Studying the utility industry and regulation in the US is like doing an autopsy on a zombie. It's dead, but somehow it just keeps moving. 00:28:14, 2014-05-03
It feels like maybe I ate some unripe or slightly poisonous fruit from the tree of knowledge. 00:26:52, 2014-05-03
Why did I choose to understand such a complicated and frustrating system? 00:17:41, 2014-05-03
A senate bill forcing #KXL through has 54 votes… @SenBennetCO & @MarkUdall have no position. Tell them to oppose it! (& reform filibuster). 17:52:20, 2014-05-02
@laplacanancy In that case you probably want to start all but the 1st tweet w/ one of the twitter handles… then everyone else doesn't see it in reply to ZaneSelvans 14:02:10, 2014-05-02

Here is a blog post by someone who cannot do an order of magnitude calculation. Don't be that guy: http://t.co/nclZiN4wcG 11:24:40, 2014-05-02
@neil21 Ha! It turns out that that indecisive cyclist w/ the self-driving Google car was staged on purpose! http://t.co/GlbPzdohKS 11:10:57, 2014-05-02
@brenttoderian It might be worth tamping down enthusiasm for self driving cars too see e.g. @RockefellerFdn here: http://t.co/GlbPzdohKS in reply to BrentToderian 11:09:47, 2014-05-02

And so it is on days like this that I want to say "F*ck it, I'm riding my bike to Chile" 18:13:15, 2014-05-01
yo @bouldercolorado this => @AlexSteffen: All emissions targets should be a total budget: e.g. "We will emit < 93 MT CO2 over next 50 yrs." in reply to AlexSteffen 17:37:19, 2014-05-01
My passion for the policy work is indirect. It's a meta-task that enables the prioritization of the real task: re-building civilization. 17:20:32, 2014-05-01
My job is to re-write the rules so sustainable energy systems are profitable, but I'd kinda rather just profit from building those systems. 17:16:20, 2014-05-01
@srbraker @surlybikes Sweeet bike 🙂 The co-ops are doing a tour from Boulder to Steamboat and back Aug 16-24 if you're interested! in reply to srbraker 11:56:28, 2014-05-01

Man, Rob Ford really knows how to throw a party in my feed. And I'm only following like three Canadians! What a glorious train wreck. 22:21:53, 2014-04-30
RT @AlexSteffen: "If it's not a carbon budget, it's not a real climate target." That should be a thing. 15:57:26, 2014-04-30

@ericmbudd I mean, anything is "doable" 🙂 Definitely some hike-a-bike. in reply to ericmbudd 14:07:12, 2014-04-29
Anyone else from Boulder need to do a @NOLSedu WFR re-cert this year? https://t.co/yGm6LrsQqn 14:06:24, 2014-04-29
@ericmbudd Do you have a mountain bike too? Chapman is totally thrashed from the floods. 4' deep gullies for part of it. Fun adventure. in reply to ericmbudd 14:02:28, 2014-04-29
Where do people ride bikes in Boulder? Now if only we had this dataset for all kinds of riders! http://t.co/w0AnZN6k87 data from @strava 13:49:28, 2014-04-29
@ericmbudd 68J/Two Sisters connects Flagstaff to Magnolia. I guess I'll ride down the canyon if I'm too tired for Sugarloaf. in reply to ericmbudd 13:42:50, 2014-04-29
@ericmbudd Oooh, that's cool. I am definitely taking some paths less traveled. Nobody on 68J/Two Sisters. So many people in Boulder Canyon? in reply to ericmbudd 13:39:38, 2014-04-29
@ericmbudd do you ever go back and look at your favorited tweets? 23:20:34, 2014-04-28

@ericmbudd Neither hard, nor particularly high impact, given TABOR restrictions on what revenues can go to. in reply to ericmbudd 22:33:39, 2014-04-28

Thankfully there's no milk in the fridge, or I would be slathering chocolate buttercream frosting on something and eating it. 22:21:33, 2014-04-28
@neil21 But it's important for the system to be robust against indecisive douches. in reply to neil21 22:20:17, 2014-04-28

