A pleasure to talk with @jael.bsky.social this week about our new report on a federal offshore wind authority.

Look at our new work on what laying the blueprint for what a public offshore wind governance option looks like!!! @sevier.io @jbozuwa.bsky.social

So excited for this report to come out. We are going to need a massive reboot of the offshore industry if/when this country wants to tackle the climate crisis in the future. And it’s going to have to be led by the public sector.

novel idea to deal with a crisis!

Excited to launch my latest paper on a federal offshore wind authority. Trump is decimating OSW. But it is a *critical* decarb industry employing hundreds of union workers. When we have our next chance for federal action, we have to be ready to supercharge OSW buildout. Here's our plan:

DC folks, come thru tonight and hang out with Sandeep @katearonoff.bsky.social and @advaitarun.bsky.social to talk about Sandeep’s new book and discuss how we can learn from the past to fight for every justice now. 6pm Creative Grounds www.eventbrite.com/e/looking-to...

🎯Those of us who regularly talk to people about ending oil, gas and coal know this. But there’s also polling! Yet the elite Dem world has a bizarre aversion to bashing oil companies. They should become economic populists - and deliver. Polarize, energize, win… and go get that Green New Deal!👇

Awesome to have worked on this with great folks! Reflecting on the projects I've worked on this year - we tend to underestimate support for climate policy, whether it's RE or fossil fuel phase out. Correcting misperceptions might kick us into action

New polling out today -- voters SUPPORT phasing out fossil fuels. The last election cycle, both Harris and Trump said "drill baby, drill" but it turns out that this doesn't track with popular opinion. 👇 climateandcommunity.org/research/vot...

I've created a starter pack for Public Ownership of Energy. It's a short list of people right now as this is a topic many dismiss outright so there aren't many of us. Others who have done work aren't on Bluesky yet. I'll also be pulling together all relevant work on this topic into one place.

We've found consistent support among U.S. voters for public ownership @dataforprogress.org. A 🧵 of a few charts for your feed. 67% of voters agree that new infrastructure projects should be mostly publicly owned moving forward. www.dataforprogress.org/memos/2024/5...

Hey Bluesky, I am excited by all the energy coalescing on this platform. It seems like a place for strategic thinking, which we badly need. A few initial thoughts: 🧵

I’m going to be in DC in December to celebrate Sandeep Vaheesan’s new amazing book Democracy in Power. Come by Tues, Dec 17 for our panel to talk energy justice in the age of a new Trump Admin. And tell me if you’ll be in DC so we can get coffee! www.eventbrite.com/e/looking-to...

Wow so many new ppl on Bsky 💗 Excited to reactivate myself. The moment is dark, but so many are ready to fight. Let’s go. Including a pic of my pup Leon for sweetness factor. 🐶

Excited to join this panel reception in DC for “Powerlines: Building a Labor-Climate Justice Movement” alongside incredible renewable energy rank-and-file organizers from across the country! Tonight in-person at 6pm, register here: forms.gle/HpzqKF4afPjS...

Extremely cool event in DC next month! Join @cplusc.bsky.social for a conversation ft @jbozuwa.bsky.social @advaitarun.bsky.social & Kate Aronoff with Sandeep Vaheesan on his new book, Democracy in Power on the history and future of public power. Register here: www.eventbrite.com/e/looking-to...

🥹 TFW your comrade starts an incredible new organization that is the piece of movement infrastructure that public power + energy justice organizers DESPERATELY need!!! @sevier.io

NEW REPORT! Planning to build faster: a solar case study. We argue that fast, equitable solar deployment requires the federal government take a more active role in coordination and planning. @cplusc.bsky.social @rooseveltinstitute.bsky.social rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

Today is giving me all the feels. Climate & Community Project turns into Climate & Community INSTITUTE! I'm so proud of what we have built over 4 yrs. We are more than a short-term project-- we want to be an institutional home for the climate left. climateandcommunity.org

I have a suggestion re: permitting reform which, increasingly, is less center-left, more center-right, and infected w/obnoxious “ecomodernist” approaches.

Out Today - A Progressive Take on Permitting Reform Dustin Mulvaney & I argue that we don't need to cut red tape to accelerate renewables. We need: - way more coordination and planning - enhanced community participation + consent - a mandated transition rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

this is the GOOD STUFF folks: a progressive take on permitting reform; one that centres community justice rather than parroting fossil industry lines. By Johanna and Dustin (are they on here yet???? Get them on here!!!!) rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...
