@energysmartwv do you happen to have a commercial-scale doppelgänger? I’m interested generally and specifically currently looking for someone with IRA tax credit insights on water-source heat pumps.

@zeynebmagavi how did the TedX Talk go? Not sure if they get posted somewhere, but would love to see it!

I need an #EnergyTransition / mobile lifestyle ruling on this one @chrisnelder. Does this count as #electrification?

The “nice” thing about a 2 1/2 year global pandemic is that we have plenty of N-95 masks sitting by the door to deal with the effects of that other global crisis.
Remember in September when we thought the air quality looked bad? It’s way worse now. Find air quality information via @EcologyWA: wasmoke.blogspot.com/ An N-95 mask may be your savior if you have to venture outside in this. This is the view of the Space Needle now.
Pre-insulation. 1 of 3 mini-split headers. #electrifyeverthing is manifesting before my eyes in the backyard cottage in Seattle. (Planning to add to our strained housing inventory in ~nov if you are looking to rent)
200 handwritten postcards. I hope my late grandma is proud! #vote #Election2022 join the effort via @Postcards2WIN or turnoutpac.org/postcards/

Another great story about global solutions coming from emerging economies. nytimes.com/2022/09/04/busin… #EVs
Even my daughter got the not-so-subtle theme music in this episode ;)
In Ep. 179, @patrickgilman of the DOE’s Wind Energy Technologies Office gives us the update on the nascent US offshore wind sector, which is poised for massive expansion. The US needs to build a LOT of enabling infrastructure & create a lot of good jobs! bit.ly/3dG76tb
I guess those signs are there for a good reason!?
Electrification install under way in the backyard cottage. Mitsubishi heatpump coming soon. Belated thanks to @energysmartwv

I called my congressional leaders. How about you? 202-318-1885 #call4Climate (Takes a few mins)
Americans gave us the House, the Senate, and the White House to deliver on our promises. There’s still more work to do, but the Inflation Reduction Act is a great start. Let’s get this done.

@JesseJenkins how’s the blood pressure?
I know this just gets things started but very glad to see that 50th vote. What takes them so long. Do the need to submit stone tablets in triplicate? #voteorama
I just called my congressional representatives to express support for the IRA… really did only take a few mins call4climate.com
Just listened to @drvolts podcast with the amazing @JesseJenkins and @leahstokes about the IRA bill. This is our last big chance to get real impactful climate policy in what might be a decade of policy gridlock to come. Its not perfect but its damn good: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
My favorite video from my recent summer vacation (taken in a kayak on Flathead Lake in Cat Bay.) #NotADog!
Scorcher in #mt leads to two new #fires
I liked @chrisnelder ‘s assumption about what would be a good intro track for episode 176 on climate scenarios. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…