@ericmbudd Sorry, 45 new occupancy cases, 31 closed w/o violation, 2 still open, 12 violations: https://t.co/5uCh3yasUz in reply to ericmbudd 20:29:51, 2014-04-28
@ericmbudd If I recall correctly from the council packet, the occupancy limits have been enforced 30 times in the last year in Boulder. in reply to ericmbudd 20:17:07, 2014-04-28
@ericmbudd You obviously need to spend more time at the co-op 😉 in reply to ericmbudd 20:15:05, 2014-04-28
Lots of tacit suggestions that we should require or encourage many more city employees to live in the city itself, for all kinds of reasons. 16:29:44, 2014-04-28
Surprising amount of awareness that our community engagement is strong, but very narrow. The same voices are loud in all of our discussions. 14:31:55, 2014-04-28
Denver metro has a higher proportion of its economy exposed to river flooding than any other city in the US according to SwissRe. 13:36:59, 2014-04-28
Proportion of disaster losses absorbed by federal govt increased from 33% to 77% between 1992 and 2008. 13:29:48, 2014-04-28
Too many facilitator jokes about how we're going to find a new planet and move there. Especially funny amongst the gated community set. 13:27:15, 2014-04-28
Dude from Palantir highlighting a bunch of the actually awesome things that Big Brother can do. 13:23:18, 2014-04-28
Wow. Carl Castillo's table thinks aging population is a strength. Since rich old white people are so good at adaptation & political change. 12:28:44, 2014-04-28
Not sure folks apreciate the spectrum of possible environmental degradation, poverty… Especially given the other cities in this pool. 12:25:45, 2014-04-28
Hopefully all these perceptions will actually be contrasted with some meaningful quantitative observations. 12:18:24, 2014-04-28
Lots of discussion about the interconnection between these risk factors. And also, everyone is hypersensitive to the "transient" population. 12:16:21, 2014-04-28
And chronic stresses. Housing, diversity, land use, income inequality. I have a social services table… http://t.co/HHnJp03I0r 12:10:48, 2014-04-28
Our table's take on acute stresses http://t.co/dLHcAqLr8G 11:59:04, 2014-04-28
Unscientific poll of participants, ranking Boulder's chronic stresses. Affordable Housing is #1 short term: http://t.co/bz0bQl7wf1 11:39:02, 2014-04-28
The first third of these things always send to be for folks who didn't take the time to read the packet… 11:33:01, 2014-04-28
Boulder definitely an outlier among the cities chosen, very small and very wealthy. 10:17:12, 2014-04-28
Focus so far from the city is almost entirely on climate, natural disasters, infrastructure. Very little on social/economic resilience. 10:14:25, 2014-04-28
Also kind of awesome that we are perched five stories above the city's gladiatorial arena. 10:06:38, 2014-04-28
At the 100 Resilient Cities. Slightly creepy that it's sponsored by a surveillance company, a weapons lab, old carbon money & reinsurance. 09:45:07, 2014-04-28
@trueanomalies Ugh. Extraterrestrial GIS coordinate systems gives me flashbacks. And not the good kind. in reply to trueanomalies 20:04:00, 2014-04-27
@ericmbudd Human powered transportation positively correlated w/ transit, negatively correlated w/ driving? in reply to ericmbudd 19:33:07, 2014-04-27
And if you need a specific list of inefficiencies to be convinced, @ACEEEdc has that covered too: http://t.co/unjSDp21ql 11:35:41, 2014-04-27
@ericmbudd Yay! Lots of good stuff going on downtown. Now if only we had a few more downtowns. in reply to ericmbudd 11:33:21, 2014-04-27
High energy efficiency standards can lower required carbon prices by ~75% at negative cost, says Laitner of @ACEEEdc http://t.co/TPHYtazqSp 11:14:38, 2014-04-27
Pure pricing mechanisms make mitigation expensive, because they do not address underlying market inefficiencies. 11:08:42, 2014-04-27
2.) Mitigation is only expensive relative to a fantasy world w/o climate change. In the real world not mitigating is fabulously expensive! 10:15:35, 2014-04-27
1.) A tired framing: "Greenhouse gases are ubiquitous in our economy, and their mitigation will be expensive." from http://t.co/t5MMrUR8ff 10:12:43, 2014-04-27
Almost complies w/ Boulder's height limit… MT @VictorDover: What cycling can be like: Haarlemmerstraat, Amsterdam http://t.co/EZZu0iSuFE in reply to VictorDover 09:41:19, 2014-04-27
