This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

The share of final energy that cannot be electrified is dropping each year.

Its share of the conversation isn’t.

Is it cleaner to power new data centers with the plants we already have than with new ones?

In our model, no. Letting new capacity get built cuts the CO2 intensity of the added power by up to 24% but varies by scenario and region.

Congrats to Elmo on making the TIME100 Climate list. Now the hard questions: Why hasn't Elmo released a public statement on permitting reform?

Found @WorksInProgMag at my local Barnes & Noble. Mosquito eradication, Victorian nightclubs, and weapons of mass decentralization, all in one place. Brick and mortar is still undefeated.
