I'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.

@waltbaldwin and i just deactivated my account!
@mliebreich Welcome. We have been waiting for your arrival.
Be 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
@coffeemayonnaise I’m definitely interested in seeing were the technology goes. Would like to see some demonstration projets get off the ground (in the south).
@coffeemayonnaise Interesting. I imagine they are only being used in the event of outages. So hopefully not producing meaningful emissions. In the few remote communities that are able get off diesel (via small hydro) they’ll likely keep the diesels as backups (with the cost of maintaining a redundant system).
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.
