Absolute bullshit. Unreal. FDA won’t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

Many people assume solar PV degrades quickly. Long-term evidence suggests otherwise. This paper in EES Solar uses rare multi-decade field data to show that PV systems can retain a high share of their initial performance after 30 years, with lower degradation than often assumed. Link in comments.

"Hard-to-abate" is sometimes code for "we haven't looked closely yet." This great new report shows opportunities for clean heat (low/medium-temp industrial process heat) through electrification, which also has public health benefits.

Globally, no single day in 2025 was cooler than its 1991-2020 average. climate.copernicus.eu/global-clima...

This is a super insightful graph from @kingsmillbond.bsky.social illustrating how countries like India that are experiencing economic development later are skipping over some (not all) fossil dependency. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

If... "you screw up your economy trying to drastically reduce your emissions" Ah, which country is doing that (or even trying to do that)? Countries deploying wind, solar, EVs, etc, seem to be doing just fine to me. Modelling does not suggest that climate policy screws your economy either. 1/

🇪🇺 NEW | REPORT: EU CO2 emissions & fossil fuel imports review reveals emissions fell by only 0.8% in 2025; clean energy investments lag behind fossil fuel imports 🇺🇸 U.S. now EU's largest fossil fuel supplier; average EU citizen spent EUR 150 on imports⤵️ energyandcleanair.org/publication/...

Chinese auto market reaches 51% EVs. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 electrek.co/2025/08/29/e...

In all seriousness at what point did this become a situation where people can sue or this becomes criminal if their kids are sick or god forbid die from completely preventable diseases?

Given the cuts at the @washingtonpost.com I will state here unequivocally that we cancelled our subscription because of the outrageous MAGA-turn of the Opinion section. I understand it’s not fair to the great reporters there. But, I won’t support a paper that is just a mouthpiece for its owner.

As the U.S. enters a new era of #electricity demand, #affordability has become the defining issue. Our @robbieorvis.bsky.social joins Tucker Perkins on Path to Zero to cut through the noise and hone in on what 2026 really holds. 🔊 Listen to the podcast here 👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Will be interesting how this changes sales

Do you like charts? Oh yes you do. I've just published hundreds of them, as I do every year. www.nathanielbullard.com/presentations

"Not only were sales up globally, they were up in most regions. China saw a 17% rise to 12.9 million, Europe rose 33% to 4.3 million, and 'Rest of World' sold 1.7 million EVs, a whopping 48% increase." electrek.co/2026/01/14/c...

“This isn’t industrial policy; it’s industrial suicide.” Spot. On. $25 Billion. That’s What Trump Cost Detroit. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/o...

Pretty sure this is textbook extortion…

@dangearino.bsky.social asks seven energy and climate experts - including @robbieorvis.bsky.social, Michael Webber, @spears.bsky.social, and Amory Lovins - to weigh in on what they expect in 2026: insideclimatenews.org/news/0801202... 🔌💡

I had no idea

🔌💡 @dangearino.bsky.social spoke with experts about #energy affordability, including our @robbieorvis.bsky.social. See what the experts have to say about the outlook for U.S. energy markets and policy for 2026 👇 insideclimatenews.org/news/0801202... @insideclimatenews.org #greensky

This is how you do journalism in the face of authoritarianism. The facts are appalling. All you need to do is state them plainly. Well done @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Every single news outlet should be reporting that ICE murdered someone. Not that they fired shots. Not that it was in defense. It’s blatantly clear from the video they murdered Renee Good and the media should be reporting it that way. And the admin should be held accountable while they’re at it.

I’ll simply leave this here.

Surely Congress will do something about this totally illegal declaration of war… right?… Right?? Trump says Maduro captured in ‘large scale strike’ against Venezuela www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Everyone is now paying attention to NYC, where big climate victories will be married with big wins for affordability and overall quality of life.

some good climate/energy news: * 96% of new US power capacity was carbon-free in 2024 (56 gigawatts!) * 2025 included the first month ever when 51% of power on the U.S. grid was carbon-free * The golbal trend is overwhelming: The world is now investing more $ in clean energy than fossil fuels

Dude that is not how math works. My god.

Wow. That is… not great.

Our full report on how to clean up manufacturing through electrification is available at: www.2035initiative.com/clean-manufa... You can also explore data on facilities in your state and community using our webtool: www.2035initiative.com/clean-manufa...

We have the technologies we need to cut pollution from the industrial sector. In our new report, we take a deep dive into an immediate, practical opportunity: electrifying low- and medium-temperature process heat in manufacturing food, beverage, paper and chemicals. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The US is losing blue-collar jobs for the first time since the pandemic—year-on-year job losses have hit 65k as manufacturing, transportation, & mining industries lose jobs at a rapid pace while growth in construction has nearly zeroed out

Is the energy transition speeding up or spinning its wheels? @davidkeith.bsky.social, @shastingssimon.bsky.social & Ed chat w/ @robbieorvis.bsky.social (@energyinnovation.org) about what changed in 2025 & what to watch for in 2026. Watch/Listen: www.energyvsclimate.com/energy-past-...

The narrative from Rep. Moreno here is completely upside down. The U.S.' failure to compete with China on EV manufacturing to date is an existential threat to the US automakers, not the other way around. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Well that’s refreshing.

Mon Dec 8: @davidkeith.bsky.social, @shastingssimon.bsky.social & Ed chat with @robbieorvis.bsky.social, at @energyinnovation.org. They'll look back at the biggest energy stories of 2025 before doing some crystal ball gazing about what to watch for in 2026. www.energyvsclimate.com/youre-invite...

You know what all Americans want? To spend even more on gasoline…sheesh.

I for one will continue calling it the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL)

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history." BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2036...

An interesting snippet of information... Electricity generation from coal in India has dropped in the first 10 months of 2025, with renewables covering for all the growth in electricity use. Noting, growth in electricity use is rather low... More figures: robbieandrew.github.io/india/

Where are global CO2 emissions heading? Middle-of-the-road? But just because we have followed the SSP2-45, SSP4-60 path for 10 years, does not mean we follow it for the next 70 years. Policy & technology have pushed the world away from the high-end, but 2.7C in 2100 & rising is not a good outcome!

NEW: How can we make electric cars even cleaner? By using green aluminium. Switching automotive production to low-carbon aluminum could cost just €25 extra per car by 2040. Read our new study 👇 bit.ly/4qRohZI
