I love it when passions combine... two is nice, but THREE!?!
Researchers have found a way to grow #CHICKPEAS in #LUNAR soil - and it works best when treated with #FUNGI: nautil.us/scientists-grow-ch…
For those who want the nitty gritty: there is no soil on the moon, just regolith. Gritty indeed. No organic material. They created a 75% regolith mix with 25% compost (specifically vermicompost)-- and even better when they protected the plants with a special fungi solution.
Also for the detail oriented, you'll know that I've used the common name #chickpea here, but generally I prefer ... not their scientific name (Cicer arietinum), but their nombre fabuloso: Garrrrbonzo!

Some people say #energy #affordability isn't possible. They're wrong. I lay out the case: rmi.org/affordability-101-ca…
Hey #Michigan and #Illinois - here are state-specific insights for leading the nation in clean manufacturing.
This is the single most exciting scientific concept I've heard in a while - and that's amidst a lot of other amazing scienc going on these days: youtube.com/watch?v=WqYRMmlZ…

Love this new article on plug-in solar. I've been digging into this and am excited to see it moving in the U.S. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

This is the greatest argument I’ve heard for why electric vehicles are better than gasoline-powered cars.
Here's my latest on how #States can move a #cleanenergy economy forward. Congress clarified what's next with tax credits. Certainty enables action.

Republicans in #Utah led a new solar law, which could unlock distributed energy in a way never seen in the US before. Allows anyone to plug in a solar panel WITHOUT INSTALLER OR UTILITY FEES.

It makes small solar installations just another appliance that anyone can buy and install. This has big implications for #affordability, #loadgrowth, and greater control for homeowners AND RENTERS over their energy. Big #resilience impacts too, tho that's more complicated.

☀️ Procuring clean electricity for a brownfield – otherwise known as a “brightfield” – can have unique challenges. That’s why we compiled FAQs, tips, + other lessons from energy developers to help site owners & project developers overcome them: rmi.org/wp-content/uploads/d…

This chart was eye opening! We need PUCs to address this so heatpump users aren't being over-charged.
