Love this new article on plug-in solar from @mjcoren.bsky.social. I've been digging into this and am excited to see it moving in the U.S. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

#Plugin #Solar

Here's my latest on how #States can move a #cleanenergy economy forward. Congress clarified what's next with tax credits. Certainty enables action.

I know everyone sings your praises, but @scottmccloud.bsky.social thought you might appreciate this reference to your W/P interactions from musician @viennateng.bsky.social talking about her cool set of songs and videos written to be a mash-up: v13.net/2025/02/vien...

Wondering how to get the funds together for a #cleanenergy project? We've been getting great feedback on these great decision-trees to walk you through how to fund these projects. rmi.org/alternative-...

Republicans in #Utah led a new solar law, which could unlock distributed energy in a way never seen in the US before. Allows anyone to plug in a solar panel WITHOUT INSTALLER OR UTILITY FEES.

UPDATE: TELL YOUR FRIENDS WHO BOUGHT EVs IN 2024 AND WERE HAVING TROUBLE CLAIMING THE TAX CREDIT

The IRS has created a fix and reopened its portal to dealers for retroactive submissions beginning today!

This chart was eye opening! We need PUCs to address this so heatpump users aren't being over-charged.

A pleasure to join Chris Tyson, Andy Rumbach, and Shanti Abedin for a conversation at the Urban Institute on #climaterisk and how to sustain homeowners. A whole day of great programming, and our panel is in the 2:36 - 3:38 mark: https://buff.ly/486VZkW

For most fleets, EVs are 9% less expensive than gas vehicles -- And that's NOT including state incentives and IS including the cost of charging stations. See the full details here: https://buff.ly/4hhG3ka

Great work https://buff.ly/3YAMveA and https://buff.ly/4hhMT9i

Really amazing to see the music video for Vienna Teng's new single.

This is part of a trilogy of songs where some crazy-cool, ground-breaking musical things are going to come together in surprising ways.

Astounded I even know this person....

What do you think of this framing? Does it resonate with you? Keep local dollars local. States have the potential to retain, on average, over $20 Billion in-state instead of sending them to the feds.

So cool - you can see what's the big fed $ potential for each state, but also how much for each energy sector. Where's the biggest opportunity for your state?

#Economicdevelopment #cleantech

It's a race to the top - who's captured the most of their big IRA funding potential? Clearly #Nevada had some big wins, but #NewMexico, #Georgia, #Tennessee are tied next, with #Ohio, #California, and #Arizona close behind. Who'll catch up in the next year?

A stanford study finds that 2/3 of large solar energy projects are litigated through NEPA, 51% of pipelines, 31% of transmission projects, 38% of wind projects. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

#permitting #energybluesky

Key policies can help #states accelerate the #cleanenergy transition, secure health benefits, + attract investment. 📈

& There’s billions in federal funding to help implement them.

See 5 key policies, mapped to federal funding sources from RMI: rmi.org/state-energy...

Yes, regional patterns matter. Also, it can be a reflection of what actions they have or haven't taken already (e. g. WA, and how MI probably changes now with their new energy laws).

(Sorry for delayed response - still getting my bluesky time rolling)

What's the most important thing to address for climate in your state between now and 2030?

Well, we had the same question - and now we have some answers. #WeBroughtCharts

My inaugural post on Bluesky - how about a poetic quote: "When we have found all the mysteries and lost all the meaning, we will be alone, on an empty shore. It's the wanting to know that makes us matter. It's the best possible time to be alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong."
