Thank you to our firefighters, fire agencies & departments, and all other personnel who are working tirelessly to battle the ongoing wildfires and protect us.
Stay safe, everyone!
Smoke clogs the sky above California as the Oak Fire rages, burning more than 15,000 acres in central California and prompting Gov. Gavin Newsom to proclaim a state of emergency. abcn.ws/3PPHx6t
Onshore wind capacity grew substantially in 2020, supplying over 8% of national electricity generation. However, this number can grow substantially, and there is a large potential of land available for further wind development across the U.S.. Read more: link.medium.com/8B1bCkV2Lrb
The UK recently released a new energy security strategy, including expansion of offshore wind and solar PV production. Read more about how they can transition to 100% WWS by 2050:

Amidst energy uncertainty from the Russia-Ukraine war, Germany is still on track to net zero emissions by 2050. Check out its plan for nearly 100% clean electricity by 2035. Can Germany make it to 100% by 2050? Read more here: link.medium.com/xGw5qzZq9qb
This summer, we're all feeling the impacts of climate change — especially those living in hot, arid regions like Pakistan.
Climate change made the early onset of heat waves in the Indian subcontinent 30 times more likely. In Jacobabad, Pakistan, one of the hottest cities on the planet, it's putting the health and livelihoods of nearly 200,000 people at risk.

Time to start putting floating solar PV on reservoirs to reduce evaporation & simultaneously reduce CO2 from fossils w/o using land
It's not even summer, and California's two largest reservoirs are at 'critically low' levels latimes.com/california/story… @latimes #WWS #WindWaterSolar
Hydrogen will play a vital role in the global energy transition - however, green hydrogen is the only hydrogen that is an ally of decarbonization. Read more about the role hydrogen plays in our future here:
