Because we deserve good things, here is Matt Berry as Steven Toast as The Doctor. This is from three years ago, but I didn't know about it until they mentioned it on @radiofreeskaro.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3vD...

Trump views energy geopolitics “almost like the world is a Settlers of Catan board—you kidnap the president of Venezuela and, ipso facto, you now control all the oil,” @roryjohnston.bsky.social told me i took a look at why Trump's plans to pump more Venezuelan oil are a lot harder than he thinks

I will not say it. I want to. But I won't. Thanks for the memories, Isiah.

Not only a perfect denouement, it was the end of an era. Thirty years ago today, this strip was published.

That was rough. I wrote about the year in climate, drawing on my colleagues' work throughout 2025. My colleagues are some of the very best, and this year was one of the very worst. insideclimatenews.org/news/2812202...

This past year had a combination of policy fiascos, natural disasters and a steady march toward a future that is too hot. Here are the stories we tracked in 2025.

How does rooftop solar affect electricity costs for everyone else? This is understandably a touchy topic for solar advocates. insideclimatenews.org/news/1812202...

Just realized that for the rest of my life when I download a household survey data series into FRED I'm going to have to think about the blank from October 2025. A pebble in my shoe that I'm stuck with.

Important analysis here from Ember. Compare dispatchable solar at $76/MWh (given these assumptions) to the most recent LCOE numbers from Lazard. At these price points, it's game over for thermal generation. (NB: combined cycle gas isn't particularly dispatchable)

I don’t see how this is going to help this company be larger and more of a global player in 2030. Is the future just selling trucks within the US and letting China dominate everywhere else? insideevs.com/news/781883/...

Man this @fieseler.bsky.social long-read for @canarymedia.com is fantastic, and long both due to its length and the fact you will need to walk away from your device, scream into the sky for 5 minutes and return to continue reading So much to break down here.....

"I found that 1,891 power projects with a combined 266 GW of generation capacity have been cancelled in 2025—equivalent to roughly one-quarter of America’s entire current electricity generation capacity."

Here's a really great, clear explanation from @michael-thomas.bsky.social of what we know about why US electricity prices are rising. (No, it's not data centers, except in some very specific local areas.)

new from me: are data centers going to wipe out water supplies? how much water does ChatGPT really use? and what's going on with that big correction in Empire of AI? i went long on the conversation around AI and water, and how it's actually about what we want resources to be used for:

AI’s huge appetite for power is reviving demand for older and dirtier fossil fuel energy. Inside Climate News's @dangearino.bsky.social speaks with host Steve Curwood about how massive AI data centers could put vital climate targets out of reach. www.loe.org/shows/segmen...

I paid a really high sourcing cost after writing critically about this company in 2022 ... and, well ... www.technologyreview.com/2022/06/16/1...

Federico Borman, member of an Indigenous community impacted by oil operations, said his aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and father “have died or are dying of cancer tied to oil contamination.” “To think their own country—my country—has to pay the company that began it all makes me sick,” he added.

Western companies are finally launching their third-generation EVs, with better pricing, more range and more polished software. Here are some reasons for optimism in the electric space coming very soon. insideevs.com/features/781...

You need to read this story by @fieseler.bsky.social. Speaking as someone who covers some of the same issues, this is one of the best stories I've ever seen on this subject. Really, really good stuff. www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

People across the country have opposed data centers in their neighborhoods. A letter to Congress from hundreds of enviro groups states that they want to stop these developments until “adequate regulations can be enacted to fully protect our communities.” insideclimatenews.org/news/0812202...

“...agency defendants candidly concede that the sole factor they considered in deciding to stop issuing permits was the president’s direction to do so.” This is a big deal, and it ain't over. “With this ruling behind us, projects can now be judged on their merits.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/c...
