Do low carbon solar supply chains make a difference in meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets? At what cost? 🚨 Our new paper led by @briantarrojaphd.bsky.social w/Rebecca Peer and @gruberte.bsky.social #energysky #greensky #energysky ☀️🔋🔌💡 #ultralowcarbonsolar
1/ Been holding back re: research since everything is on fire, but that's not changing anytime soon so might as well post:
We plan decarbonized electricity systems to minimize monetary cost. How different would they look if we minimized life cycle GHG instead?

What impacts could an EV Tax Credit repeal have on US manufacturing? 🚗⚡️ #PrincetonZEROlabs
🔴 Lose the nation’s entire portfolio of planned EV construction & expansion projects
🔴 Put 50% of existing EV assembly facilities at risk of closure

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer.
Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

Watched this with my parents today, loved the Michelle Alexander cite from "We Are Not the Resistance": we are not the dam, we are the river. The group recommended parties, kindness, and being silly. SIGN ME UP
This morning we had our The Way We Get Through This Is Together conversation, an architect and five writers, talked about kindness, generosity, hope, community, storytelling, and it was everything I hoped for. If you want to watch, here it is.
