Great being @canarymedia.com Canary Live event in Washington tonight. Given that nobody knows anything about the ultimate repeal of the IRA, people are just sort of befuddled about where we find ourselves. Still this was a high value event and good to see David Roberts interview Sen. Heinrich.

This was a very good Climate Rising episode on using AI to optimize electricity. I liked the details on EV charging and how utilities can use AI to respond to massive costs of supplying electricity during excessively hot or cold weather events.

Long interview, but very cool to see how a champion in any endeavor thinks. In this case college XC. Great mix of confidence, planning, pain tolerance, determination and respect for fellow competitors.

Big numbers.
New research out today from my team @rhodiumgroup.bsky.social & MIT CEEPR with our Q3 update to the Clean Investment Monitor:

Clean investment is at an all time high in the US, with $71 billion invested in Q3 2024 across manufacturing, energy & industry, and retail segments.

I just joined Bluesky and this is my first post. Great to see so many #cleanenergy leaders here. I run a #climate and #energy #communications and public affairs firm.

Excited to get smarter and weigh in when I have a decent take. Hoping for civil exchanges with fewer ads and manipulated algorithms.
