In hindsight, that 10 pm iced coffee may have been a mistake.

Got the dreaded @SouthwestAir C boarding group. Rather than be grumpy I thought to myself - what would @TedLasso do? So I chatted up a lovely mother and daughter celebrating moms 90th.
I frankly am baffled that making good on our debts is subject to a Congressional vote at all. They approved the spending already. Paying creditors should be unquestionable. Sigh...

@JoelwCharles Well said. Hoping for a happy ending soon!
@nebulousmenace @StanfordEnergy 1) a decline in Li-ion efficiency would mean slightly higher cost of renewables+batteries (ReB) cases but our fixed o&m costs for batteries include periodic cell replacement so that may already account for the effect you are mentioning.
@nebulousmenace @StanfordEnergy 2) we did.
3) if nuclear costs $10/W it is likely uncompetitive vs other firm options. So think of the cases w/o nuclear and with one or two other clean firm options as equivalent to that case.

@JesseJenkins @StanfordEnergy Finally got to this. Good interesting stuff, although it's going to sound bad that I have nothing but mean comments hereafter.
1) Li-Ion at 92% efficiency; probably wouldn't change anything, but I've heard 80% is standard because it goes down over the system lifetime. [1/3ish]
@JesseJenkins I don’t think I’ve ever had to remind myself so often of the difference between my circle of influence and circle of concern, while simultaneously fighting like heck to maximize my circle of influence to get this bill across the finish line. It challenges one’s mental health.

@kelleher_ To people who don't see the inter-get transfers, or don't believe it's a problem at all, climate policy is all a cost (under the assumptions of a first-best world). That's the problem I was trying to get at.
@kelleher_ I think you are spot on. I was focusing on the second question (where first-best economic modeling completely ignores non-climate benefits). I was focusing on that question b/c we haven't been able to engineer inter-gen transfers, which are mired in discount rate assumptions, etc

This is horrible & completely unsurprising.

RT @TimMLatimer: The EVs are coming y’all. A lot of them, and fast.
3/ But the details outlined in the report — written by @TxPublicJustice and @CommissionShift — suggest commissioners may have financial as well as political motivations for taking the actions they take while in office.
2/ The notion that @txrrc commissioners are cozy with oil, gas and pipeline companies will not surprise many who closely follow the commission.
Commissioners themselves speak openly and proudly about their close ties to industry and their desire to promote and protect it.
Energy research and innovation: 'Het moet een beetje schuren' says @TinneVdS https://t.co/lNmdswZgJm
6/ The report looks specifically at the record of Commission Chair @ChristiCraddick.
It found that Craddick "cast a deciding vote" in favor of a pipeline company that she owned thousands of dollars of stock in and received $22,500 in campaign contributions from the company.
5/ “Oklahoma has a pretty simple, clear-cut rule that their oil and gas commissioners can't have any interest in the businesses that they're making decisions about," Palacios continued.
7/ The report also says Craddick failed to recuse herself from ruling in a dispute between two companies despite owning shares in both.
Palacios said she thinks Craddick’s failure to recuse in these instances may have broken the agency’s own rules.
Texas oil and gas regulators make big bucks from the industries they oversee and fail to recuse themselves when arbitrating conflicts or determining penalties for companies they’ve invested in, according to a new report.
And it all may be perfectly legal. https://t.co/cqCORluXWj
4/ “We think it's time to get money out of decisions that are made at the state agency,” Virginia Palacios, executive director of Commission Shift, said.

Metal-grade silicon price up from $4 to $10 per kg this month on power, coal crunches in China. About 1.1kg of metal Si is needed per kg of polysilicon, so that's going to hurt even at current polysilicon prices of nearly $29/kg.

@EmilDimanchev This came out in the last few weeks: https://t.co/qrxqGKxMon
There's also this: https://t.co/aNzGPajQEf
@blurbette I've said since moving here that I've seen very little Wisconsin nice and a lot of Wisconsin judgment and passive aggressiveness.
@EmilDimanchev That said, we may be past the point where it is possible to fully compensate the abatement costs required to get to a desirable target, like 1.5deg. In that case, the potential co-benefits of GHG abatement become all the more important. I am 100% with you on this.
@EmilDimanchev But even if the answer to (2) were No, climate policy can be Pareto-improving, which means it can be undertaken without sacrifice on anyone's part. But we'd need to engineer the intergenerational transfers.
@EmilDimanchev I see it as two questions. (1) Are the *climate* benefits of GHG reduction enough to fully offset/compensate for the upfront costs? (2) Are the *non-climate* benefits enough on their own to justify and/or offset the upfront costs?
I think the answer to each is Yes.
@EmilDimanchev By "outweighed" do you mean that the very same people who bear the cost can be compensated for that cost by being provided co-benefits?
If so, then that's true in the 1st-best world too. It just requires that we redistribute climate benefits across time (from the future to now).
@EmilDimanchev Of course I completely with agree with you that climate isn't the only market failure, and that climate policy's impact on ambient air quality is of the utmost importance!
@EmilDimanchev But even if climate is the only externality, it still follows that climate policy can be Pareto-improving (i.e. does not involve costs "by definition"). Lately I've come to believe that the main problem is that climate econ is conducted with non-OLG models, which masks this fact.

