.⁦@elonmusk⁩ to make homes more efficient, start w/ technology we already have—air-sealing, high insulation, and well-tuned windows. We need well-built (and well-retrofitted) dumb houses more than new tech that ignores physics. See #PassiveHouse. electrek.co/2018/09/07/tesla…

Verifying @healthyheating comfort theories. Bumped t-stat up 2°F, radiant similar to last year, added a layer of clothing , and I’m still cold. Hypothesis: decreased metabolic rate (cancer, weight loss, maybe drugs)! Feel I missed a research opportunity. – at Burlington, VT

What leadership looks like. – at Burlington, VT
Curing the world of this terrible parasite has been one of former president Jimmy Carter's life goals. When you look at the numbers, he's right within reach: 3.5 million reported cases down to 9 last year.

Today, I'm #thankful for trailblazers like Shirley Chisholm who paved the way for generations of women to be leaders in our democracy. Thanks to all the women who've stood up to discrimination and harassment and who've demanded their seat at the table. Your voice matters.

It is my obligatory duty as a climate scientist to retweet this map of current global temperature anomalies today. Can we all agree there is more a lot more red here than blue? – at Tucson Estates, AZ

That! And remember, there are some very durable R40 construction details controlling air and moisture. It’s not all on Energy’s back! – at South Burlington, VT
Passive House PRINCIPLES for sure. The objective should be to neither compromise nor maximize, but to optimize at a place where we can assure it's for everyone: not an indicator of wealth, but of sustainable fiscal & ecological common sense.

I’m sure the hospital food is not as good as the food @healthyheating was eating in Italy, but at least they’re letting me eat! – at Burlington, VT

Think it can’t get worse than Scott Pruitt? Andrew Wheeler will do anything to help the polluters he used to lobby for – including allow more toxic pollutants into the air our kids breathe. Now @realDonaldTrump wants him to run the EPA. It’s revolting. washingtonpost.com/energy-en…

I’m the token man at the #WomenInEnergy breakfast at #CREFenergy - did you know that less than 1 in 10 applicants to speak at the conference this year were women?! Glad to support more gender equality in the energy sector💡 #CaribbeanWomen #SDG5 – at Miami, FL

I wonder if the paintings make the IV flow faster? In any event I’m a sucker for Paintings of poppies.

We installed a record amount of #solarenergy and home batteries this quarter and delivered more than 50% yoy growth in our business. Americans are united on the value of rooftop #solar and #batteries. It’s the future: clean, affordable and reliable energy. bit.ly/2AVOkYT
