'How do I transition into climate tech'? For newcomers from traditional tech, finding your corner of the climate universe can feel overwhelming. If you’re beginning your journey, a few of us made a "climate tech talent+capital mind map" to help — 🧵 1/10

In Montana atm, seeing lots of geothermal energy potential (eg all the geysers at Yellowstone) but how to harness it for electricity production? So thrilled to read about @fervoenergy and their new breakthrough and the future for commercial geothermal!!

11/This is mostly because of a self-fulfilling prophecy that enhanced geothermal can’t work. Well, that changes today. @FervoEnergy is pleased to announce the production test results of our commercial pilot. fervoenergy.com/fervo-energy…

1/ I left OpenAI 3 years ago to pursue a challenge equally as important as AGI: climate change. While we’re still short of ChatGPTree, @living_carbon has developed climate-smart trees, planted 200K+ trees & is creating a playbook for frontier tech in new markets:🧵👇

Become a private bank (not at whims of public shareholders) that offers low interest loans for home purchases that will energy retrofit (solar, hest pump, insulation) as part of the loan terms. It also ensures longer term value on the asset, in case the homeowners default.

Interesting visual to put into perspective .com bubble burst, 08 financial crisis to what we've been seeing in 2023. Would love your reactions for those who remember/lived through each downturn -- where does history rhyme? where are things just fundamentally different?

It felt inauthentic to learn publicly in all aspects of MCJ journey except our own fundraise so we had to fix that! Introducing new @mcjpod capital series - learning from best GPs & LPs, educating us & broader ecosystem, & developing robust relationships along the way. LFG!

Spent the whole weekend going down a rabbit hole on food processing systems via @mcjcollective learning sprint. HUGE topic. Lots to absorb & think about. I went from 😳 to 😯 to 🤔 real quick. Favorite resource so far (I'm a sucker for good visuals): ourworldindata.org/food-ghg-…
Food production is responsible for one-quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions

One-quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions result from food and agriculture. What are the main contributors to food's emissions?

Are there any ChatGPT models being used to create climate-tech specific knowledge bases?

My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user" Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby

Wildland fire suppression and mitigation is a tough line of work that, IMO, we take for granted. What is it like on the job? Give this episode a listen. Much much respect for @jimboslicesays and so many other hotshots out there. mcjcollective.com/my-climate…

I asked for fire folks to interview, y'all delivered. Get ready for some interesting interviews ahead. Does anyone know front line workers at any EV manufacturers that I can talk to? Much gratitude!

Jason Huff hiking at Alaska's Exit Glacier and Harding Icefield. A local paper called the melting glacier "an icon of climate change" and the visit helped