@harmsy @JeffGazzard @bcmerchant I've corrected it to say "tailpipe pollution," which is what I meant/should have said in the first place.
If the House votes through the BIF and it's signed into law, progressive leverage declines to zero. The reconciliation bill, if there is one at all, will be pegged to the level acceptable to the most cowardly, corporate-friendly Democrat.
This makes no sense at all. "We had a plan until conservative Ds told us to go fuck ourselves, so now we have no choice but to go fuck ourselves." https://t.co/SCGYOCjT4I
This produces warming estimates that are noticeably below those of the CMIP6 multimodel mean – given that very high sensitivity models are given less weight (and are inconsistent with the sensitivity ranges used by the emulator).
This means that models with too much or too little historical warming were given less weight in the resulting analysis. These three weighted estimates were averaged, and further combined with a simple emulator tuned to the latest climate sensitivity estimates. https://t.co/5X0VakFxLn
The AR6 took a novel (and I think improved) approach to future warming projections. Rather than simply using the CMIP6 mean, they used three different weighted CMIP6 estimates – with weights based model agreement with observed temperatures over the past few decades. https://t.co/3IS81yTInJ
Right now most folks doing assessments would use the dashed lines, even though they are inconsistent with the best estimate of warming in the AR6. This is because there is currently not any gridded future warming projections available that are consistent with AR6 assessed warming
We are setting the stage for a lot of confusion given differences in the future warming projections in the IPCC AR6 and the latest generation of models (CMIP6). For example, here are future projections for Norway from CMIP6 (dashed) and scaled to AR6 assessed warming (solid): https://t.co/YlVoKXxbn3

@jtemple The problem here is that people define 'bet' and 'focus' in different ways.

@bataille_chris @S_HastingsSimon You may be right. I avoid the Tesla debate as a rule. Too many fan bois caught up in the minutiae of the tech and the company for my taste.
@FidelisLobo @politicalham @S_HastingsSimon This is so perfectly Canadian: "Tesla does not have to place their feet on two canoes drifting in opposite directions." So perfectly understandable and visualizable, and most have lived it between a dock and a canoe.🤣🤣
@politicalham @S_HastingsSimon I agree, but it could have material impact if the magic bubble bursts. If Tesla crashes to $100 billion or $50, that would wipe out the equivalent capital of about half Canada’s GDP, just for size comparison. That could trigger a financial shock all on its own.
@politicalham @S_HastingsSimon My suspicion is that the Tesla secret sauce is their wholesale commitment to optimizing design a pure EV vehicles. They aren’t hampered by an internal combustion engine mindset.
@S_HastingsSimon Musk may not care (actually, he's demonstrated a few times he really doesn't, he's mostly accomplished his goal), but I'm sure those holding Tesla shares at those relative valuations do. Is Tesla so integral and transformative that it merits the valuation? I simply don't know😉
@bataille_chris @politicalham @S_HastingsSimon Exactly this. Tesla does not have to place their feet on two canoes drifting in opposite directions. And their electronic/software superiority keeps increasing. Question is can Tesla keep the insane margins they currently enjoy.
@bataille_chris @S_HastingsSimon I can see how this would be a win for Tesla. One of their persistent problems is being unable to lock in a secure supply chain, and more players in the EV market ordering at scale would presumably change that.
To be fair, electricity markets are just administrative constructs already...

What would be useful is if the community could create a set of weights (and pre-calculated weighted fields) in-line with AR6 assessed warming ranges for researchers to use for their own analyses. Otherwise we will see a lot of too-warm unweighted CMIP6 results in future papers.
@herrfischer @ScienceMagazine Corrected, not retracted (Science also published four critical technical comments on the study): https://t.co/SeoyvZRlqd
@HyperHydr0 Agreed, weights are problematic for precipitation (though multimodel means are not great there either, weighted or unweighted).

Would someone please ask about the government planning steps for the vaccination of 5-12-year-olds that we expect to be approved in a matter of weeks!
@traceydurning @S_HastingsSimon Yup, it's largely why I never "debate" on Twitter. If someone is actually interested in exchanging ideas, it's better done in direct message or offline.
On here, the incentives are too strong to turn it into a self-righteousness contest.
@S_HastingsSimon I've learned that much of Twitter isn't conducive or friendly to "yes AND..." nuances.
@S_HastingsSimon We call it Gallows Humour Hour in my household
After one year of parenting my advice to new parents is to ignore all advice from people like me. You do it the way you want or need to do it. That’s the right way.
@S_HastingsSimon I know it’s meant as a gentle put down but being a part of “the nuclear bros” will sound pretty awesome to many. It’s almost a band name! :)
@StephanieLluis @franceswoolley Yeah, I'm just made because I thought they coulda wait ten minutes, because I was kind of enjoying being 50.
@S_HastingsSimon @bcshaffer The doubling time for BEVs and FCEVs is about 1-1.5 years... its exponential...and it will take a big bite out of the 70% of the oil barrel used for transport fuel... eventually. Right now O&G is having the equivalent of "Best Summer Ever"... but just wait... its exponential.
It's pretty jarring to be just jogging down the sidewalk, half paying attention to a podcast, when all of a sudden one of the hosts says your name.

