This is the most exciting talk I have seen in a long time. You have 10 minutes right now. Watch @DKeithClimate explain how solar power could drive direct air capture to create synthetic hydrocarbons. This would solve the air transport climate problem.
@DKeithClimate “The big news here is that this could be done with commodity hardware starting soon. If the world really wants to decarbonize, you could get to something like a million barrels a day of air to fuels, synthetic hydrocarbon capacity, I think soon after 2030." - @DKeithClimate
@DKeithClimate "We need to solve the fuels problem as well as solving electrification. This is a realistic pathway to do it." - @DKeithClimate

This is why the environmental community needs to get more educated about direct air capture.

This week I gave a talk @MIT about climate policy and politics. I mentioned that the Institute continues to take money for climate research from fossil fuel companies that still promote climate denial.

Here's the link to watch my talk.
@MIT In the talk, I also discuss the fantastic research on climate policy and politics from @NaomiOreskes @GeoffreySupran @J_Farrell @mmildenberger @chadhazlett.

And I gave lots of credit to the excellent work of @sunrisemvmt @GretaThunberg @AOC in highlighting this crisis.
@MIT @NaomiOreskes @GeoffreySupran @J_Farrell @mmildenberger @chadhazlett @sunrisemvmt @GretaThunberg @AOC I feel deeply honored to have been invited back to my alma mater to talk about the climate crisis. @MIT has given me so much. This is the talk I am most proud of giving in my life. I hope you will watch it.

Every single Democratic debate has opened up with about 30 minutes on one issue: healthcare.

The media is abdicating its responsibility to talk about the big issues we face, writes @DLeonhardt.

What issues, you ask? CLIMATE CHANGE.
nytimes.com/2019/10/27/opi…
@DLeonhardt "Climate change threatens the well-being of the planet and everyone who lives on it. The next president can save more lives and better improve human health by slowing climate change than by improving health insurance." -@DLeonhardt

@DLeonhardt Thank you @DLeonhardt for speaking the truth and writing this excellent piece. Much appreciated.

Climate change has been with us for a long time already. Read @MaryHeglar's haunting reflections on Hurricane Katrina. guernicamag.com/after-the-stor…
"I remembered the meteorologists explaining how hurricanes start off the coast of Africa and gather strength as they cross the Atlantic, following almost exactly the route of slave ships.

I wondered if Katrina was really a 14-year old boy named Emmett." - @MaryHeglar
"When the power came back on, we saw it all with our own eyes. We saw that the towns on the coast had been completely washed away. I can still hear Governor Barbour’s voice: 'I don’t mean they were badly damaged. I mean they’re simply not there.'" -@MaryHeglar

1. Time to make minor updates to my #solar unpopular opinions thread, since this seems to be a good way to organize thoughts.

If you like these, you’ll like my book, Solar Power Without the Jargon. tinyurl.com/y4bsswty
2018 #unpopularopinions: tinyurl.com/y5nh3axb
2. Solar Power Without the Jargon is the book I should have read before seeking a job in renewables, from the perspective of having worked in this for 14 years. It’s short and not too serious; one reviewer said it “made me laugh quite a few times”.

Here is today's Beto version. Lets change minds.
@donniecash818
@JLYMusic

We are going to invite a guest speaker to thread today.
He is widely known in the renewable industry. He wrote an article about ending Fossil Fuel Welfare.
@CajunBlueAZ1 @Maltomash @donniecash818 @JLYMusic Good morning:
Until 2016, solar had experienced an average annual growth rate of 68%. Nearly 260,000 Americans worked in solar - more than double the number in 2012 - at more than 9,000 companies in every U.S. state.
@CajunBlueAZ1 @Maltomash @donniecash818 @JLYMusic The cost to install solar has dropped by more than 70% since 2010, leading the industry to expand into new markets and deploy thousands of systems nationwide.

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."

1/ Quick take on the Trump tariff on imported solar cells is that people are going to lose their jobs. Simple Math: Tariffs increases solar costs. Higher costs means less solar. Less solar means fewer jobs. #Solar
2/ Trump country will lose out the most. Big growth in utility scale solar is in the Southeast, Texas and Southwest. All those Southeast solar markets will be hurt MORE by Trump tariffs because they are the most cost sensitive #Solar
3/ The regions of the country with high electricity prices like California and Massachusetts will be hurt but not as much as Trump country. CA and MA markets will see lower margins for developers but don't expect lots of cancellations. Still TBD. #solar

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
