the renewables industry has a lot to gain from lower interest rates, but it has a lot more to worry about now than the cost of debt heatmap.news/economy/fed-...

The Fed announced a quarter-point cut in interest rates. But will it be enough to ease the pain for renewables developers? @zeitlin.bsky.social reports:

This @heatmap.news survey is wild! Americans are more comfortable living near natural gas facilities than wind, geothermal, or even data centers. Those of us working in climate have really butchered risk communication for natural gas (yes, I know fossil fuel disinformation matters, too)

As @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social points out at @heatmap.news, the US government's plan to kill off emissions data reporting also kills off the mechanism through which carbon capture projects get tax credits Probably a significant net financial loss for a the few high-polluters with operational CCS?

It was great to chat with @emilypont.bsky.social @heatmap.news about my book EXTRACTION. We discussed why mining is so conflictual, the power relations of extractive frontiers, how organized communities fare better & why we should use the public sector to proactively plan + govern. Link ⬇️

Late-breaking news: The Trump administration’s attempt to kill an important EPA climate database may gut the carbon capture tax credit.

"We need a transition between an area that is going to burn, and that we can let burn, but not in a way that is catastrophic." @jeva.bsky.social speaks to Dan Efseaff, the restoration ecologist building a wildfire buffer in Paradise, CA:

"For the past two decades, the U.S. has been reducing emissions by an average of 1% per year. In the coming decade, @rhg.com projects that Trump’s policies could reduce this rate by more than half." heatmap.news/climate/trum... via @emilypont.bsky.social 🔌💡

NEW SHIFT KEY WHY UTILITY REGULATION KINDA SUCKS Why is the US power grid getting so expensive to maintain? It might have to do with the “cost-plus” way we regulate utilities. I chat with @jessedjenkins.com about some ways to cut the bloat. Listen for free: shows.acast.com/65bac3af0334...

I wrote about the large number of incorrect or just plain weird claims from Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s X account. It’s starting to influence how actual energy professionals perceive the Department of Energy, I argue: heatmap.news/politics/chr...

people support building data centers near them than almost any type of energy project (except a coal plant) heatmap.news/politics/dat...

survey finds less than half of USAmericans want to have a datacenter built nearby… heatmap.news/politics/dat...

More signs of a potential populist backlash to the data-center buildout, as Americans come to grips with the jobs AI may take away — and the utility bills it will inflate. @lorak.bsky.social @zeitlin.bsky.social heatmap.news/politics/dat...

@heatmap.news survey: 44% of respondents would support or strongly support a data center being built near them while 42% would oppose or strongly oppose it. "Strongly oppose" is 24% - a window into the activism that has sprung up and will likely grow as the data center boom accelerates.

EXCLUSIVE: A new poll from Heatmap Pro indicates that 42% of Americans strongly oppose a data center being built near them.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright sure has been wrong about a lot of things lately, as @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social picks apart in this brutal @heatmap.news fact-check of the energy secretary’s tweets. heatmap.news/politics/chr...

A new report from @rhg.com shows that U.S. emissions reduction could slow by more than half under Trump. @emilypont.bsky.social analyzes the findings below.

Electricity is getting more expensive—and the culprit, in much of the country, is the poles & wires. On Shift Key, Rob and I unpack why distribution utility regulation kinda sucks, why it's so important, and how to fix it so utilities have incentives to be more cost efficient and save consumers $ 🔌💡

ICYMI, @emilypont.bsky.social assembled a full timeline of the Trump administration's attacks on wind energy last week, from Trump's first-day memo to the Interior Department's recent legal moves. Check out the rest of our latest wind coverage below 🧵
