Stay safe everyone, we’re already hearing reports of widespread power outages. If you still have power charge phones and find flashlights and candles!

"Storms winding down and moving away, with rainbow outbreak in wake" - from @capitalweather and isn't that the nicest headline?

In this @UMichiganNews Q&A, professors Nigel Melville (@MichiganRoss) and Shobita Parthasarathy (@FordSchool) discuss the need to emphasize AI’s societal impacts over technological advancements. myumi.ch/y2zdV
ALT "I would look at two sectors in particular I think hold great promise for AI, generative AI in particular. One would be pharmaceutical and drug development. For example, coming up with new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. These are monumental problems and challenges facing millions of people throughout the world. AI can and is starting to now address those problems." Nigel Melville, PhD, associate professor of technology and operations, Michigan Ross
“And instead of starting with surprise launches that force solutions on people, the efforts should begin on the ground, with community conversations that strive to understand the concerns these technologies raise and to make the case for why we need to understand them better.”

Turbulence is getting worse because of climate change. @jesse_caps explains why, and warns that we can't really look to the past for guidance about the future climate anymore.
A consequence of #climatechange is increases in atmospheric turbulence resulting in bumpier flights. I provided some comments on this topic to @IBTimes, including how historical data is becoming less reliable, increasing the need for physics-based modeling ibtimes.com/climate-change-m…

Thanks to feedback from fans on Twitter and elsewhere, we updated our guidance on use of the word "incident."
Try to avoid this term, which is vague and often used as jargon by police and others. Instead, be specific about what happened. That includes later references.

Washtenaw County Commission just unanimously passed a resolution to do a legal analysis into the creation of a county wide public power utility!

It will be up to regulators in statehouses and on public service commissions to ensure that utilities prioritize projects that drive emissions reductions, save families money, and reduce pollution.

It was SUCH a treat to collaborate with the incredible @emilygrubert on this paper. In it, we peer into how utility decision-making could shape how 45Q in the #InflationReductionAct is implemented.
The numbers show just how important regulatory oversight will be to outcomes👇
Pretty excited about this one: new, open access at ERIS, @FrancesSawyer33 and I looked at how the carbon sequestration tax credit (45Q) might behave for US fossil power under profit maximization vs cost minimization.
TL;DR we could spend a huge amount of money to /increase/ GHGs

We have a new paper out on socioeconomic inequalities in power restoration. This was a great collaboration, and I hope it spurs others to do more research on this issue.

I had a chance to talk with NPR's @aprilbaer about the ice storm and power outages today. Planning for power system resilience in the face of climate-related weather events is a challenge! omny.fm/shows/stateside/ice-…

I prepared the information below, which is a list of materials released or burned during the #EastPalestineOH train derailment.
There has been a lot of public discussion about VOCs. I encourage communication about SVOCs and other materials. Rapid testing should blanket the area
