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

I see BYONCE is really trending now.. happy to see it making the rounds.

This right here is why the Dems constantly capitulating is a dangerous game.

目标类型及描述。争取到 2035 年温室气体排放水平稳 中有降，比 2030 年下降 5%以上。 "Target type and description: Strive to achieve a stable to slightly reduced level of greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, with a decrease of more than 5% compared to 2030." (Google Translated.)

Far as I can tell, the five-year plan recommendations are the first time that the Central Committee has explicitly called for electrification of energy use. The previous five-year plans only had it in the energy sector plan, so elevating it to the top level is significant.

Disappointing but expected. Gov Hochul has done her best to undermine much of New York’s leadership on climate policy. Notably she argues that state targets are unachievable because IRA tax credits are gone. But those didn’t exist when the law was passed in 2019… www.eenews.net/articles/new...

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved. Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning. ig.ft.com/mega-batteri...

This is the perfect lens through which to observe the absurdity of what is happening.

The U.S. EPA is proposing to repeal GHG tailpipe emission standards, which would would (over 25 yrs): 🫰 Force U.S. households to pay $310B more 📉 Cut the GDP by $710 billion 👷‍♀️ Cut an average of 110,000 jobs/year 🏥 Cause 17,000 pollution-related premature deaths energyinnovation.org/report/repea...

Nope, Energy Sec'y Wright, offshore winds in fact blow in winter. 1st year of operational data from NY's South Fork Wind project shows a 47% capacity factor in the year ending June 2025, with performance highest in the winter. Coal's avg capacity factor: 42%.

Whoa. Always sorta suspected this case but wow.

Someone please help me understand these vetoes because I don’t get it.

Context: forecasts were collected in mid-2022 with outcomes assessed by mid-2025. Here's the report: forecastingresearch.org/near-term-xp... It'd be good to see details on how "resolved" values were set. H2 costs vary with local renewables, utilization, subsidy eligibility, etc.

And so it begins. Using AI generated content to drum up fake sentiment and pretense for military action.

Just a colossal self own ceding 21st manufacturing to other nations we compete with. Unbelievably short sighted.

DENNING: ".. We are in year one of a Trump administration that is determined to crush what he has called the EV 'hoax.'" Ford's plan "must surely trouble even the most committed ideologues to see their anti-EV onslaught hasn’t .. changed the direction of travel." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

It’s a good thing Texas installed so much reliable solar, wind, and battery capacity to shoulder the load in the event the state’s unreliable coal generation suffered a catastrophic failure. Because apparently it did. 🔌💡 ieefa.org/resources/ne...

$16 billion. That's how much the PJM market monitor estimates that electricity ratepayers will pay via increased utility bills to subsidize interconnection of data centers owned by Big Tech. A massive give-away to some of the most profitable companies in the world. www.eenews.net/articles/dat...

Jesus just say it loud. IT’S ILLEGAL.

I wonder if this will get even a small fraction of the press that the battery fire at Moss Landing received. Fires happen. But fossil fuel-related fires are far more common than fires at lithium ion facilities. And, a fire like Moss Landing will never happen again given design changes.

Thank you to the career federal employees, who show up to work every day and improve people's lives across the country.

Good.

Just so we’re clear there’s zero evidence that any of the things Hegseth listed today matter whatsoever for our military preparedness, right? Totally political.

Have you seen this Climate Tech Atlas that @robbieorvis.bsky.social and the gang at @energyinnovation.org put together with a bunch of partners? Another great way to navigate emerging climate solutions. climatetechatlas.com

Anyone else feeling like some recent MS Word update just totally destroyed formatting? Seems to have gotten so much worse in the last few weeks.

China NDC for 2035 -Net economy wide GHG emissions by 7-10% from peak levels Increase share of non-fossil fuels in total energy consumption to over 30% -Expand installed capacity of wind and solar power to over 6x the 2020 levels, striving to bring the total to 3600 GW

Xi just announced China’s new NDC, from my live listen, he said: - China will by 2035 reduce economy wise GHG by 7%-10% from peak levels, “striving to do better” (I heard GHG but may just be emissions) - Will increase "non-fossil fuels" to over 30%

Headline number of Chinese 2035 NDC just announced: 7-10% below peak level, "striving to do better", also 3600 GW of solar and wind. According to our analysis www.country-ambition.cgs.umd.edu/china this is more in line with what "Current Policies" will already deliver, rather than "High Ambition"
