This is quite the soap opera that unfolded in a series of obscure regulatory proceedings across the Biden and Trump administrations. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

I’ve never seen a snake at Columns Drive in the Chattahoochee NRA. Today, I see two. And my son sees another one. And I hear of one other sighting. Happy Whacking Day, to all who celebrate!

Just returned from a week in Norway, where they’re electrifying every transport sector (LDV, HDV, construction, marine, aviation). Put aside climate, put aside economics. Electric is just *better*. Quieter, smoother, no fumes. Much more pleasant to walk around the city or cruise the fjords!

License plate definitely captures the energy

Hot off the presses, #EV market share in April in Norway was 98.5%. They sold one (yes, one) gas car in the entire month!

In Norway for a series of ostensibly EV-related meetings. At a factory visit yesterday, turns out they’re also making artillery shells for the Ukrainian army. At least in the US, we treat the Ukraine war as some sort of far-away abstract thing. Yesterday’s visit was a sober reminder that it is not.

Good. More of this, please.

That's a pretty big drop in sales. Nearly half. Lotta underutilized factory capacity out there. Full story here: www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

What are the consequences for energy markets and the transition of a potential long disruption to the Strait of Hormuz? TLDR: It’s a *lot* easier to replace 20% of LNG (15% of natgas supply) with wind and solar than it is to replace 20% of oil with EVs. mliebreich.substack.com/p/thoughts-o...

Weak candidate correctly reads the mood of the electorate.

Thank you @warnock.senate.gov. No concentration camps in Georgia. No concentration camps in the US. Never again.

You say you want to fix government budgets? Great! Immigration is part of the fix, with immigrants contributing more than they get.

You say you want criminals off the streets? Great! Time to dismantle ICE and CBP and prosecute all of the agents who committed crimes on or off duty.

Online commenters are scapegoating homeless people for yesterday's shooting at Decatur library. Many rely on our that library for services & daytime shelter. This FBI graph shows 10 yr violent crime in Decatur. Visible homelessness is surging in Decatur. Crime is not. They need help, not blame.

OMG, this!!! Caught up to a guy who close passed me recently just as he exhaled. Told him he nearly hit me, and he (high as hell) replied "oh, I'm sorry, man...I didn't even see you." I was wearing high viz yellow & had lights.

Merry Christmas to all. I hope the Christmas story inspires many people. And makes a small group of people deeply uncomfortable with their life choices.

New record high temperatures have been set today (Christmas Eve) at our four main climate sites (Atlanta, Athens, Macon, and Columbus). 🌡️ATL: 78 ---> broke the previous record of 73 set in 2016 🌡️AHN: 78 ---> broke the previous record... https://x.com/NWSAtlanta/status/2003955919609373039

No, Adobe Acrobat, I don't want your AI feature to summarize what looks like a long document. I NEVER want your AI to summarize the document for me.

I’m CEO of a justice tech company that tells people never to use ChatGPT for legal advice. So naturally, I almost lost my NC driver’s license because… I used ChatGPT for legal advice. DMV said I’d be suspended for a Virginia speeding ticket. ChatGPT confidently told me the DMV was “clearly wrong.”

Non car people trying to use car metaphors 🙄

What John said. Go read this.

Wow - read the comments from residents of Republican-led Ohio about their power bills this year. This issue has legs. People (even Republicans) want more renewables and question why they're paying more due to data centers. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/10...

See: the US auto industry

Shutting down coal plants is an unambiguous win. First, @latitudemedia.bsky.social reports that Idaho Power is requesting a rare rate *decrease* due to lower costs after shuttering coal. (1/2) www.latitudemedia.com/news/after-c...

Also: the path to electrifying transportation isn’t a straight line.

The value of having an energy geek in Congress. This bill by IL Rep. @seancasten.bsky.social is a solid piece of policy. Hoping, but not holding my breath, that it can move forward. www.utilitydive.com/news/casten-...

Just returned from a lovely few days in downtown Chicago. If by “war zone,” Sen Paul means “people exercising by the lake and walking peacefully down the sidewalk saying ‘hi’ to passers-by,” then, yes, it’s a war zone.

This is a big deal, too: a new study shows that Europeans are more willing to consider Chinese cars over American ones. insideevs.com/news/771750/...

We've got a massive amount of South Korean investment here in Georgia, a result of literally decades of economic development work. While I'm not saying we should just ignore immigration law, the heavy-handed way this raid was done imperils Georgia's economy. Everything Trump touches dies.

WTAF??!!!? We've done a lot in Georgia to welcome South Koreans and South Korean businesses. Hyundai isn't the only Korean company with significant investments here (SK Innovations, Q Cells, among others). Shame on this administration for destroying the goodwill we've built between our countries.

Proud to welcome @aydemir.bsky.social to Courtroom5 as CTO! Brilliant mind, mission-driven heart. He’s building tools to put power in the hands of people going to court without a lawyer. Game on. 🔥 #legaltech #access2justice #Courtroom5 courtroom5.com/news/courtro...

This is the way.

Electricity is getting more expensive. Blame Republicans. Receipts in 🧵 below.

Uh, hey Iceland…?

One of my team members coined the term “power losers” to describe people who lost power 5+ times a year. I can’t think of a better term, yet it makes me laugh every time I see it.

👇 A country that is investing heavily in the cheapest sources of energy (wind + solar) and just shut down its last coal plant. This is the way.

Of course Republicans are going to be blamed for rising electricity prices: they've done nothing but kneecap the cheapest & quickest-to-deploy sources (solar, wind & battery) while forcing the most expensive (fossil) to operate beyond planned retirement. 🤦‍♂️ subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

How poetic (and sad for North America).

They moved away from producing the cars the world wants (B- + C-segment crossovers, hatches + sedans) 10 years ago. They are now pretty much a large SUV + pickup truck industry, and a full-size 2.5-ton, 18-foot-long 4-door pickup truck is largely unsellable in most other mkts. But v profitable here.

This is why I’ve said the Trump admin’s moves to kill Biden-era #EV policy + longstanding emissions regs consign the Detroit 3 to history’s dustbin. Because if they aren’t producing the cars the world wants, Chinese automakers sure as heck are.
