It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Affordability is the ultimate Rorschach test of American politics. You can see anything in it—from the need to decommodify housing to a call for cheaper gas. Pivoting to affordability is like pivoting to jobs. Everyone does it all the time. Affordability doesn’t settle debates—it starts them.

Connecticut’s pioneering model for publicly owned, small-scale solar
The Connecticut Green Bank goes beyond grants and loans to directly develop solar for towns and schools — a model other states could follow.

The Connecticut Green Bank goes beyond loans and grants to directly develop and own solar projects for towns and schools. Backers say it's a good way to grow clean energy and combat rising energy costs — and they want more states to follow its lead:

In this new report from me &
@rhymeswithocean.bsky.social
for
@cplusc.bsky.social
&
@publicgrids.org
, we argue the current electricity affordability crisis is caused by the rules of private ownership. To solve the crisis, we recommend banning shutoffs now and using many tools to expand public power!

At the United for Green Schools panel for NYC climate week. Great story from a Chicago school board member on how there was a resolution passed in June to do 12 green school pilots, creating a revolving fund for new money for these protects.

"China is the only large country driving the energy transition at anything close to the necessary speed and scale." It's also the only one whose energy transition is not hamstrung by reliance on the motive force of renewables profitability. Coincidence? I think not.

Happy to say that
@publicenterprise.bsky.social
supported the creation of this report and we couldn't be more excited about this project. It's a great spotlight of a really ambitious public energy development program that we could scale up across the country!!

In a world riven by inequality and devastated by climate + ecological crisis, what would it take for "green industrial policy" to empower the working class in Global North + South, and be truly green? New

Want a blueprint for pivoting from climate rollbacks to a strategic climate offense? That's my focus in a new article out today in Democracy Journal. The path forward is a new climate agenda written not about impacted workers & communities, but by them.
