🔌💡 Wind and solar are affordable, but their weather-variability means the grid still relies on fossil fuels during peak demand.
@oboylemm.bsky.social shares the need for clean “peaker” plants to maintain reliability with fewer emissions.

In direct air capture, one form of engineered carbon removal, air is pulled through modular fans and sorbents that concentrate CO₂. Oxygen is vented while the captured CO₂ is compressed, piped and injected into underground formations where it mineralizes into solid carbonate minerals (CO₃²⁻), such as calcite or magnesite. Direct air capture can turn dilute atmospheric CO₂ into durable, climate-safe mineral storage.
🔌💡 Engineered carbon removal can store CO₂ for centuries, but cost remains a major barrier.
One option is to use CO₂ in materials like concrete to create value, helping offset costs while storing carbon long term.

🔌💡 About 80% of all global #energy is supplied by fossil fuels, so when oil and natural gas get more expensive, the price of nearly everything goes up.

Reliance on fossil fuels is economically risky. “You’d be hard pressed to find 20 consecutive years without some type of energy crisis with ballooning fuel costs,” as @robbieorvis.bsky.social of @energyinnovation.org told me. Transitioning to clean domestic energy can buttress against that [5/8]
🔌💡 Our @michelle-solomon.bsky.social & @silviomarcacci.bsky.social join host Kinsey Grant on the latest episode of Energy Central's Power Perspectives #podcast to discuss #coal - its future in the U.S., policies, & headlines.

Enhanced rock weathering is one approach to mineral carbon removal, accelerating a natural process in which CO₂ reacts with alkaline minerals to form stable carbonates. By grinding silicate rocks and spreading them across agricultural land, rainfall helps dissolve the material and drive reactions that capture atmospheric CO₂. The carbon is ultimately stored as dissolved bicarbonate or solid carbonates — ideally transported to the oceans, where vast volume and stable chemistry enable long-term, durable storage.
🔌💡 Atmospheric CO₂ has risen 50% over the past 150 years, and natural carbon sinks can't keep up.
Speeding up the natural process of mineralization, in which CO₂ is captured and turned into rock, could unlock scalable carbon removal.

🔌💡 Why are #natualgas prices so high?
Our @shannonstirone.bsky.social spoke with @brendan.bsky.social to bring some context and clarity to the topic.

"Natural gas is widely perceived as a cheap fuel and source of energy. Sometimes that’s true, but gas markets are fickle and can change on a dime," @brendan.bsky.social told @shannonstirone.bsky.social: thepowerline.substack.com/p/why-are-na... via @energyinnovation.org 🔌💡
A graphic of industrial heat demand by temperature across industries
🔌💡 Roughly two-thirds of all industrial #energy is used to generate heat, and nearly a quarter of the world’s fossil fuels are burned for industrial purposes alone.

🔌💡 Production of steel, cement, chemicals & textiles is responsible for over 20% of global #energy use because of its reliance on industrial heat.
Technological solutions, like thermal batteries, can transform the industrial sector.

🔌💡 A new analysis reveals a hidden reason America’s electricity bills are skyrocketing: utilities raking in massive profits from consumer bills.
Our @silviomarcacci.bsky.social spoke with Energy Policy Institute's David Pomerantz about the new research 👇

"Wealth extraction is not necessary for utilities to provide safe and reliable service. For all the talk from policymakers about how to lower customers’ bills, these inflated profits seem like a great place to start." - @davidpomerantz.bsky.social

🔌💡 Electricity bills rose 13% last year, forcing families to pay $110 more in 2025 compared to 2024.

The Iran war has sent oil and gas prices soaring and will ripple across our economy.
America’s industrial sector burns 28% of our oil and 32% of our gas.
We’re uniquely vulnerable to global fossil fuel price and this risk will ripple across our economy.

🔌💡 Global #energy prices have surged since the war in Iran began, but the threat of higher costs caused by this military action will hit more than just our families – American industry is also at risk and bracing for impact.
