The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to feed their families, and struggle with cuts to the safety net made to finance tax cuts for the super-rich. American capitalism is off the rails.

More of this, please. Store parking lots alone have so much potential for solar.

Potentially unpopular opinion: Mandatory retirement would be good in politics, academia, and elsewhere.

Headed into the Supreme Court to watch the case on overturning Trump’s reckless tariffs, which are a $2,000 tax on families.‬ ‪The Justices must follow the Constitution & the law to rule against Trump’s costly power grab.‬

If you ever wonder how un-democratic the Senate is, remember: more people voted for the mayor of New York than 49 sitting senators

Critics of renewables often point to land use as a reason not to do wind & solar. Land use IS a real issue for all energy assets incl renewables unless onsite. But what critics conveniently forget is huge land impact of fossil fuels. Aerial view of fracking sites in Texas. 👇

In these contests between land use, it's important to recognise solar often doesn't take up any land In Australia, fields of solar panels are also just called suburban rooftops 2/3 of Australia's 41.4 GW installed solar capacity is on the rooftops of Australian homes bsky.app/profile/prof...

Overwhelming majorities support our clean, affordable energy policies. In New Jersey the R attacked on electrical prices and got clobbered. Last night was a referendum on Trump’s insane price hiking, renewables hating, climate denying madness. Run on it! www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

He’ll certainly try, but I think the results might just make Republicans skittish about playing along. Gerrymandering is now riskier as they might lose more seats in close contests. Suppression tougher with slimmer margins in the states. Intimidation only backfired.

It is truly biblical how Mike Johnson sermonizes about faith while engineering the starvation of poor children, a monstrous hypocrisy that reveals the moral vacuum at his party's core.

PhD opportunity in oceanography 🌊🌊🌊 "The role of the northwest Atlantic boundary current in the meridional overturning circulation". This is an @o-snap.org related study about the AMOC. @marineinstitute.bsky.social @oceanaccess.bsky.social More information here: www.mi.mun.ca/media/marine...

GA voters turned out big for affordable electricity, electing two Commissioners ready to confront the PSC's cozy relationship with big-spending GA Power.

Inexplicably, the pro-ballroom vote failed to materialize last night

Today on SHIFT KEY: will EVs be bad or good for the grid? It all depends on how we coordinate charging (or don't), and today's guest is leading the charge to make charging cleaner, cheaper, and grid friendly. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or @heatmap.news heatmap.news/podcast/shif... 🔌💡

Does anything Sam Altman do make profits?

The winners in last night's VA and NJ gubernatorial races both focused on affordable electricity and the importance of renewable energy in driving down costs. @chuckmccutcheon.bsky.social

Huge deal! Democrats—with strong climate credentials—edge toward control of Georgia’s giant energy system

I’m sure as the American president Trump will assure the nation that we had free and fair elections today and will demonstrate class and grace by acknowledging and congratulating the winners like the true man of character that he is.

Read about the Gates memo in the news? Wondering what @kimcobb.bsky.social, @hausfath.bsky.social, @weatherwest.bsky.social, @sammyroth.bsky.social and I think about it? No need to wonder: @coveringclimatenow.org is hosting a free webinar panel. Join us THIS AFTERNOON:

New paper! Heat-pump water heaters could cut energy costs and pollution, but installs often require 💰 electrical work to accommodate backup resistance heat. My student Levi Premer developed prediction and control software to eliminate the need for backup heat and ⬆️ efficiency and flexibility. 🧵1/

The big name energy media outlets should do a "what's up with methane" series! It's perfect timing as gas generation growth explodes in the US. Everyone put @kevinjkircher.com and @profbobhowarth.bsky.social on your podcast

A greater focus on the nitrogen cycle could improve climate modeling, suggests new research.

I think one antidote to pundit scolding would be talking a lot more about methane. I just heard another big-name energy transition podcast that hosted an expert who said gas reduces emissions. No correction. It's no longer 2019! We know this isn't true.

MAGA government-haters sure love the perks. Add new jets for Noem, new 747 and ballroom for Trump, military housing for many.

Since Donald Trump took office, electricity prices have gone up by 11%. If only Trump cared about lowering costs as much as his new White House bathroom.

Whether it's SMR (www.aol.com/contributor-...) or SRM (yaleclimateconnections.org/2021/06/geoe...) Bill Gates' prescription serves to deflect attention from the only safe and assured path (decarbonization via renewable energy, storage and conservation) forward: www.newsweek.com/right-path-f...

First Cuomo got Trump's endorsement, now he's got the endorsement of the richest man in the world. It's clearer than ever that there's only one candidate for NYC Mayor who will actually stand up to the oligarchs: Zohran Mamdani.

Exxon's lies are global.

Unbelievable. This is literally his answer to every new Trump scandal. Congenital liar MAGA Mike. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

So I wake up to read that Trump is threatening military action against Nigeria. Below is a list of 10 countries that notes 4 that have either being threatened by Trump or currently attacked. Can anyone guess what the numbers on the right represent?

Here are my three truths about climate: 1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over. 2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets. 3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

Where is the energy transition headed? In my recent conversation with El Pais, I discussed the major challenges and opportunities in Europe’s energy transition, focusing on electrification, taxation, and policy alignment. elpais.com/extra/energi...

Cool that renewables have become the cheapest source of energy in the world just as a bunch of reactionary-centrist US pundits have taken up the right-wing "climate vs. cheap energy" framing.

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...

• Pardoned the "Camp Auschwitz" guy. • Dined with Holocaust deniers. • Said Jews who vote Democrat "hate their religion." • Silent when young Republicans "love Hitler." • Silent when Heritage backs Carlson/Fuentes. It's not a coincidence. It's a culture.

"Much as granaries and refrigeration transformed food markets, storage will turn electricity from perishable to persistent, unlocking a new era of energy abundance." In the future we will look back on the oil & gas era the way we look at hunting and gathering.

Hyundai’s plans for a low-carbon steel plant in Louisiana are carrying on in the face of federal attacks on green hydrogen and a recent immigration raid on the automaker’s Georgia EV plant.

"If Oklo couldn’t win approval from the agency charged with protecting the public from nuclear accidents, they would, essentially, go after the regulator, in much the way Uber Technologies Inc. and other Silicon Valley startups have obliterated regulatory roadblocks."

Not missing anything Andy. Have written a whole book about this which gets into the nitty gritty details. Please consider that you’re the one who is missing something — Gates is actually leading us down dead ends and wrong turns. Do you really want to go with him on that misguided journey?

Brilliant essay by one of our finest energy thought leaders who notes, with alarm, that Pennsylvania’s “leap before it looks attitude”toward data center is “eerily reminiscent of the early days of the fracking boom” and decided to ask AI if we should be afraid of it. And AI said…

“Here’s the thing, Bill Gates: There’s no ‘patch’ for the climate crisis. And there is no way to reboot the planet if you crash it. The only safe and reliable way out when you find yourself in a climate hole is to stop digging—and burning—fossil fuels.” — @michaelemann.bsky.social
