Geez, what a crazy idea! What thinkest thou, @duncancampbell @JigarShahDC anyone? Does this reflect the "conventional wisdom? 😬

I hope @JigarShahDC keeps banging out these loans. Awesome work.

This is huge. I had not heard of Project Polaris. Is this something they had in the wings? I'm a little concerned about the competitive impacts. Is PG&E going to own all these assets?

This week’s fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has unleashed a wave of public feeling — exasperation, anger, resentment, helplessness — from Americans sharing personal stories of interactions with insurance companies, often seen as faceless corporate giants. to.pbs.org/3VuHe6B

Brought my family to the Klamath River this weekend to join tribal leaders & allies to celebrate completion of the largest dam removal project in American history.🙌🏿🙌🏼🙌🏾 Here’s the Klamath River now: acting like a river, opening 400 miles of salmon habitat.👇🏼

‘He’s Putin’s shithouse cleaner. He does everything for little Vladi that little Vladi can’t do for himself: pisses on European unity, pisses on human rights, pisses on NATO.

Good description of the politics of this bill.

We are closely monitoring anticipated increased geomagnetic activity beginning May 10, 2024. @ENERGY and @DOE_CESER is in contact with industry partners, including @NERC_Official, and is prepared to support as needed and appropriate.

A new report from @EnergyInnovLLC finds that regulators & utilities can meet a surge in energy demand in the short term with a portfolio of solutions including demand response programs and grid enhancing technologies, rather than additional gas capacity. latitudemedia.com/news/utili…

Donald Trump’s campaign team says he would prioritize cutting taxes for working-class families and small businesses if he returns to the White House. But privately, Trump has told allies that he is keenly interested in cutting corporate tax rates again. wapo.st/3tS2UyS

Catastrophe unfolding now at al-Shifa hospital: I summarize comments of hospital director Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya, speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic about 30 minutes ago: There are about 7,000 people under total siege inside al-Shifa compound, including 650 injured people, 45 dialysis patients and 36 premature babies. A few hours ago one dialysis patient died and 4 are at imminent risk of death because no power for dialysis machines. Three premature babies died in recent days. Two injured persons died in recent hours due to lack of treatment. There is no water, fuel or electricity. Israel broke the main water line into the hospital. There is no purified water to make the special formula for the babies, so they are using ordinary water and some have become sick with diarrhea, infections, fever. There is no food. Children are starving and distressed. There is no medicine and the wounds of injured people are becoming horribly infected, some with maggots. Hospital administrators tried to send a delegation to the occupation forces to ask for food, fuel, medicine and safe evacuation of the sick and injured but the Israelis refused to to talk to them. The hospital is besieged from all sides by tanks and bulldozers. The bulldozers are destroying areas around the compound, but no one can see clearly what they are doing. Anyone who tries to move between hospital buildings is shot at by snipers or drones. There are hundreds of soldiers in the hospital compound searching all over and causing severe damage to hospital premises and equipment. In the 48 hours the occupation forces have been inside the hospital or on its grounds not a single shot has been fired at them. No one can leave the hospital or enter it. The situation is disastrous not just for people in Shifa but for anyone in Gaza City who is injured or becomes ill, because no one can reach the hospital and the hospital can't do anything for them anyway. Anyone who has a heart attack or a stroke at home will die. Dr. Abu Salmiya says "We hold the world responsible" for what he calls a genocide. "We are waiting for slow death."

"No justification"

When two 4-year-old boys were killed - one Palestinian, one Israeli - their deaths were denied on social media. I’ve investigated what happened to Omar and Omer, tracking down family, friends & witnesses, distressed by posts. Symbolic of information war. bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-…

🚀 I’m hiring an Optimization and Energy Modeling Engineer to work at @ScaleMicrogrids ⚡️ This is an incredible opportunity for someone who is interested in this work. They can build models that are used to rapidly design and deploy real steel in the ground. We already have a great project development platform, and with you we can take it to the next level. And because we have a standardized microgrid development system, you’ll be able to build a power system optimizer that has access to: - A DER library (solar, batteries, generators, switchboards, etc.) with real commercial costs, specs, warranties, timelines, and more that are continuously validated by our product and procurement teams. - A bottoms up installation cost model that is specific to markets, DERs, various dynamic inputs, labor, and more that is continuously updated by our applications engineering and project management teams. - A real project finance model that is specific to our comprehensive capital stack. Project equity, tax equity, debt, and advanced financial analysis. No goofy academic metrics like LCOE here. This is one of the few opportunities in this type of work to build something that actually reflects the full surface area of reality and produces the actual best answer. You’ll work closely with an incredible and collaborative team: - awesome project analysts that are the best in the game - software engineers with experience ranging from VC backed startups to NREL - power engineers that have done everything from rehabbing oil refinery power systems to designing Apple products I am confident that together we can make the best microgrid development software that’s ever existed.
