“Much of the reductions required can be achieved with today’s technology. But to be on track to net zero and also be on a 1.5º C compliant pathway, the U.S. must get started right away,” EI's @robbieorvis on our just released research. (via @adele_peters)

Thank you to the companies standing up for clean energy in IL! But why are so many big influential companies MIA? @Google @Facebook @amazon @Apple have all committed to 100% clean energy - if it's good enough for you, what about the rest of IL?
Thank you @commonspirit @salesforce @IKEAUSA @Microsoft @MarsGlobal @unileverusa @NestleUSA @SeventhGen @Siemens @PayPal @SchneiderNA @Uplight @AdvocateAurora @Lutron @CreeLighting @ImpossibleFoods @JLL and others for calling for #IL #ClimateAction.

The hardest climate futures to talk about are the most likely: Those that occupy the space between "we're doomed" and "everything is fine".
Neither extreme is true. How far along that spectrum the world falls depends on our actions now.

We had a great time meeting with @uofmemphis' IEEE chapter where our Engineering & O&M teams gave students a virtual tour of our nearby Millington Solar Farm & discussed the exciting career opportunities these projects present students across the country. @USNavy @MLGW @TVAnews

Can energy production coexist with agriculture? In our plants it is possible! At the Aurora solar farm in the United States, we produce 210 million kWh of sustainable energy per year by promoting our innovative agrivoltaics model 👇

So happy to have the opportunity to talk with you about analysis conducted by the amazing @phadkeamol, @Nikit_Abhyankar, and Umed Paliwal with @RicOConnell8, @taylormmcnair, and @oboylemm - the 2035 Report was such a fun and gratifying project to work on. 2035report.com/

Batteries, like solar, have plunged in cost far faster than forecasts.
In 2011, @BloombergNEF expected average battery pack prices to hit $350/kWh in 2020. We passed that in 2015/16.
With our 2020 battery price survey under way it will be interesting to see how close we are to the $132/kWh we forecast last year.

Why do some technologies (e.g solar) plunge in cost from extremely rapid learning rates, while others improve more slowly? Very interesting framework here for understanding the differences.
Thread (#1): What explains technologies' huge differences in experience tares? In a brand new paper in @Joule_CP, @absmalhotra and Tobi Schmidt argue it is the combination of 2 factors: complexity and customization need, see fig👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2020…

In 2019, companies that burned Illinois coal released more than 82 million tons of heat-trapping CO2. “To align your state’s energy policies w/ your climate & health goals, you have to do something about coal mining,” says @brucenilles. (via @scribeguy)

Whoa. Solar energy would need to grow by about 50x (!!) by 2060 over China's already world-leading PV generation in 2019 to meet carbon-neutral target, based on this @Tsinghua_Uni pathway. Bloomberg @climate suggests that study is in collaboration w gov't bloombergquint.com/onweb/chi…
