It’s the 250th year of American independence, and the Pope and the King of England are reminding Americans of their revolutionary values, principles, and ideals Somewhere, John Adams is confused as fuck

For the first time in 100 years, #RenewableEnergy has overtaken #coal as a main energy source (33.8% vs 33%). Bonus points if you can name the main renewable power source that outperformed coal 100+ years ago. #Energy

It’s alive! Welcome to the age of solar canals. 💧☀️🔌💡

France: cutting down vile dictators since 1789. #climatechange #climate #renewables #fossilfuels

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

If you can draw down the percentages of "total chumps who don't understand how anything works" to be 50/50 instead of 95/5 pro-Trump like it is now, Dems will cruise to big election victories.

I get this, I think this is right, and also it’s like the ur-example of an easier said than done problem. How do we reach the voters who have basically placed themselves beyond reach? How did Trump reach/win them? How do you short circuit that mechanism if they’ve placed themselves beyond reach?

If this is legit then all the energy modelling, scenarios and projections you have seen are wrong. electrek.co/2026/04/27/c...

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Big News: The Senate has blocked the SAVE Act, a sweeping voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise millions of Americans. Despite relentless pressure from the Trump administration, voting rights advocates have achieved a critical victory ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

On #EarthDay and every day, I'm working to protect you.

My experience is that with folks of green-ish persuasion in continental europe, this is THE belief that is the hardest to talk them out of. Literally better luck with a pro-nuclear argument than with trying to pitch 'transport is not the dominant driver of food system emissions'

Gonna create a department for the study of human cultural practices. Might call it "The Humanities" or some shit.

The Trump admin and Sen. Mike Lee are conspiring to destroy public lands for short term profit. Teddy Roosevelt is rolling in his grave. https://www.hcn.org/articles/interior-department-crafted-talking-points-for-public-lands-sell-off-agenda/

Choose your fighter: the brilliant networker who always does her homework (and everyone else's) or the delusional junkie cheater.

Ebikes are the great equalizer.

“Gas’s reputation as a reliable and affordable energy source has taken a serious hit, and plans for its speedy adoption in Asia’s developing nations have been derailed” This + storage + electrification = possibly the biggest energy story of the decade

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

This is the best statement I have found to describe my position on the VA redistricting vote and why I voted YES!

New Global Electricity Review 2026 report has dropped! The last one was so good and hopeful and exciting. Thoughtful of them to publish right before I have to travel a bunch. Thanks @ember-energy.org! #greensky #energysky #climate #renewables

Why am I not reading columns (and editorials) like this in the U.S. press? Even our pundits are cowards. 1/2 www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Trump's price spikes may well endure into next heating season, causing real pain for home heating. Helping households get off oil/propane heat *this spring/summer*, before heat demand picks up again in fall, should be a high priority. Big benefits for affordability, air quality/health, and climate.

Excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for the next segment of California’s solar canal initiative later this month in Hickman. Imagine generating solar power over 4,000 miles or so canals across the state. A lot of Sierra and Colorado River water to save via avoided evaporation.

Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.

one thing i'm seeing is that american liberals pretty easily grasp that the logic of 'vote blue no matter who' just doesn't apply to uk labour but uk progressives *really* struggle to get that the reasons they've turned on labour don't apply to the us dems

I appreciate a lot of people can't afford the upfront costs, so I did a bit of looking into options with zero upfront cost, in case helpful for anyone. Expect the Govt will announce more details on 0% loans for solar soon too bsky.app/profile/josi...

Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery. We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.

I joined Grand Rapids Public Schools as they launched the first electric school buses in district history. I was proud to help secure $5.2 million through the EPA Clean School Bus Program to make this possible. Let’s get kids to school safely and with clean air to breathe!

Led by “extraordinary” growth of solar, clean energy pushed fossil-fuel generation into reverse Solar growth of +600TWh in 1yr is the largest ever rise – from any source – excl rebound yrs 5/10

Renewable sources of electricity “virtually matched” coal in 2025 – they’re not niche anymore 2/10

THREAD: The IEA global energy review 2026 * CO2 record high, but growth nearly ground to halt * Clean energy shaved 3bn tonnes off CO2 * Fossil-fuel power pushed into reverse * Age of Electricity "confirmed" * "Extraordinary" solar growth * Batteries up 40% * EVs up 20% 1/10

This really is the only answer. Our dependence on fossil fuels must end. For our planet, and for our society.

I like Dorian Gray jokes. ... they never get old.

If you think the nuclear-powered supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford is the most powerful ship in the world, you are wrong. It's actually the German cruise ship Mein Schiff 4 (pictured), which successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend

alt version looks like we finally have an answer.

Excellent geopolitical analysis here that comes with cocktail bar and those fruity drinks with the l'il umbrellas

I've just been informed that they actually have 7 of these monsters and they all make the Yamato look like a toy! The Westphalian system is over and the multipolar world is cancelled. There's just one pole now and it's TUI

And since the name Mein Schiff 4 implies the existence of Mein Schiff 1, Mein Schiff 2 and Mein Schiff 3, their operator TUI Cruises likely has the strongest navy in the world right now. Iranian blockade? Doesn't matter. American blockade? You might care, TUI does not

Good morning with good news: Solar globally grew by 600 TWh in 2025, largest ever rise from any source, excl rebound yrs. RE & nuclear growth was more than total electricity demand growth. Fossil fuel generation DECLINED! RE = coal generation! iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/ade8f... #energysky

Letter in today's Financial Times co-signed by CEOs of Octopus, E-ON and EDF: "...ministers need to move levies away from electricity bills and shield households from any unnecessary grid upgrade costs"

From “The Simpsons” house genius John Swartzwelder, interviewed in The New Yorker by Mike Sacks

Six cruise ships ran the blockade of #Hormuz and I have never wanted to make an action comedy so hard.

Hear met out: what if we hide the oil in the Carnival IgglyWiggly swimming pool?

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

This is what I've always said - the American lack-of-healthcare system is a millstone around the neck of free enterprise and innovation. It is anti-American.

A spin on the now famous @tomflood.bsky.social tagline “15-minute cities: I like running into friends.”

It's been so interesting to watch this unfold. Barnes & Noble and other big book chains shut indies down in the the 1990s (and on) and then Amazon came along and ate up all the book market share. Now people tired of big corporations are creating demand for more indies

Major solar spill at nearby facility: several people report a splendid tan. More than 1 family reduced to picnicking in sunshine. #solar #renewables #climate

Amazing! This is the line to get into Peter Buttigieg’s town hall in Tulsa tonight.
