The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has caused a global energy crisis, but Europe is stuck in reaction mode. Without strategic foresight, the EU will stay dependent on fossil fuels and will never be truly secure, argue @milomcbride.bsky.social & Pauline Gerard. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strat...

How is the clean energy transformation taking shape around the world? A new @economist.com article explains, with the help of @milomcbride.bsky.social and Carnegie’s Clean Energy Tracker. Read here: www.economist.com/science-and-...
@milomcbride.bsky.social, Daniel Helmeci, Debbra Goh, and Daevan Mangalmurti explain in their latest Carnegie paper, produced with data from Project InnerSpace’s GeoMap tool. Read here: carnegieendowment.org/research/202...
Europe should leverage the US climate policy shift. To safeguard its green transition goals, Europe should build cooperation on geothermal energy and focus on technologies that enhance security & decarbonization, argues @milomcbride.bsky.social. His latest 👇 carnegieendowment.org/europe/strat...
🎧 | Trump's cuts to climate funding complicate the clean energy transition. In a new episode of #EuropeInsideOut, @rmomtaz.bsky.social, @olazard.bsky.social, & @milomcbride.bsky.social explore the avenues left for EU-US clean energy cooperation. 👉 europe-inside-out.simplecast.com/episodes/can...
Latest w/ @milomcbride.bsky.social: “The U.S. is at a strategic crossroads on whether it can compete in the global EV market, innovate next-gen batteries, and secure mineral supply chains. The first step is recognizing that all three imperatives are intertwined.” foreignpolicy.com/2025/06/05/e...
As the green hydrogen industry collapses in real time, some incredible developments are underway in geologic hydrogen production. This is still a 2030s moonshot, but recent USGS data, wildcatter results, and the literature on its ultra-low production costs could be a gamechanger. #H2 #EnergySky
Carnegie’s Carbon to Clean Tracker is now live! As legacy fossil-fired plants across the world transition to clean energy hubs, @milomcbride.bsky.social and Daniel Helmeci keep you up to date with their new, interactive tracker. Check it out here: carnegieendowment.org/features/cle...
Rare earths are top of mind with yesterday’s mineral deal in Ukraine. Elsewhere, Pres. Trump’s development cuts hamper opportunities for the U.S. to challenge China’s dominance in critical minerals. @milomcbride.bsky.social explained for @washingtonpost.com 👇 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
CPE also has a proposal for a Mountain West EGS consortium! @publicenterprise.bsky.social is soliciting input on its geothermal deployment research from governments, developers, utilities, and other interested parties. If you're in this space, talk to us! publicenterprise.org/report/enhan...
Everyone says enhanced geothermal is the next fracking. That's only a little "bit" true. The shale fracking boom was a product of its unique market structure. Enhanced geothermal is very different. Latest from me and @buddyyakov.bsky.social at CPE—here's what a geothermal boom *really* requires:
Across the world, legacy fossil fuel plants are being retrofitted as "clean energy hubs"—150+ examples and counting. Here's a database that tracks them.
Exciting developments via Africa's clean energy giant: After installing about 50% of Kenya's power generation from geothermal resources, KenGen has already begun projects Ethiopia, with new exploration now underway in Zambia and Tanzania. #Kenya #EnergySky #Geothermal
The U.S.’s reliance on China for rare earth minerals is nearly total. In a U.S.-China trade war, American manufacturers are under critical threat. But so far, policymakers haven’t taken the threat seriously, says @milomcbride.bsky.social 👇 Full article in @nytimes.com ➡️ buff.ly/EpyJIk9
Great speaking with the @washingtonpost.com about China's role in the current clean energy and industrial landscape: “It is difficult to overstate China’s singular lead across clean energy technologies. The gaps are both enormous and historically unprecedented.” #China #GreenSky
All this talk of mineral security is missing point. In my latest for Cipher News, I argue that developing a domestic mineral supply chain will require long-term demand, an area that clean tech manufacturing is strategically positioned. Big thanks to @amyaharder.bsky.social for this opportunity.
Tokyo (METI) is bullish on a perovskite future and have been pushing for it. But PSCs are unlikely an opportunity for Japanese manufacturers to reclaim the market because 1) for coming decade(+), PSCs will require silicon modules 2) Chinese producers (eg GCL) are moving fast and have the scale...
