    Thinking about climate action, it seems that there’s an unquestioned belief that the economic systems that has led to vast income inequality, racial inequity, environmental degradation, & resource wars will also be the same framework that will deliver effective climate solutions.

    I bet you all thought Energy Twitter was all out of takes. But I can't help feel that many economists who are less embedded in wholesale electricity are drawing the wrong conclusions, both from the paper and the debate it spurred. (cc'ing some: )

    Hmm. Bison on the road and they don’t seem to want to move.

    Greenstone et al. are wrong. It is incredibly frustrating to see a *very* half-baked, error-ridden draft gaining so much needless traction in policy debates. This is a good reason I'm very skeptical of any claims made by economists. It feels like 10% analysis, 90% ideology.

    This seems like an entirely reasonable request. If a plant wants a bailout, it should publicly show its financials & demonstrate the need for subsidies.

    I am in South Dakota and I just had 3 beers for like $6. I can’t believe I have missed out on this for so long.

    Hey Twitter--which US water use volumes do you think are known? Curious about perceptions for a variety of reasons and appreciate the input!

    unpopular opinion: I'm not alarmed by activists using 12-year frame to talk about climate action. I honestly think it's working well to describe the short runway that we have to *mobilize* for climate action (which is of course not the same as getting to 0 emissions in 12 years)

    At a workshop at with state regulators to develop a shared model of GHG emissions reductions that everyone can use for their rule making. In other words, time for everyone in the audience pick out what’s wrong with my current model.

    Omg Pittsburgh airport is basically in Ohio. Probably next only to Denver in being so far away.

    I’ve been working in prisons for five years now & there is not a single person in there who doesn’t deserve the right to vote. To suggest otherwise is to have a myopic, regressive view of who & is not deserving of citizenship.

    Incredibly moving testimony from Jane Worthington on how her daughter was affected by benzene toxicity from nearby oil and gas developments. They have been in and out of hospitals ever since. We must act now!

    Any regulations for new wells must be extended to existing wells and low producing wells. Methane must be addressed directly and not through VOC regulations.

    "Global warming has increased global economic inequality" by Diffenbaugh & Burke in PNAS makes a strong case that warming has "exacerbated ... inequality associated with historical disparities in energy consumption," low C sources would help alleviate it.

    I might not be Sanders’ fan but this is absolutely correct. The bedrock of a democratic society is that every person has the right to vote. Period. Once you start adding caveats to that, you’re opening the door to creating a class of lesser citizens.

    This is great. There's apparently a theoretical paper that shows the opposite of 'conventional wisdom' on efficiency of carbon pricing.

    This is uncontroversial only in theory. I wonder if there’s empirical evidence from any jurisdiction that actually proves this. Economists have repeated this for so long that it has almost become accepted wisdom.

    There should be some restrictions on academics (however famous they are) circulating their work in the press *before* peer-review. And seeing as anybody could have predicted this, I question the authors' movitation in pushing it out to the public.

    In adventures on , today I’m traveling to Pittsburgh from Philly! It’s been fun & central PA is quite beautiful, as long as you don’t have to drive on the pothole ridden roads. And I got quite a bit of work done as well.
