Congrats to HEET for a segment on national news about the Framingham geothermal project. If you haven't heard of this trial of decarbonized district heat, have a look. We should be adopting this where ever it's feasible. @zeynebmagavi.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAxe...

Back on the 'ditching gas' beat with a deeper dive on geothermal networks for @nature.com Article #4 from 1 @sejorg.bsky.social Fund for Env. Journalism grant, incl. works for @thetyee.ca & @sierramagazine.bsky.social HTs @buildingdecarb.org @zeynebmagavi.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Geothermal networks let cities warm and cool as one
An upgrade to district heating systems brings greater flexibility and efficiency, and is giving gas companies a renewable future.

The HEET team won ‘Nonprofit of the Year’ at the NREC Gala last Friday! So grateful to celebrate together with such a wonderful community and work every day with such a wonderful team.
Gotta flatten that falcon. @zeynebmagavi.bsky.social @andrewiliff.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Jesse D. Jenkins@jessedjenkins.com · last yr.The winter peak is coming. There are numerous potential solutions out there, from right-sized heat pumps to geo-exchange (ground source heat pumps) and thermal storage to thermostatic control. Time to work on the right mix to meet the moment.
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Last year’s increase was due to an unusual amount of ocean warming, combined with meltwater from land-based ice such as glaciers.

The FAWGs have been great at level-setting the obstacles impeding the energy transformation. They include regulators, policy-makers, unions, advocates, etc. in addition to the utilities. E.g. @zeynebmagavi.bsky.social from this pod 👇🏻 is on OET’s Advisory Board. www.volts.wtf/p/thermal-en...
Thermal energy networks are the next big thing
Could gas utilities transform into "thermal utilities"? Here's how networked heat pumps could give them a whole new business model instead of going extinct.

Thrilled to announce @zeynebmagavi.bsky.social from HEET as the moderator for From Silos to Synergy: Public-private Pathways to a Decarbonized Built Environment! Zeyneb will lead an important discussion on unlocking collaboration between the public and private sectors #Energysky #Greensky
Everything you ever wanted to know about Massachusetts utility regulation!
David Roberts@volts.wtf · last yr.Today on Volts: I talk with the lead utility regulator in Massachusetts about the state's "Future of Gas" proceeding, which lays out a process for phasing methane out of the energy mix over the next 25 years. We discuss the political challenges, utility dynamics, thermal energy networks, and more.
On a cold, dark, snowy February week the orchids next to my desk burst into bloom.
Really happy to be at @mitofficial.bsky.social ‘s open courseware on Geothermal Energy Networks with @zeynebmagavi.bsky.social. Exactly the jolt of inspiration I needed after the last couple weeks
It’s a white first day of winter. My cheeks are frozen BUT I’m smiling. Winter is winter for a little longer.
There is always a way forward. Everywhere. Together. If you need a bit of climate hope, watch this video that just went live at COP29. youtu.be/qjDLp8raebk
