Californians for Electric Rail Assemblymember Carlos Villapudua Hey Carlos, you know Stockton/SJ County could always use a fast track on more sidings or even electrification. Get some of these diesel fumes out of the air. Easy win.

Expensive 'mitigations' of visual impact like this are why we need to exempt rail electrification from CEQA 👇

Says a lot about where Cali is that a country whose leadership is consistently castigated for not investing enough in electrification is so far ahead in that department

MMC of Energy and Electricity, fighter Zanele Mali: MMC: Electricity & Energy in NMBM is currently leading the electrification of informal settlements at Plot 3179 in Kariega, ward 48. The EFF is the only party that has what it takes to #EndLoadshedding !

Literally, everything is bullish for Megapack sales:

-RE waiting for a connection to the grid
-AI data centers explosive growth
-Battery cells glut
-Battery cell technological progress
-Electrification of transport
-Globalization or localization
-Government regulations

US has embarked on a mission to industrialize. #electrification is our macro theme of the decade

I’m not against the transition from fossil fuels to electrification. I’m against overconsumption. There is no amount of trees/solar panels/ EVs that can help us in that case. It will be the same.
I’m against #greenwashing that’s infiltrated in the env community
everyone should be

THIS IS WHAT LAGARDE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT:

In today's Odd Lots newsletter, Tracy Alloway and I wrote about our chat with Chris Hatch / NNN Income and the macro spillovers of this huge electrification push, and the challenge it poses to policymakers.

Govt.’ push for ‘electrification of cars’ propaganda which recognises only tailpipe emissions as a concern, is to keep selling unsustainable cars & car infrastructure to us.
If Cars & car infra were a country it’d be top polluter (particles&emissions) even if fully electrified.

One argument I've heard with catenary wires is that they supposedly seem outmoded because of how common they were back then

The benefits of electrification are so significant that it overrides these silly perceptions of the wires. It's really a true example of 'old is gold.'

We are talking a lot about energy efficiency and how it can help to achieve the goal of close to net zero.
Energy efficiency can be achieved in transport via full electrification. The most visible item is the electric vehicle.
In the heating area the dominant instrument is the…