@bataille_chris @S_HastingsSimon EV and battery experts I interview occasionally address that (I've never asked it directly) and their view is that Tesla has a tech lead in key areas (eg batter management systems) but they can be caught by the Fords et al.

Energy security means on-shoring battery production (the renewable electricity is a local product).

A great thread and article about the socio-technical lock-in of ever-expanding car infrastructure. One vicious cycle: in many states, road budgets are bound to gas tax revenues.

@S_HastingsSimon The only difference is that in AB Press Conference you need 4 different people to tell you "This is really bad" and self congratulate themselves for doing nothing.
Copping has 3 priorities: permanently increasing baseline ICU capacity, increase vaccines, prepare for future waves of covid.
Instead of permanently increasing ICU capacity perhaps we should shop people from winding up there in the first place?

@EamonOFlynn @russilwvong @MikePMoffatt There is a big difference between agricultural rural and resource extraction rural. Agricultural is strongly CPC in British Columbia, while resource extraction is strongly NDP. Provinces differ in this.
@bcshaffer Maybe you need to petition @jenwinter_YYC to set up a sub-branch of your policy school in BC 😁
@MikePMoffatt @russilwvong Nope, no rural urban split here, nothing to see. Less facetiously, has anyone really dug into why this occurs? Obviously it becomes self reinforcing (we think like our community because that's who we talk to, choose similar neighbours), but what are the core primary drivers?
There will be no avoiding BCAs. And there is already signs they work in influencing trading partners (Russia & Turkey's moves to carbon pricing). But they won't be easy, and there will be partial failures to learn and correct from as real world examples work their way through.
3) primacy of effectiveness and impact, & 4) the need for "policy practise". Stick to aluminum, steel, & cement (clinker) first, and then a few chemical feedstocks. Plan for partial policy failure (circumvention) & revision. Use that learning to do BCAs for more complex products.
Nice article by @AaronCosbey here on the need for a BCA agreement. I'd emphasize 4 things: 1) a transparent & robust GHG intensity measurement system for a few GHG intense products that pass through several stages, 2) equivalent domestic/foreign treatment to meet WTO rules, .. https://t.co/jHcmg7O2OJ
@bcshaffer Maybe we can put the anti-vaxxers on the same barge
@bcshaffer Whatever it takes to get them on the barge. Maybe we can swap it for olive oil so they don’t make a mess of wherever they are going.
@bcshaffer Maybe we could give them a big barge, call it “Western Canada”, and push it into the Pacific.
The authors’ results map nicely on to WECC. https://t.co/S1s3RNG2rk
Yet more evidence for North American scale electricity grid planning. https://t.co/1eQLsNjHjT
@bataille_chris The first thing that came to my mind when I heard the Ford announcement was that they had some solid assurances from the Biden administration that the huge rebate per vehicle scheme will pass. That rebate equals the playing field between ICE/EV price to a great extent.
@bcshaffer @bataille_chris We need a pipeline to tidewater! It’s the safest way to move toxic products like deranged politicians.
@bataille_chris "Planning for policy failure and revision"
Yes. Look how long it took to get the EU ETS right. Now into 4th phase, and looks like most of the bugs are out. Slow pace important both for policy learning, and for political acceptance.
Unfortunately, we can't affect global FF productn because earth's crust is chock-a-block full of FFs & many countries will happily replace our productn. What is criminal is allowing today sales of luxury gas guzzling cars & trucks. Please push hard for rapidly rising ZEV mandate! https://t.co/QobWGubg6d
@bataille_chris Unlikely, I think, even excluding all of the regulatory challenges $TSLA faces. Not investment advice. Shorting on the basis of valuation is a road straight to the poorhouse.
Midstage investors into a technological trend get wiped out-> railroads to steel to dotcom to shale gas.
two questions: 1. what is the overlap between climate twitter and triathlon twitter? and 2. who will talk with me about carbon v aluminum bike component life cycle analyses?
Adults write studies about youth being anxious about the economy, and how youth will experience 3X more climate disasters in their lives.
Then, these same adults tell us if we work hard we'll "make it" and experience the same financial and material resources they enjoy 🤔
You can't have it both ways. You can't acknowledge our dire future and then impose the same economic system on us that your generation had.
We need something different. We need something new.
Is there room for conservatives in the climate debate?

When this was published I was 21, completely broke, 2 months into moving to nyc, working 20 hrs/week as an unpaid journalism intern and 40 hrs/week waitressing for rent. At the intern office I stole snacks for food and often napped in the bathroom. So this byline felt.. very good https://t.co/yE0NEEhFNT
Celebrating two 10 year anniversaries today: my first big byline, and the first time a publication misspelled my name. Good times @observer https://t.co/Jj6qHrEtP4
