New paper! We illuminate the challenges that energy forecasters face—and the solutions they employ—in managing and explaining epistemic and stochastic uncertainty. @chrisnelder @NREL

I was very proud to receive the hard copy of the new issue of @nature with our paper referenced on the cover! We explored the geopolitics of the energy transition.

No, that simple scenario study did not find that gas is dirtier than coal, nor was the paper focused on that topic. We did a meta analysis comparing life cycle emissions from the two sources, with a focus on gas, here:

Harmonization of initial estimates of shale gas life cycle greenhouse gas emissions for electric...

Recent technological advances in the recovery of unconventional natural gas, particularly shale gas, have served to dramatically increase domestic ...

Yet another study, this from MIT, finds natural gas dirtier than coal: Methane leakage rates are between 1.5% and 4.9% and “fugitive emissions can be escaping from where natural gas is being extracted and produced, all the way along to the end user”

I have been to about 15 COPs, been a negotiator, and a climate and energy researcher for 25 years. My take in one twete: (and yes, it will be called a success along with the myriad report launches and side events.)
