During a grid emergency in 2020, @ohmconnect “suppressed enough electrical demand to replace the output from an entire gas-fired power station,” @JustinHGillis writes. “This type of demand management needs to expand rapidly.” nyti.ms/38EwjhS
Great thread on which US states have the highest electric power sector emissions/where opportunity lies/where a lot of hard work needs to be done.
Which US states can contribute most to Biden's 2030 target? New analysis here to help address this question, focused on electricity (thread). This one got me: New England, CA, & NY produce less than 5% of US power emissions, but comprise 22% of population! energytransitions.org/articl…

Quick (chart) thread on Ercot generation during the power outages.
Can't recall who made this plot, but it's excellent (albeit without y-axes!!).
Changes over time are informative, but not the whole story.

If you are registered to vote in NC but moved WITHIN the county before October 4, here’s what to do 1) go to old polling place, check yours at vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/ — you can either get a transfer slip and go to new polling place OR vote a provisional at old one (more .. ) /1
Vote! NC does not have same day registration, but look at those other 19 states and DC where you can register and vote today!
Did you know 21 states and DC have same day and Election Day voter registration? Meaning you can vote today even if not previously registered?

“We’re going to continue to see coal plants retire,” said Kate Konschnik of Duke University’s Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions. “The big question now is whether those plants get replaced with gas or cleaner energy.”

1. Time to make minor updates to my annual “opinions on #solar” thread.
If you like these, you’ll like my 2019 book, Solar Power Finance Without the Jargon. Five stars on Amazon, apparently “entertaining” and writer knows her stuff”. Also available here: tinyurl.com/y6lc3ohl

NEW from me: During the last economic crisis, Congress approved $90 billion for clean energy -- and the solar and wind industries boomed. How the Obama-era Recovery Act could serve as a model for a clean energy stimulus today: latimes.com/environment/stor…

NEW: At the corporate level, Duke Energy is telling investors that it's addressing climate change risks.
But in North Carolina, Duke is currently fighting to keep climate *out* of its rate cases and grid investment plans.
