1/ Last week, I helped host a workshop on Macro-Energy Systems, building on ideas we laid out in a paper published last summer - here's a thread about that paper and my hopes for the field. cell.com/joule/pdf/S2542-435…

Today was a special day at Form Factory 1! We’ve officially completed factory construction and started trial production. To celebrate, we hosted an event to say thank you to all those in West Virginia that made this achievement possible. We were joined at the event by @WVGovernor Jim Justice, WV Senator @RyanWeld, CEO of @xcelenergy Bob Frenzel, City Manager of Weirton Mike Adams, and many other leaders from the wider West Virginia community who helped support Form Factory 1 since day 1. The event featured behind-the-scenes tours of our factory floor, festivities showcasing local businesses and artisans, and special appearances from the one and only @WestVirginiaU Mountaineer mascot and @BabydogJustice! It's amazing to think that just one year ago, we were only just breaking ground on Form Factory 1. It was an honor to open our factory doors today and express our gratitude to all the West Virginians who helped bring Form Factory 1 to life. Thank you, thank you, thank you #WestVirginia 🙏 To learn more about the celebration, visit this link: formenergy.com/form-energy-h… #FormFactory1 #WestVirginia #AlmostHeaven #YesWV

For generations, West Virginians have powered America. Today, they're doing it again. Meet the workers at the frontier of the clean energy economy — building batteries to power homes and lower families' energy costs.

Our @MacroEnergySys community has come a long way since our inaugural workshop on Zoom in 2020! Here we are on the gorgeous @Princeton campus for our 2024 MES workshop with ~100 participants from all over the world, many of them students.

Exciting news, our Speaker Series is back! We're kicking it off with "Communicating Uncertainty in Macro-Energy Systems to Decision Makers". Our excellent panelists are Leslie Abrahams from @cleanaircatf, Joseph DeCarolis @EIA_One, and @srujana_goteti, with @JXJohnson moderating

PJM, ISONE, SPP, ERCOT

We're asking elected officials, police & all those responsible for road safety to reimagine their messaging. Focus on the giant elephant in the room (dangerous driving) & less on victimizing vulnerable road users. - special shout out to @RichmondRCMP

Whats driving record-setting global temperatures in 2023? A switch from persistent La Niña conditions to a growing El Niño on top of warming from human emissions, with minor contributions from the solar cycle, the HT volcano, and marine low sulphur fuel standards.

You won’t wanna miss this if you’re at #ESGCSummit! Rachel and Nidhi are rockstars and have some very useful and interesting perspectives

Wow it’s like we could call this happening and like this funny thing called immigration could fix it…meanwhile 10,000 H-1Bs just left to Canada cause it’s so much less crappy to go through the process there. All the major battery factories are about to go through the same

Some solid recs in here!!

When life hands you ... lemonade? Big mood over here

Me: A relative python noob My code: ERROR!! Comment on the end of the offending line: "is this the most horribly pythonic line I have ever written?" 🥲 Apparently it was, at least, horrible! Chained commands list comprehensions = confusion.

Today was an exciting day for @FormEnergyInc. We announced the site of our first large scale manufacturing facility: Weirton, WV. Together with the state of WV, we're helping make an old iron community part of the energy transition. governor.wv.gov/News/press-r… 1/2
