Today's @BW cover story is something I've worked on for the past six months. It's about how the US lost the battery race to China, told through the rise and fall of an American battery startup, A123 Systems. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

High-resolution satellite data pinpoints a methane plume in Turkmenistan that @ghgsat attributes to the oil and gas sector. The image is part of an exclusive series of observations being published during #COP27 climate talks. This project is free to read trib.al/b6gTCtV

The storm surge is so powerful from #HurricaneIan that it has brought a shark into the city streets of Fort Myers. 🎥@BradHabuda

Hey #replus22 why are all the EV chargers in the Anaheim CC garage broken? Where does one charge an EV rental? The hotels have gates blocking access to theirs.

Nearly all Bitcoin mining load in TX has been turned off as the state's grid nears breaking point, TBA said. The tightest hour today expected to be 2-3pm local time with generating capacity only 0.6% above anticipated demand, ERCOT said. Story below: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

In 2020, the entirety of global power generation growth came from renewable sources. It's a first, for many reasons. But, it's also only part of the global story, and what comes next is even more interesting. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Today’s date (using U.S. style) is both a palindrome and an ambigram, which means it reads the same even if it’s flipped upside down.

Meanwhile, @cleantechchris at @business reports Bitcoin miners are already earning 700% returns selling contracted power back to the Texas grid when electricity prices reach a mere $200 per MWh. That's 100x less than what @tdechant says. What gives? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Wasn’t this true 10 years ago?

Big ground breaking today for $6m renovation of Reservoir 3. This gem has been discussed for 30 years and now it will finally come to be the world class park it should be. A true urban oasis.

ERCOT, the Q&A thread [so far]. Q: What is going on? A: The current weather event in Texas is beyond anything that we have experienced in modern memory. I don’t recall another time when all 254 counties in TX were under a winter storm warning. 1/ – at Texas, USA

Confusing media silence on @BOEM_DOI termination of Vineyard Wind project (after temporary pause) PLUS memo saying offshore wind can't interfere w/ fishing operations. What does it mean for fishermen, other projects & public? @SamEBNHPR @bstorrow @davabel @AudioBruce @jbarnesnews
