When should climate tech startups begin thinking about policy? What do pol campaigns and startups share in common? And what's the big thing team Biden can do to accelerate the tech we need? Listen to my pod convo w/ @jjacobs22 @mcjpod. #energytwitter myclimatejourney.co/episodes…

The new Gist is out! #Climatetech is working to tackle the fashion industry – we need to clean up our catwalks! Fashion makes up 5% of global emissions with 40% from yarn production alone. theadhocgroup.com/the-ad-hoc…

But we won’t get anywhere without better fabrics. @circ_earth and Recover Fabrics are working on recycling fabrics. @Rubi_earth and @mangomaterials are creating low-carbon fabrics. In fact, Rubi is made FROM carbon emissions.

New York’s proposed Fashion Act would require large retailers to map their supply chains and set and pursue emissions reduction targets. The European Commission will have comprehensive rules in place by 2028.

We’re back with a new Gist, talking about EV charger reliability (outside the home) and why it’s one of the last roadblocks to getting people to replace their gas guzzlers with electron eaters. mailchi.mp/theadhocgroup/ev-…

How bad is EV charger uptime? @JDPower survey respondents say one out of five EV chargers is broken. So pretty bad. We don’t want to strand EV drivers so they end up back with a gas-powered car.

EV charger uptime requires policy fixes. EV chargers getting federal (NEVI) funds require 97% uptime. But state plans lack details on how they'll enforce that.

Not to fear, there are interesting startups working on EV charger issues including

Why did we get to such a bad place with EV charger uptime? A couple of reasons. Complex tech. Unattended stations. Split incentives.

I appreciated the chance to share my thoughts on SVB’s impact on climate tech startups with @evanhalper of @washingtonpost and what it may mean moving forward for the energy transition.
14 Mar 2023
Our CEO @jkapsis spoke to @evanhalper on what the SVB fallout means for climate tech startups in the long term. AHG friends @ConnectDER and @DandelionEnergy interviewed on what it was like to lose access to their cash. washingtonpost.com/business/…

Thought @RoKhanna did a great job on @FaceTheNation explaining the giant impact that SVB's demise could have on the survival of climate tech startups, other innovators, and the regional banking industry unless FDIC/Treasury take definitive action before markets open tomorrow.

"We certainly are working to address the situation in a timely way," Secretary Yellen says in regard to my question about whether the US expects a deal or something to reassure the markets before trading resumes in Asia tonight. $SVIB @FaceTheNation

I asked Treasury Secretary Yellen if she had ruled out government intervention in regard to Silicon Valley Bank. She said that "we're not going to do that [bank bailout] again" but the US is "concerned about depositors" & focused on their needs. Ahead on @FaceTheNation $SVIB

I’ve said it before. We can’t solve climate change without carbon dioxide removal. That’s the topic of this month’s Gist. mailchi.mp/theadhocgroup/car…

Last week, 20 companies banded together to launch the Carbon Removal Alliance (CRA). This emerging industry needs to advocate for policies at the federal and state level that create a market for permanent CDR solutions.

In the Gist, we tackle how both blue and red states can win with the right policies. CA & MA are looking to spur CDR removal with the new proposed legislature. States like Wyoming are positioning themselves to be DAC Hubs.
