If you try and don’t quit, sometimes you get to know that you tried and didn’t quit! Kudos to Grid Strategies’ Nathan Shreve for #3 in age group. I got pulled out of the 4.4mile Cheaspeake Bay Swim along with 25% of field after 3.75mi fighting headwinds and waves. Next time.

I wonder what % of homeowners with rooftop solar know this. Any surveys?
ICYMI from the weekend: @lauramillan.bsky.social and I looked at why most of Spain's rooftop solar owners weren't shielded from the effects of the blackout - and why most Europeans have panels that don't work when the power is off. Gift link:
Why Spain’s Rooftop Solar Owners Weren’t Spared From the Blackout
The power outage across the nation this week shows that installing rooftop solar doesn't automatically guarantee owners energy independence.

President’s Executive Orders fail to recognize that natural gas killed coal and if they aren’t banning fracking, none of this accomplishes much. 1/9

Whenever you think about the remarkable progress of geothermal, remember that this has been the level of public funding supporting the sector. In coming years I expect support to catch up with technologies like hydrogen and CCS and it will be transformational. carnegieendowment.orgundefined?lang=en

MIT's @briancdeese.bsky.social & Grid Strategies' @robgramlichdc.bsky.social lay out a quick, cheap way to expand the US grid, without building new transmission lines.
It's the closest thing to "a $20 bill sitting on the sidewalk as policymakers may ever encounter."

Advanced transmission technologies could sidestep permitting challenges and clear the bottleneck holding up hundreds of gigawatts’ worth of renewable-energy projects.

New op-ed on the potential for Advanced Transmission Technologies by the former Director of the White House National Economic Council!
"Laws or regulations that facilitate the use of ATTs can quickly expand the grid and save consumers money. They should be an easy yes on both sides of the aisle."
