Meet Lonnie Johnson, the NASA engineer that invented the Super Soaker. Now he's a climatetech entrepreneur working on a truly solid state battery as well as an entirely new type of engine. Here's my interview via @CanaryMediaInc : canarymedia.com/articles/fun-s

A great example of the problem of electrify everything. Also wowza to those install prices.

I write about my saga installing a climate-friendly heat pump water heater after my gas water heater suddenly failed and give some tips to alleviate the hassle, if not the cost. bloomberg.com/news/articles/

I know I'm preaching to the #energytwitter choir with threads like this, but like Michael, I was skeptical of how bad gas stoves are when I started reading more mainstream news reports of the research. I am not skeptical anymore #electrifyeverything

Researchers just found that gas stoves are responsible for 12.7% of childhood asthma cases. Recently I read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality. I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests. Here's what I learned.

$7500 for an installed ducted heat pump @rewiringamerica ?!?! The equipment alone costs more than that! Stop setting up inflated expectations. You’re fucking those of us in the field. There’s no way to recover from this, consumers think we’re scamming them.

Part 2 of our series on California's looming end to net metering looks at how regulators have tied the value of rooftop solar and batteries to how they help the grid - and how grid services could help make up for what they'll lose in a post-NEM world: canarymedia.com/articles/solar

Ok, so
@jeffsaintjohn
just nerded out on #heatpump efficiency standards yesterday. But we're back for more. Talk about low-hanging fruit. We lag most of the world in AC efficiency. By a lot. boo!
