“There's a stick and a carrot … the provinces that are objecting, they don't want the stick, they just want the carrot. But I don't see how Canada will meet its goals only with carrots because we know the provincial government could be authorizing electricity generation that is inconsistent with the goal at the same time as they're making some good investments,” - my UBC colleague Dr. Kathy Harrison is spot on here.

The 2035 Offshore Wind Report shows US has 1 of world’s best offshore wind potentials, enough to power up to 5% in 2035 and 25% of America’s total power needs in 2050 with this abundant clean energy. Progress in the next decade is critical to build out the U.S. offshore wind supply chain. https://2035report.com/offshorewind/ #EndFossilFuels #FossilFuels #RewableEnergy #ClimateCrisis #OffshoreWind #CleanElectricity #energy #cleanenergy #electricity

On a windy day, Ireland’s electrical cleans up quite well. Not below the psychological threshold of 100g carbon per kWh yet, but it’s going there over the years

An #introduction:

I write for The Energy Mix, a small climate news website, where I cover how #agriculture, #cleanelectricity, and #nationalsecurity intersect with #climatechange.

I previously spent many years farming--mostly raising #sheep--before doing ag policy research and outreach. I am particularly interested in addressing the social and financial barriers that hold farmers back from transitioning to more sustainable farming practices.

I look forward to connecting with you here!
