    If you're on here a month since the election scraeming about voter fraud (which was virtually non-existent), then maybe your policy arguments about every other topic are also not Good and you should be ignored from now until the heat death of the universe

    Do we need Carbon Capture & Storage? Yes, probably need more than we can feasibly build... Here is my presentation, where I dissect a scenario, hosted by

    I've also been very frustrated by McKinsey's complete opacity about the data and methods they used for their MAC curves. How can anyone tell whether their cost estimates are plausible if we can't see their data and methods?

    MAC curves are a fundamentally flawed tool because they completely fail to account for path-dependency. Don't believe me? Look at the difference between McKinsey MAC curves today and a decade or so ago. Suppose the current one is right, then the old one was *hopelessly* wrong.

    Happy Friday.

    Unless emissions decline rapidly in coming years, the world is on track to soon pass 1.5C above preindustrial levels. In a new analysis we use the latest climate models (CMIP6) to determine when the world will likely exceed 1.5C and 2C warming: 1/10

    In a new working paper, & I try to clarify the relationship carbon removal/NETs & carbon capture and storage (CCS). Our message? Stop obsessing over tech categories and focus on 2 questions: where does the carbon come from and where does it go? 🧵

    A matrix showing how the source and destination of captured carbon determines its role in climate policy.

    This is a super cool idea by and happens to be one that and I can use as an excuse to fire up the way way way back machine and highlight our paper on National Institutes of Energy from ... 2009.

    To reduce duplication, focus the government’s efforts, and get the most innovation out of every dollar of funding, we should create a new organization: the National Institutes of Energy Innovation.

    Absolutely correct. Time is of the essence, we are already far behind schedule on climate mitigation. Order of operations: eliminate coal emissions, then natural gas and oil. When that's done, we can talk about nuclear. Is this a climate crisis or not?

    This is not complicated. If we are going to decarbonize the power sector by 2050, or an even more ambitious 2035, as the Biden plan calls for, we simply cannot be taking carbon-free resources off line.
