I am at New York climate week, and at a reception put on by @ember-energy.org, who does great work in promoting the green transition. I had the pleasure of riding in an all electric boat built by Flux Marine - it moved silently through the water to the Statue of Liberty and back at an amazing speed!

My summer at @sfiscience.bsky.social is coming to an end. Along with the people, I will miss the views and hiking in the hills. Watching the moonrise from Castle Rock is something to be recommended.
See you again next year!

I'm happy to be speaking to PLAMADISO later this month about technology diffusion - and how models indicate that wind the renewable energy transition will very likely happen quickly, displacing most fossil fuels within 20 years.

Sad to say goodbye to Silver City and so many memories as I head back to New York. The Gila Theater is where I watched movies as a child, and once won an award in a contest held for kids after the movies. I sang The Battle of New Orleans, a song that does not speak favorably of the British.

Still wondering if #MakingSenseOfChaos is worth reading? Can I persuade you in 90 seconds? My book is an adventure story.

It is nice to see my ancient paper, which has largely gone unnoticed, receiving attention with a mention in this The New Yorker article.

Without their support, because I was working in a field that was not well defined, there would have been no hope for me to finish graduate school.
