Lubber and @heidiheitkamp.bsky.social on necessary improvements to global carbon accounting.

Geologic hydrogen has the potential to be a transformative force in decarbonization efforts. I look forward to discussing the future of this promising resource during an @efifoundation.org webinar on the current state of its exploration.

As major technology companies plan new data centers in Minnesota, growing energy demand presents various challenges and opportunities in the state. Iβll be discussing this increased demand with Ryan Long of Xcel Energy this May 28 on our upcoming webinar.

Those of us who participated in these dialogues must help carry on the late Popeβs legacy of caring for the Earth and its people.

In both convenings, Francis called attention to the welfare of the poor -- those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
The dialogues led to two signed statements by the participants advocating for carbon emissions pricing and for climate risk disclosure.

I was privileged to attend two Vatican dialogues in 2018 and 2019, when Francis gathered leaders in energy services and in global finance for frank, closed-door sessions on the global objectives of environmental protection, economic growth, and social justice.

I am saddened by the news of Pope Francisβs passing. From the beginning of his papacy, His Holiness urged us all to consider the moral and ethical dimensions of how we shape the future, as captured in his 2015 encyclical βLaudato Siβ, On Care for Our Common Home.

I had the honor of being the keynote speaker at the launch of @cfr.orgβs Climate Realism Initiative this week. @npr.org's Mary Louise Kelly moderated a discussion about the need to set achievable goals and build lasting coalitions to assure a clean energy future.

It was a pleasure to join Fox Business and discuss innovative nuclear solutions like Terrestrial Energyβs Integral Molten Salt Reactor.
This reactor model uses molten salt as a coolant to reach higher heat levels, a critical step towards meeting rising energy demand.

The @efifoundation.org team had an action-packed week at #CERAWeek 2025. I was pleased to take part in conversations on accelerating innovation in low-carbon energy technologies amid a changing political climate.
We remain committed to the transition and look forward to continuing conversations.
I am excited to be on Bluesky to continue promoting the transition to a clean energy economy.
This month, @efifoundation.org released our Annual Report, including a letter from me about our current climate realities, and the path forward.
