The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight.

Federal scientists will stop updating the NOAA list of billion-dollar weather disasters. The list, which had grown rapidly in recent years, reflected both worsening extreme weather and expanding development nationwide.

Yesterday, the Dept. of the Interior (DOI) announced it will implement emergency permitting procedures to fast-track the approval of fossil fuel, mining, and other projects.

Absolutely shameful that anyone would agree to help the Trump administration instead of fighting against these types of baseless attacks against firms.

A federal judge sharply criticized the Environmental Protection Agency for canceling $20 billion in climate grants without providing evidence of misconduct, but she did not indicate whether she would intervene immediately. www.dailyclimate.org/epa-faces-le...

BREAKING: A federal judge has determined that the Trump administration is violating his order lifting the blanket spending freeze on federal grant programs. He is orderin gthe administration to immediately unfreeze funds, including for NIH and the IRA. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Northeast Ohio is set to receive millions in obligated funds to implement energy projects which would "relieve pressure on state ratepayers...facing a 10-15% price hike in their electric bills starting in June", but the Trump Admin has irresponsibly and illegally put these projects in limbo.

Here's everything you need to know about Doug Burgum and Chris Wright's first week on the job, which @zeitlin.bsky.social sums up as "produce energy, as much as you can, mostly fossil fuels."

California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy. The state went a record 98 of 116 days providing up to 10 hours of electricity with renewables alone. grist.org/energy/calif... #Energy #CA #California #Renewables #Solar

Nearly $2.1 trillion was invested in the global energy transition in 2024 — the highest-ever annual amount. Most of this money is flowing to two energy-transition sectors: electrified transportation and clean energy. Learn more in the #ChartOfTheWeek: https://buff.ly/4guT08I

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

Trump backed off this week's extreme funding freeze—but climate and energy grants remain frozen. EPA's funding portal is down. Binding contracts are at risk. And challenges to this usurpation of Congress' authority have yet to reach the Supreme Court: www.canarymedia.com/articles/pol... #energsky
