China and Russia are racing to dominate the global nuclear supply chain — the US and its allies can't afford to fall behind. A stronger US-UK civil nuclear partnership is key to staying ahead & beating back Russian & Chinese influence. Read our latest👇 www.thirdway.org/report/atomb...

The administration's irresponsible funding freeze is putting North Carolinian families in limbo. Critical IRA programs designed to cut energy costs are now paused, delaying savings and stalling progress. www.wsoctv.com/news/local/m...

Trump's tariffs on Canada and Mexico are officially taking effect. Confused? Let SHIFT KEY break it down. @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social and @jessejenkins.bsky.social explain how these tariffs impact the U.S. auto industry, with help from @thirdwayenergy.bsky.social's Ellen Hughes-Cromwick.

AI is booming, and energy demand is skyrocketing along with it. States are responding with smart policies to power AI’s growth with clean, reliable energy. In our latest, we break down how VA & TX are leading the way — and what other states can learn. www.thirdway.org/memo/from-te...

Our own @jsfreed.bsky.social nails it here: the Green New Deal never matched the values of everyday people, so Republicans used it as a prop to scare voters. Protecting climate progress means meeting voters where they're at, not clinging to out-of-touch slogans. grist.org/protest/the-...

Nuclear generates clean, reliable power. Restarting plants like Duane Arnold in Iowa will boost US energy production, create jobs, and jumpstart innovation. More from Third Way's Alan Ahn in the Des Moines Register👇 www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinio...

Trump's latest tariffs are clumsy and expensive –American consumers will get stuck with the bill. Healthy competition helps keep prices low and pushes industry to modernize and clean up production. Trump’s plan stifles progress and jacks up costs. 1/2 abcnews.go.com/US/trump-tar...

Reason for optimism from @canarymedia.com's Dan McCarthy: "Last year’s total energy transition investment was 11% higher than in 2023 and more than double what was spent in 2020. Most of this money is flowing to electrified transportation and clean energy.” www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

AI and data centers are fueling skyrocketing energy demand, & nuclear is ready to meet the moment. The US & UK have a chance to lead the world in adv nuclear deployment, strengthening our energy security & tech competitiveness. Our latest with Tony Blair Institute👇 www.thirdway.org/blog/revital...

What we're reading: "Wind and solar surpassed coal for the first time last year and are expected to dominate freshly-added capacity throughout 2025, with hundreds of thousands of new jobs turbocharged by the IRA’s tax credits," in @theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Climate activists hijacked the DNC chair forum with purity tests that alienate voters & stall progress. In our latest, @jsfreed.bsky.social breaks down why their demands could lose elections -- and set climate progress back. www.thirdway.org/blog/in-dnc-...

🚨 Brand new episode of SHIFT KEY is here 🚨 @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social and @jessedjenkins.com sit down with @thirdwayenergy.bsky.social’s Ellen Hughes-Cromwick to chat about what Trump’s tariffs mean for the automaking industry and the EV transition. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Trump’s funding freeze is still in effect for clean energy, stalling critical projects and putting thousands of jobs at risk. That’s not leadership, it’s chaos. www.canarymedia.com/articles/pol...

Trump’s freeze on government funding was irresponsible to begin with, and their half-hearted attempts to walk back OMB’s guidance have only created more confusion. Rescinding this memo does not mean funding is restored. 1/4

"The positive impacts of clean energy and decarbonization need to be able to transcend elections and partisan politics," @jsfreed.bsky.social tells @gristnews.bsky.social's @zteirstein.bsky.social . grist.org/politics/joe...

What we're reading: "While framed as a way to revive the American auto industry, the orders could cause US carmakers to fall behind if they scale back their electric vehicle programs," @nytimes.com's Jack Ewing writes on Trump 2.0 and EVs. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/b...

President Trump signed an executive order declaring a national energy emergency to increase fossil fuel production. He’s right: we face an energy emergency that risks our national security. But he’s focused on all the wrong solutions. 1/4

DOE's new report highlights Third Way’s analysis: Achieving all 6 Earthshots could cut 3.9B tons of CO₂ & save $850B in energy costs by 2050. This is what it looks like when bold climate action drives economic growth. Read the full report👇 www.energy.gov/eere/chartin...

The catastrophic California wildfires are a stark reminder that climate change is already impacting Americans—and it’s only going to get worse without action. Clean energy cannot remain a partisan issue – it needs bipartisan, wide-ranging support. apnews.com/article/bide...

ICYMI: The US Treasury Department finalized #45V guidance last week. This credit positions the US to lead in building a global clean hydrogen economy. But to fully unlock its potential, we need strong partnerships and clear pathways to investment. heatmap.news/climate/fina...

Global demand for nuclear energy is booming, and US advanced nuclear developers are poised to lead. But staying competitive means meeting international safeguards & nonproliferation standards. Our latest breaks down the policies we need to make that happen ⬇️ www.thirdway.org/blog/prepari...

@noahpinion.blogsky.venki.dev hits the nail on the head: manufacturing is the backbone of economic strength and national security. The US must step up with a comprehensive industrial strategy— or we risk ceding both economic and military dominance to China. www.noahpinion.blog/p/manufactur...

Today’s PG&E announcement shows how the DOE's Loan Programs Office can support a stronger, more reliable power grid — critical for boosting America’s economic growth and competitiveness. www.wsj.com/us-news/clim...

Congrats to Matthew Marzano on his appointment to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Strong NRC leadership is needed to achieve our nation’s clean energy goals rapidly, safely, and securely.

Direct Air Capture cuts carbon, creates good-paying jobs, and could unlock a $2.4T economic opportunity the US is ready to lead on. But far too many clean energy advocates struggle to communicate those benefits. For help, check out our latest messaging guide ⬇️ www.thirdway.org/blog/how-to-...

What we're reading: "The path to lasting climate progress lies not in oil & gas antagonism, but in transforming our opponents into stakeholders in a clean energy future," @arnabdatta.bsky.social writes in @nytopinion.nytimes.com. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/o...

Hey 🔌💡 folks! Remember last year when the good folks at Grid Strategies crunched the numbers and found that load growth had nearly doubled, from ~0.5% to 0.9%? Remember the frenzied flurry of headlines in the NYT, WaPo, etc? Well uh… the 2024 update is in. CAGR is now up to 3.0% 😅

What we're reading: "One more factor has propelled the nuclear industry,"@matteowong.bsky.social writes. "After decades of relatively flat power use nationwide, AI & data-center growth are sending projections for electricity demand soaring upward." www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

“There is bipartisan support for biofuels in general, and SAF will be able to take advantage of that,” TW's Alex Laska tells @canarymedia.com's @mariagallucci.bsky.social. “I think we’re going to see that dynamic continue to play out over the next few years.” www.canarymedia.com/articles/air...

"The interconnection queue is filled with energy projects waiting to join the grid, 95% of which are clean,"Third Way's @slondagin.bsky.social tells @greatlakesnow.bsky.social. "Transmission capacity is the core constraint to those projects joining the grid." ⤵️ www.greatlakesnow.org/2024/11/envi...

We at the Third Way Climate Program are realists. Donald Trump and his Admin will unapologetically champion the interests of oil and gas. The nomination of Chris Wright, however, for Sec Energy is an opportunity for clean energy and for the broader energy economy. 1/
