The Trump Admin constantly tries to tell us that only woke blue states are moving toward clean energy. The speed and scale of the wind, solar and energy storage buildout in Texas tells a very different story.

🌬️Reposting our latest piece on Trump's extremely wrong takes on China's wind power sector -- and just wind turbines in general: u.afp.com/Chinawind

In year one, Trump’s policies have SLOWED - closed, delayed, etc. - 70 clean energy manufacturing projects worth $74B and 68,958 jobs. 109 projects have still ADVANCED - moving toward construction or operation - worth $61B and 61,107 jobs. www.the-big-green-machine.com/post-trump-s... 🔌💡

I'd really like to change "This not who we are" to "this is how we need to stop being who we are."

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I asked Rainbolt, the best Geoguessr in the world, to help us investigate the Epstein Files. And tell us his secret origin story, as a guy running a Steph Curry IG fan account: youtu.be/v01eKPK0m20?...

NEW – Prof Ben Santer: Trump administration is ‘embracing ignorance’ on climate science | @rtmcswee.carbonbrief.org Read here:

Even by Trump's standards, his comments on the global wind turbine market were incredibly misguided, so was really happy to contribute to this fact-checking piece. To be fair, many smarter people have also gotten the wrong idea due to all the hype about China's dominance of clean tech.

I am not being gloomy! I am correctly understanding what is happening!! (not directed at @ketanjoshi.co obv)

“If a mostly white community can push back on this project and get it stopped, it’s unacceptable that the next move is to fly under the radar in a rural Black community with even less transparency,” Black added. www.canarymedia.com/articles/dat...

🪁Experts tell us Donald Trump has got the Chinese wind energy market all wrong. "European turbine manufacturers still dominate the market outside of China, the complete opposite of the picture Trump was painting" @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social u.afp.com/Chinawind

When I used to do more talks about climate change, a question I used to get a lot was how do I have "hope." And one time I broke and was there's a right side and a wrong side, and this is like asking me if I would join the nazis if I knew they were going to win.

Congratulations everyone! We did it.

First new piece of the year for @wired.com. I chatted with @donmoyn.bsky.social about the cycle of policy and online conspiracy that has defined Trump 2.0 aka the "clicktatorship." www.wired.com/story/everyt...

Lol, lmao etc.

@tomh-analyst.bsky.social Hi Tom, I am a reporter with AFP news agency! Could we DM for a story I am working on? Thanks!

Trump HATES wind power...unless its being used by his sons to mine for Bitcoin. 👀

"The world is worse than I can comprehend, and getting worse every day. But people are still loving one another and people are still gay and people are always going to write stories. And there is no world in which stories aren’t worthwhile, even stories about the ephemera of love."

Today's story with @saraschonhardt.bsky.social on the implications of Trump's stated intent to withdraw from the IPCC (which has been the de facto situation for most of the past year) and how some organizations are stepping up to fill in the gaps. www.eenews.net/articles/the...

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up. Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes. More: www.climatecentral.org/climate-serv...

That heaviness you feel after events like yesterday is real. We've all accumulated a lot of mental and emotional weight in the first year of Trump's disastrous presidency. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-physic...

I just watched two women get kidnapped right in front of me in Northeast Minneapolis. ICE is still terrorizing our city.

A New York Times video analysis of an ICE agent’s fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis contradicts the Trump administration’s account. Watch our investigation here.

Write a poem today for her. Fill it with rage. Fill it with defiance. Fill it with grief. There will never be enough words, but a poem can hold it somehow. A paradox, a fold in time, a miracle of expression. Write a poem today. For her.

NEW: I spoke to the X user who created the super viral AI-generated image of Nicolas Maduro in US custody. He told me he used Google Gemini's Nano Banana Pro to create the fake. "I never expected this to become the most shared picture worldwide." www.barrons.com/news/never-e...

And (most) men aren't going to change their eating habits, anyway. In fact, I have found through experience that there's almost nothing most men will deliberately do if someone tells them it would be good for them. Must be the wiring.

As everyone talks about Greenland, don't forget its actual global significance--a two mile thick sheet of ice that if melted would raise the sea level 23 feet (and long before that choke off the currents of the Atlantic) open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

On my walk this morning.

Greenland is back in the news so I am compelled to remind folks that while yes, there are rare earth minerals there, the tech weirdos who have infiltrated the government have also been obsessed with Greenland as part of their network state plan for a long time. drilled.media/news/network...

NEW with @manonjacob.bsky.social: Donald Trump blamed US windmills for killing bald eagles in a Truth Social post last night. But the photo was years old, taken in Israel, and of a bird that experts said was definitely not an eagle and more likely a type of falcon. www.barrons.com/news/trump-g...

@sheldonbirds.bsky.social Hello! Happy New Year! I am a reporter with AFP. Could we speak very briefly over DMs, I need to ID a bird for a quick article I am writing.

This is such an important point, and it is so sad that it needs spelling out, and still many academics mesmerized by “AI” do not get it irisvanrooijcogsci.com/2022/12/29/a...
