How will the 2023 energy landscape look different from years past? In a special 10-minute episode of the Path to Zero podcast, I'm sharing my 2023 predictions on five important #energy topics: ow.ly/ksMp50MiG6o

Each winter, Americans have questions about supply of #propane & other fuels. I appeared on TD Ameritrade Network to address some of these concerns and how events happening around the world show the dire need for American energy independence: ow.ly/TnSf50LotKL #cleanenergy

How do we reduce emissions today? We can't wait for the "someday" that all-electric advocates say will come. As I told yesterday, #propane is a #clean #energy solution we can put to work for us NOW, as a standalone fuel & with other energy sources #environmentaljustice

Do you know what makes renewable propane a clean and sustainable energy source? In an eight minute-long Path to Zero podcast special, I explain the basics of #renewable propane: how it's made, its chemical composition, and why it is the future of #propane:

In Dec. 2021, renewable energy made up 24% of electricity generation, but it wasn’t enough to stop the largest rise in CO2 emissions because of heavier reliance on coal. No wonder experts are now saying we can’t meet our climate goals:

The same type of tech uses for its space flights is now powered by #propane to create electricity for homes. Just like NASA drives advances in science to enhance stewardship of the Earth, researchers at have a similar mission: cutting GHG emissions by 50%.

Green transportation leader has a new B6.7-liter displacement propane engine. It signals an approach to optimize the performance of delivery, transit, and school bus fleets so they don't miss a beat while we meet emissions goals.

A reminder that diversifying energy resources is key to remaining #resilient in vulnerable circumstances. #Propane already does this for many communities in the U.S. by providing reliable and clean backup power to renewables.

When is enough, enough? In a new podcast, I talk to 's who was on the ground during Uri. Her stories are not ones we want to become commonplace across America. But it’s where we’re headed if we continue to ignore alts like #propane.

Glad to see fellow climate advocate explain in how relying solely on renewables & electricity is dangerous. We cannot risk our lives on one source of energy, or even a few. Only a robust mix gives us the best chance of #resiliency.

Because NY's electricity is primarily produced by nat gas, propane is actually lower in carbon intensity versus the grid, and will keep getting cleaner with renewable sources. Does NYC’s proposal to require 100% electric buses by 2035 make sense?

Using funds from the recently passed infrastructure bill, a school district in MO is purchasing new propane buses as a cheaper alternative that will significantly reduce emissions and give children a healthy ride to school.

While IEA’s Renewables Market Report says that renewables are set for a record year, it’s still not enough to be net-zero by 2050. Why not fill in the gaps while we wait for PV and electricity to catch up by using propane to accelerate decarbonization?

Another step toward reinstating propane heaters for use by restaurants in NYC. Propane is a safe, efficient, low-emissions energy source that restaurant owners and residents of NYC alike should be able to rely on to get through this winter successfully.

Will we be able to get enough solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries -- whose supply chains are largely overseas -- to meet our climate goals? Why not use a clean, domestic fuel like propane?

I agree with ’ that grid independence is key. Propane works with renewables like solar to keep the power on regardless of the grid's status and the sun shining. Many already use these systems today, ready for the next storm.

As COP26 wraps up, 1 thing is clear: Short-term plans are not meeting long-term promises. Many renewable energies are still far from being scalable and affordable. We must use clean resources available now, like propane, to help get us to net zero on time.

At #COP26, let’s hope leaders keep all solutions in mind. We have no use for a silver bullet – we need a silver buckshot approach instead. We must put every available decarbonization strategy, imperfect as they all are, to work immediately. That will get results. #cleanenergy

on role of #altfuels in decarbonization at #NASEOAnnualMeeting21. “a narrow path to electrification may be reliable but is not resilient.” Propane can bolster emergency & disaster response b/c it’s easy to store and can be transported in multiple ways
