This sounds suspiciously like hope.

I had the same observation on Bernard McNamee, who was Trump's FERC commish and author of the energy section of #Project2025. Enough experience in the industry to understand, and also not opposed to a diverse portfolio with wind & solar. (The P25 energy plan is still a shitshow tho) #energysky

Hi! 👋🏼 Can you add me to Women in Energy?

Very cool! I don't see a discussion of a shift from centralized G&T architectures to more distributed architectures, which IMO is a key issue in the transition in terms of standards, protocols, and regulatory that is flexible enough to meet distributed needs. Maybe in Week 5?

5. Meanwhile I'm still working daily in the clean energy sector, trying to decarbonize and bring clean, resilient power to underserved communities in a way that they maximize all the benefits they can from the technology.

4. I'm still working out some of these ideas. I don't have the answers because I also want us all to get paid. But I'm pretty sure the key is doing some research into innovation that was not driven by white Europeans. So I'm going to be doing that.

3. I've observed how tightly the innovation process is tied to capitalization, funding, and investment. How quickly capitalistic thinking influences the innovation process, and I don't think it's healthy. It prevents us from getting to ideal solutions because development is arrested.

2. I've worked as a founder/leader in a startup space for 8 years. I'm working in clean energy, a sector I truly believe in as having the power (pun intended?) to make the world better. So my work is layered because I want to make a difference in that specific sector, but also meta levels.
