Dare ObasanjoFound an incredibly useful app for finding people to follow on Mastodon. It crawls your social graph then finds the people who your followers follow the most that you don't follow.

Jacquelyn GillI'm grieving Twitter. I've been there for eleven years, and made so many close connections there. Heck, I just won a major science communication award for my work on Twitter. It took a decade to get to >100k followers. It's weird to be starting over again.
Book deals, etc. are affected by social follower counts, so this sort of thing isn't trivial. My outreach isn't the source of my income (thankfully), but it's deeply important to me. And the work continues, but I'll be in my feels for a bit.
Mike De SouzaBe sure to check out @thenarwhal tomorrow morning after 8 am ET. We’ll be releasing a story about some documents the Alberta government refused to release for nearly 800 days. The documents outline how oil and gas lobbyists were able to influence government policy in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. #cdnfoi #foip #FOIA #atip #JournalismMatters #journalism
SMRs are getting a lot of press lately. But I remain skeptical in their application in remote communities. Cost, community/utility capacity, social acceptance are all major hurdles. Also, a big community in the North would have a peak demand of 12MW.
A good article in CBC that highlights some of the challenges of transitioning off-grid communities in Canada’s North from diesel to clean energy. It’s a thorny problem that will require significant investment, creative solutions, and the will of all levels of government.

Wearing my Teslin biomass shirt today so thought I’d give this cool project a toot…
Teslin Tlingit Council, a #FirstNation in the #Yukon, Canada built a biomass #districtheating system (using Hargassner chip boilers) to reduce reliance on heating oil and create opportunity in the northern community.

Most on mastodon.energy are probably familiar with Michael Liebreich and his podcast “Cleaning Up”, but I thought I’d give it a plug as I really enjoy it and always learn a tonne.
Discussion with energy leaders on technology, policy, finance and geopolitics, etc is always super informative and sometimes spicy - especially when #hydrogen comes up in conversation.
The arctic city of Iqaluit, Canada (pop. 7,700) burns 15 million litres of diesel a year to generate electricity.
Nunavut Nukkiksautiit Corp is looking to develop a hydroelectricity facility that has the potential to take the city off of diesel entriely.
