Big 2026 energy news is hotter, deeper, faster! @fervoenergy.bsky.social drilled a successful appraisal well (11 days 555 F) proving a 2nd gigawatt scale greenfield geothermal site in Utah. Data centers should sprint to capitalize near term, clean, firm energy! #utpol fervoenergy.com/fervo-energy...

Context and quote from me in the this @sltrib.com article. It should be alarming to anyone in Utah that Rocky Mountain Power/PacifiCorp isn't planning to build any new solar, wind, or battery storage in the next 20 years for Utah. #utpol

Excellent new video by Simon Clark interviewing @hausfath.bsky.social discussing the rate of warming and climate sensitivity in great detail. Must watch!

It's hard to keep up, but did we already know Bjorn Lomborg was hanging out with Epstein?

Recommended read: A commentary co-authored by climate scientist Prof @clequere.bsky.social in Nature argued that several climate trends have locked in “irreversible progress in climate action”.

So many reports of ways that climate change is costing us lots of money now and near term. No longer far off in the future. This one might connect with people interested in outdoor sports. Each might not seem big, but added up climate change is already costing us far more than clean energy.

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up. Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes. More: www.climatecentral.org/climate-serv...

Whether you like it or not, climate policy is energy policy. The misguided decision to leave these international organizations means that US interests will not be represented in rooms where international energy decisions are being made. It's undermining US national interests.

How about some good news? In December 2025 wind surpassed coal in PacifiCorp's (Rocky Mountain Power's parent) monthly generation. Thanks to new transmission lines & a 600 MW Wyoming wind facility coming online last year, we’re building momentum for a #CleanEnergy future. #utpol 🔌💡

Joint European statement on Greenland. They moved quickly after Miller’s comments about annexation last night.

No gas, no problem in Norway. Most buyers went electric last year, even as incentives start to fade. insideevs.com/news/783304/...

Don't support the US illegally stealing Venezuela's oil? Get yourself an EV and destroy that demand!

Worth noting, there will never be an illegal war over solar energy. That's what true energy independence looks like.

The big difference between 2002 and 2026 is that we now have viable alternatives to oil for transport. Don't want to support an illegal foreign war for oil? Drive an EV!

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

NYU law professor Ryan Goodman and his nonpartisan team compiled a review that found more than 35 federal judges had explicitly stated that the Trump’s Justice Department lawyers were providing false, highly misleading, or intentionally inaccurate information in cases.

One the first set climate research centers, labs & groups joined Bluesky, the next group came fast: so I needed a Part 2. Here's the 2nd list of official organizations who made the move to bluer skies. Choose a few to follow or click the whole list! Day 7 of my 20 Days of Climate Starter Packs.

Lauren said it best: we're getting coal for Christmas. This is just so incredibly stupid. There's not even coal supply or demand. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Unfortunately, hiding your head in the sand will not make climate change go away www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/c...

Something to be thankful for! Utah's largest coal-fired power plant—the Intermountain Power Project, located in the west desert near Delta and serving southern California—stopped burning coal at mid-day on Wednesday, just in time for Thanksgiving. 🔌💡

First electric cars and buses, now trucks: in the past we were often told that electric trucks would not be feasible. But the market is picking up speed and electric trucks have become a reality. Expectations are for significant market expansion in the coming years.

Gas car sales have fallen 30% from their peak in 2017 as EV's have exploded in popularity around the world Only one direction for cars and that's cheaper, cleaner and better Cold as ICE 😎

It's so over for Tesla in China. The Xiaomi YU7, a Model Y rival, not only outsold Tesla's Model Y in October, but it outsold Tesla's *total* October sales of 26,006 vehicles by 29%. 💀☠️

Yet another record breaking storm supersized by a warming world 😢 Climate change doesn’t create these storms: it makes them worse. They intensify faster, reach higher strengths and dump more rain. That’s why climate action isn’t just about saving the planet: it’s quite literally about saving US.

Headline: ExxonMobil doesn't care about people and the climate because oil is simply too profitable.

"Rooftop solar is spreading fast in Jamaica, and people with panels got their power back almost immediately. The ‘entire neighborhood benefits,’ one resident said."

Not sure if these are the Page One headlines WH was going for. @wsj.com

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

Hundreds of people packed the Hillsboro City Council auditorium to decry the escalation in immigration enforcement in the community, following weeks of reports of federal agents in unmarked vehicles detaining residents and dragging people out of cars. www.oregonlive.com/washingtonco...

As I am one of the climate scientists he is referring to here - and I am a scientist who decided to dedicate her life to working on climate precisely because of how unjustly it disproportionately impacts the poor and vulnerable - let me clarify my rationale and thoughts below. 🧵

"It's the classic way that military coups happen. They say, 'these revolutionaries are about to take over the government, so *we* had to take over the government!'" @gtconway.bsky.social joins @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social in the latest episode of Sarah Longwell Explains It All:

New study in Nature by Lin et al shows how the sea-level rise from the melting Ice Age ice (a total of 120 meters rise) ended thousands of years ago. Until our fossil fuel use started a new phase of rising seas. Graph shows the global mean rate of sea level rise. 🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars: 1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

"'It’s killing the business,' the manager said. The manager noted that Home Depot is emphasizing “free delivery for contractors so they don’t have to risk themselves”—a sign of how the company has had to adjust."

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism. The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

Great coverage from @emorwee.bsky.social of the first entire unit to be let go at CBS News under new management: the climate team 🙃 heated.world/p/cbs-news-k...

Good news from @solarindustry.bsky.social: seia.org/news/domesti...

Solar and storage have made up 82% of new energy capacity so far this year. Without it, America will lose the AI race.
