If I can't have a Joe Rogan of the left, I will accept a Ralph Nader of the right.

I knew these reactionaries wanted to take us back to the fossil fuel age, but isn't horse power a bit too far back? Next they'll want to roll back the 14th amendment...

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Yet another Don with a weird, half-baked vendetta against windmills. Does this mean I get to call JD Vance Sancho Panza?

Genuinely incredibly hustle from Japan against a juggernaut Brazilian team. Much respect. Definitely the best game I've watched so far.

Our research confirms this. Climate change increases the need for air conditioning for people to not die in heat waves. We need clean energy. We need efficient buildings. We need green infrastructure. We need more of this that most folks can imagine. We should start building it all right now.

Now this, this is a spicy meatballs.

Back when Twitter wasn't a hellhole, I posted how we're not ready to hear that the rise of Trumpist fascism has been on the back of a (then) billionaire's federal loan- and carbon-credit-boosted EV + solar fortune. History is not a straight line. heatmap.news/daily/spacex...

"Out, damned spot!"

By coincidence, I received a Nigel Cabourn cap in the mail the day of his passing. RIP to a legend.

If you don't occasionally drink it, this is probably true. Also, remember olive oil is a kind of fruit juice: you should keep it fresh, use it promptly, and don't "save" the good stuff for a couple years on the top shelf.

1/ AI is driving a major buildout of data centers and corresponding increase in electricity demand. How utilities, regulators, hyperscalers, and cities respond will affect household electricity costs, emissions, and grid reliability for decades. The wrong approach will raise energy bills. 🧵

Rep. McBride: “I assume you’re aware that Greenland is indeed part of Denmark.” Rubio: “For now.”

The fact Trump is turning to Pulte shows some combination of: * the bench is incredibly thin * he does not think DNI is a real job * he only trusts absolute loyalists, and that circle is small Its a measure of a weak and dysfunctional personalist regime.

Good morning with good news: All-solid-state batteries are in production, with mass production in 2027! They have a range of up to 1500 kilometers. They are safer & charge more rapidly. This is now the next generation battery. Multiple companies make them. electrek.co/2026/06/01/b... #energysky

Reconstruction 2.0 will require a great many people to adopt a stern, austere attitude about basic social niceties and I do fear many of you people lack the steel for it.

This is insane.

JUST DROPPED: For years I thought industrial electrification potential was limited. How wrong I was. Engineering studies point to 90%+. Long term scenarios support this. Technology is much further ahead than we think. Question is whether policy keeps up. janrosenow.substack.com/p/industry-f...

This is what you call a "Boutros...Boutros...Golly!!!"

And to think, we could have had this.

You know, watching it with my son for the first time, I've come to appreciate that back in 1997 Flubber had a pretty well articulated view on the dangers of AI.

I can't express how much it delights me to see my friend and classmate make the case for green labor standards on Volts. (Yes, @volts.wtf!) Serve as Biden's green jobs czar? Yeah, pretty cool. But get on Volts? Amazing!

The thing that makes “gutter racism” an appropriate term for this is that it goes beyond even what segregation’s savviest defenders were willing to say in public 60-70 years ago. They understood that this level of explicit racial animus was embarrassing to the cause.

Today on Volts: It has rapidly become conventional wisdom that Biden's industrial policy was weighed down by labor-quality standards. Betony Jones developed those standards for DOE & has since surveyed companies who received federal money about whether they slowed things down. Turns out they didn't!

What does this tell me? Richard Scarry never understood that Cars & Trucks are incompatible with Busytown.

Instead of trying to browbeat all the various factions & groups & interests into a single understanding of climate change, which is what the movement has been unsuccessfully doing for close to 50 years now, you need to find ways to meet people where they are, to talk about it in *their* language.

God save us all it is about to get much weirder.

1/ Every Trump accusation is a confession. A tale of two funds. 🧵⤵️ For years, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) was attacked by Trump allies as an unaccountable climate “slush fund.” Now compare it to the new ~$1.7B “Anti-Weaponization Fund” tied to Trump’s IRS lawsuit settlement.

one member of Los Angeles County's board of supervisors has more constituents than the U.S. senators of 12 states

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Just thinking about this in the context of the GGRF, and am starkly reminded that their every accusation is a confession.

Brilliant!

The consequences of this straight closure will get really, really bad, but we have the tools to make sure nothing like this ever matters again.

The only, and I mean only, two consistent policy themes in this administration are: 1. Promoting white supremacy 2. Selling US fossil fuels

It's definitely past time to create the 5 1/2th Circuit.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

I for one would like to be much more babied. Coddled even.

I'd take poptimism over slopulism any day, friend.

Amazing research out of UC Berkeley: "Off-grid renewable energy combined with heat batteries or heat pumps could cost-effectively supply one third of U.S. industrial heat demand."

He admit it

Shapiro's racist condescension is all the more gauling since Jackson is one of the sharpest jurists ever to sit on the bench. Also, I hate that this maroon shares my son's name!

When Trump pulled out of the international nuclear agreement with Tehran in 2018, Iran lacked even a single bomb's worth of uranium. Since then, it accumulated 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
