🧪 NEW STUDY: Air pollution increases risk of Lewy Body Dementia, the 2nd most common dementia after Alzheimer’s* Your reminder that air pollution is just another name for fossil fuel combustion byproducts. *linked to air pollution in previous studies 1/3 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Energy Secretary Wright and Interior Secretary Burgum have both cited "pollution" from offshore wind turbines as one of the reasons they need to be scrutinized or shut down.

EPA's latest repeal will force Americans to pay another $310 billion, this time in higher fuel costs. That's *on top* of about $820 billion in extra fuel costs Congress piled onto household budgets from the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" This administration keeps forcing Americans to pay more.

The only subsidy this administration likes is handouts for coal. Government welfare for fossil fuel ✅ Government help for families ❌

You don't need to care about climate or think energy transition is good for health and wellbeing to recognize that these people are fools. They're ceding technological and economic ground without a fight and all the while proclaiming themselves warriors.

Waiting in line for bagels w/5 year-old son. Cybertruck pulls up, Elon-bro gets out and into line. Son says loudly “dada look, a cybertruck!” Elon bro gets excited, waits for compliment. “Dada that truck is SO UGLY” Elon bro looks absolutely gut shot in front of entire line. Parenting win.

One of my favorite things about the Nissan Leaf I drove from 2022-2024 was absolutely *dusting* muscle cars off the line at traffic lights, then watching the bro get big mad at the outrage of it all.

New York's South Fork Wind, America's first large offshore wind project, is generating electricity as at the same rate as New York's natural gas generators. How's that for reliable power? (via @justingerdes.bsky.social) www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/trump-claims...

"Just like solar energy in the 1970s or electric vehicles in the 2000s, these potential breakthrough technologies could compress decades of decarbonization efforts into just a few years" Innovation, apace of deployment, is the key to net zero www.forbes.com/sites/energy...

Such great timing! These are the kinds of bills everyone should receive ☀️

Coal plant shutdowns are dominating US grid news, caught between planned retirements + forced re-openings by DOE. But what does closing a coal plant actually mean? Interesting Q+A w/ @michelle-solomon.bsky.social + Nikhil Kumar of GridLab substack.com/home/post/p-...

US electricity rates soar 7% in a year, utilities have increased or will increase rates in 41 states: 1/2 of US power customers will be hit. Our research shows the culprits are expensive coal, volatile gas, and wildfire liability. Clean energy is the cure. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

What if, and hear me out, we decided to scold a little less and push abundance a little more? What if, in a hotter world, we stood for something cool? My latest on @heatmap.news calling for heat pump populism for the sweaty masses heatmap.news/ideas/heat-p...

“Here’s what states need to do: buy renewables now while the discount is still available. And hurry. This is a limited time offer to deliver low-cost clean power,” Bill Ritter and Mike O’Boyle write.

The "Big Beautiful Bill" will spike consumer bills, cost America jobs, and threaten power supply shortfalls. But smart states are moving quickly to accelerate deployment before tax credits go away. Psyched to work with @oboylemm.bsky.social on this NYT column. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/o...

Scoop: Conservative activists have petitioned the Trump administration to take away the permits for *an operating offshore wind project* — Vineyard Wind — after the admin expressed openness to undoing previous approvals for such projects heatmap.news/plus/the-fig...

A lot of folks still have 2000-2010s era power prices in their heads as “normal” with an expectation that we will return to “normal” at some point. There are many reasons that isn’t true, but this is probably the biggest among them. We are in a new era of power prices.

"In 2023, global fossil fuel subsidies amounted to $620 billion, compared to $70 billion for renewables, the UN report said." Remember this every time the fossil fuel industry and right-wing politicians attack clean energy incentives apnews.com/article/clim...

America may be throwing up roadblocks to the electric vehicle economy, but the rest of the world is accelerating toward a clean tech future - @margotoge.bsky.social highlights EV innovation in Chile, the United Kingdom, and Norway. www.forbes.com/sites/margoo...

“Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it.”

As the Trump administration’s “big, beautiful bill” eliminates many clean-energy incentives in the United States, China continues huge investments in wind and solar power. See images of the scale of China’s solar-power projects:

So many ways the "One Big Beautiful Bill" will harm Americans but this stat is particularly crazy: It'll reverse 75 years of falling electricity prices. What an ugly outcome for our country and our workers (via @ogfiki.bsky.social) thepowerline.substack.com/p/the-big-be...

My colleague @benzipperer.org estimates if Trump meets deportation targets of 1 million per year, it'll lead to massive job losses: 6 million total, 44% of them jobs belonging to US-born workers. If Trump gets $160 billion in new enforcement money, he might pull it off. www.epi.org/blog/the-rep...

In October 2024, multiple top-tier media outlets told me their editors wouldn't approve stories on our Project 2025 modeling because Trump disavowed the plan. And here we are. heated.world/p/this-is-ex...

The Trump-endorsed, GOP “one big beautiful” mega spending bill is expected to seriously slow EV sales & clean energy development in the US - bad for Tesla. www.cnbc.com/2025/07/01/t...

"Think tank Energy Innovation released analysis that forecast the bill — in large part due to this excise tax — would prevent 300GW of generation by 2035. That’s an enormous amount of forgone energy: The entire US grid had an installed capacity of 1,200GW in 2023" www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

Why are Congressional Republicans giving China a $300 million tax break in the same bill that imposes an energy tax on Americans? 🤔 www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

hi it would mean the world to me if you listened to my band Ekko Astral’s debut album “pink balloons” & if you like it tell yr friends ok thanks love u 💞✌️

NEW: Tucked inside the GOP mega-bill is an excise tax for solar and wind. And Republicans say they have no idea who put this provision in, or why. "I don't know where it came from," Senate Budget Chair Lindsey Graham, who released the bill, tells NBC News. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

That's upwards of $30 million/year we'd be handing to China, & $300 million over the budget window. How? The U.S. exported ~9 million tons of met coal to China in 2024 at ~$135/ton. The PTC would pay 2.5% of costs, or about $30 million, all so China can outcompete U.S.-made steel.

Friday overnight, they added a line to the #OBBA that would send hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to China to subsidize dirty steel. Insane. A subsidy for #coal we mostly export. A subsidy to export coal to China to produce steel for less. Steel they use to compete with America.

Senator Joe Manchin (a coal baron who lives on a yacht) decimated the 2022 Dem reconciliation bill, cutting ~2/3 and shredding some of the most impactful text. Any Repub senator could be this bill's Manchin. Margins are razor thin. Hold-outs could win vast concessions. Today's the day to call them.

The Senate is trying to jam through their version of the #BigUglyBill in a midnight, Saturday vote! Click here: actionnetwork.org/call_campaig... or call 833-971-2490 and tell your Senators to vote no on all motions to proceed and pass this climate and community killing budget bill.

"Red states including Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas could see up to 18% higher energy costs by 2035 if Trump’s bill passes" An absolute pleasure to work with @ellanilsen.bsky.social + @robbieorvis.bsky.social on this important CNN feature. www.cnn.com/2025/06/27/c...
