The arc of history is a foot-long, but it bends towards justice.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

This is really dumb and lazy, even for Bjorn. Hey, B, what's the biggest cause of both air pollution and climate change? (burning stuff, mainly fossil fuels) And what's causing forest fires to increase, dramatically raising air pollution? (climate change)

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

The art was less inspiring after that. In the 1950/60s, Social Security also produced comic books "in an effort to reach the youth audience, which in those days used comic books as their hottest medium of communication"!

Batteries Save Illinois Consumers $12 billion! The Illinois Legislature passes a big energy bill that will deploy 3 GW of battery storage by 2030 and more solar. Battery storage will save consumers $12 billion by cutting capacity costs! pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/11/05/i... #energysky

The part of "abundance" that a lot of folks don't seem to talk that much about is a highly resourced, highly skilled, and larger public workforce. This is required to do awesome things.

women, are they bitches?

I'm recalling this recall because all gas-powered leaf blowers should be banned

Pennsylvanians who purchase their insurance through the ACA will see their premiums go up 100%. Some central counties will see a 400% increase. Republicans have shut down the federal govt to make sure this happens. penncapital-star.com/health-care/...

I was on a panel yesterday and the moderator said, “I love your optimism [about addressing climate change]” I deadpanned, sincerely: “we have no choice”

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

In his careful style, I think Zeke hits it on the head here

YOU GUYS WINS KEEP HAPPENING

This is great news and a rare display of bipartisanship on a clime related issue. Because at its core, Energy Star is just a common sense way to lower bills for consumers and everyone can get behind that messaging.

Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.

all my respect and best wishes go out to the NTSB right now, who are investigating yesterday’s crash without getting paid due to the shutdown. knowing the NTSB, they’ll put the same amount of effort into it as if they were being paid because they care tremendously.

GA PSC commissioner-elect Johnson: “This victory [is] for the single mother choosing between groceries and her power bill, the senior trying to keep the lights on, and the young voter who showed up believing that their voice matters,”

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

Whoever did the onions and the mustard quote with the courtroom scene from a Few Good Men was the winner. Just can't find it now. This is a great skeet

Inexplicably, the pro-ballroom vote failed to materialize last night

Utility regulation is important. One coal plant in Georgia - Bowen - operated by Georgia Power, has operated at a loss of half a billion dollars over the last 10 years. An easy fix at a time of rising electricity bills. utilitytransitionhub.rmi.org/economic-dis...

The fact that Democrats won both elections yesterday for the Georgia Public Service Commission is remarkable enough (no Democrat had won a non-federal statewide race in GA since 2006). But both won by a margin of 63% to 37%. In Georgia. results.sos.ga.gov/results/publ...

Public Utilities Commissioners are climate policymakers and we finally started acting like it

Before Bedtime I got to tell my daughter that those postcards she helped me write, they helped win the PSC Election in Georgia. That is a memory I'll have for a long time.

We've been doing power generation and distribution using combustion and a brute force approach which is incredibly wasteful in many ways. The good news is we have a lot of ways to move beyond this approach now, that benefits us all in many ways. Progress.

Interesting about the 22 hours/year. This aligns with the energy storage VPP programs around the nation. The batteries are expected to be used a handful of times for a few hours each time during complex grid moments. Our power grids are build to sustain these peaks, but now we have tools.

The job of a regulator is to protect people from pollution. This work is not free. US Steel is opposing fees that would support Allegheny County to do its job - in one of the worst metros for air pollution in the country. @pennfuture.bsky.social breaks it all down -->

Corruption is a small investment for these corporate donors: “Fourteen of the two dozen publicly named corporate donors face federal enforcement actions or have had such actions suspended by Trump administration officials since the start of his second term, the report states.” wapo.st/4hD7dm0

"if big new power users [data centers] curbed demand just 0.25 percent of the time — about 22 hours a year — the United States could accommodate more data centers without burdening household electricity users." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/o... @tnorris.bsky.social

I did some coverage of @kevinjkircher.com's paper here. And I agree with Brendon's comment here. The convo around gas - even in energy and climate circles - is often inaccurate, and accepts industry talking points as fact gasoutlook.com/analysis/two...

I think one antidote to pundit scolding would be talking a lot more about methane. I just heard another big-name energy transition podcast that hosted an expert who said gas reduces emissions. No correction. It's no longer 2019! We know this isn't true.

Without the filibuster, things that are popular with the majority of US voters could become law

As we debate building a new generation of fossil fuel infrastructure for data centers and LNG exports, it's helpful to understand how the last generation's infrastructure is faring. Answer: the fossil fuel industry (and now the fed gov't) has left it behind to poison our communities.
