🚨New paper alert🚨 We projected the role of geothermal in the 2050 U.S. grid under multiple technology improvement and carbon scenarios. The potential of geothermal is HUGE! Check out the full paper here: dx.doi.org/10.1088/2753-3751…

It takes a loooong time to permit transmission in the US.

Congrats to PhD student Chen Chen, who won a poster award at the 21st annual Community Modeling and Analysis System conference. His research suggests that the flaring of natural gas at U.S. drilling sites contributed to dozens of premature deaths in 2019. bit.ly/3WLYvqU

Rice and MD Anderson researchers have discovered potential new drugs that work in concert with others to deliver a deadly one-two punch to leukemia. Extremely promising discovery. bit.ly/3nyQ9lY

I am excited to announce the launch of a new open-source python package that helps to wrangle high-dimensional weather model data and diverse geospatial datasets to address questions of renewable energy planning and siting (and more).🧵

great to see InMAP now could model global PM2.5!

This is infuriating - these climate activists don't speak for me. Harming every day people who are just trying to get on with their lives isn't climate action. Meanwhile, state govts, utility commissions, & astroturf groups are passing laws that actually impede climate action.
Replying to @FordFischer
"I gotta get to my wife, she's pregnant. What the fuck?" one driver got out of his car to yell at the protesters blocking the highway. "I need to get to her to have my child." Police arrived and one protester left the road, opening one lane.

#Flaring "is not just wasteful; it's actually deadly," says scholar @cohan_ds. "Particulate matter is the deadliest pollutant in the country & worldwide ... #Flares are big sources of particulate matter." Listen on @HoustonMatters (starts at 00.11.39):👂 bit.ly/3u2uZ2q
