If you live in California, please call @gavinnewsom.bsky.social at (916) 445-2841 and urge him to sign SB 79. Here's my post about why the bill is so important: publiccomment.blog/p/newsom-s-f...

Great news: The EPA is withdrawing its proposal to delay the implementation of hazardous air pollutant standards for coke ovens. Very good news for breathers in steel communities. It's nice to win! www.epa.gov/system/files...

A number of automakers are failing to meet their own EV and climate targets - but Stellantis has taken the further step of publicly abandoning them. carbuzz.com/stellantis-a...

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

Please call the Governor and ask him to sign SB 79! (916) 445-2841

Vacant units come up a lot in discussions around the housing crisis This is a good opportunity to go over what the data actually shows 🧵

While much focus has been on the US/EU, and companies' weakening commitments to clean steel, there have been some exciting developments on the clean steel front that are worth highlighting. TL;DR: The transition to green steel is underway, yet it remains overlooked. A quick thread...

This is mind-blowing! The epic battle of the sperm whale and the giant squid has finally been caught on camera. Some combination of _Moby Dick_ and this just straight delightful paper have made this one of my many little manias since way back: www.whoi.edu/science/PO/t... We miss you, Bill.

To put this loan amount in perspective: California is spending $500 million to widen a 10-mile stretch of Highway 37 in the northern Bay Area (through a wetland, no less). But $750 million to save the *entire* Bay Area’s transit systems is apparently infeasible.

We’ve been informed by the Governor’s Department of Finance that it won’t agree before our legislative session ends (on Friday) to finalize a $750M bridge loan to Bay Area transit. This loan was agreed to in our June budget. Without it, BART, Muni, et al will cut service.🧵

Yes! energyathaas.wordpress.com/2015/01/20/o...

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

We do not spend enough time talking about this graph. IEA thinks there are 70 million barrels per day of oil that can be pumped out of the ground for under $10 a barrel. That's 70% of current production. Oil demand does not have to fall much for prices to fall A LOT. www.iea.org/reports/the-...

by its indefiniteness it shadows forth the heartless voids and immensities of the universe, and thus stabs us from behind with the thought of annihilation

even the king of terrors, when personified by the evangelist, rides on his pallid horse

And now out of Senate Appropriations and on to the floor. Uncommon but pleasing to see Rs, Ds, unions, businesses, community groups, and more all supporting zero emission programs for industry.

NEW: Last week, oil literally rained down on a Black town in rural Louisiana where 60% of folks live in poverty. The company isn’t taking responsibility & the federal + state governments are saying residents have to clean it up themselves. capitalbnews.org/louisiana-oi...

There are certain queer times in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke

Coffee is a popular drink in California, yet the process of roasting coffee beans can be expensive and environmentally damaging. I took a tour of Berkeley's Bellwether Coffee, which is leading clean tech innovation with the development of an all-electric, ventless coffee roaster.

@steelwatch.bsky.social is warning that Nippon Steel plans to supply so-called “mass balance” products, which allow steelmakers to assign emissions reductions from one part of their operations to unrelated steel products. #climatesky steelwatch.org/press-releas...

Cement production is one of the largest contributors to climate change, but scientist Leah Ellis may have a solution. Climate Economist and Columbia Professor Gernot Wagner heads to Boston to see just what Leah and her team are up to. www.youtube.com/watch?v=adW_... Go to bit.ly/3I7C7oT for more.

I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff. "Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (@science.org)

Something to consider as people heap praise upon Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick for his second Big Billionaire Bailout Budget vote...

I'm all hepped up on goofballs over this report. Very very excited about this as a source of clean heat for industry. Lots of union jobs here. Great transition strategy. Terrific work by the 2035 team, Leah!

Repealing the inflation reduction act clean energy policies is bad for the climate, bad for manufacturing, bad for costs, and bad for grid reliability. We need all hands on deck to build out clean energy and efficiency.

listen to Rebecca, you guys

"Build as much clean energy as possible as fast as possible" should be our No. 1 national priority in the coming decade. All our national resources should be bent to the task. The president should talk about it every week in a national address. It should be the moon shot X100.

In order to keep global warming below 1.5C or 2C, we need to move industrial activity to clean energy. This will MORE THAN DOUBLE our global need for electricity. We are going to need a LOT more wind, solar, geothermal, and other clean electricity than most people are expecting. ⚡🧵

US Steel and IDEM are forcing people to choose between living in the place the love and living as long as they deserve.

The Governor's budget proposal puts $3 billion of funding for public transit at risk in the next 5 years. Even if you don't ride regularly, you will feel the effects of these cuts in the form of extra traffic.

Check this out, it’s a chart of America blindfolding itself

Unfortunately, the list of projects cancelled includes a "whos who" of US industrial decarbonization projects: Sublime (cement), Brimstone (cement), Exxon's H2 crackers, Heidelberg (cement), National/Lebec in CA (cement), etc,. Kraft (zero GHG food processing). A disaster. @rebeccawdell.bsky.social

Real time degradation in our weather forecasting.

ICE recently conducted a raid of farm workers, seemingly focused on pro-union worker leaders. On Friday in New York the federal agents stopped a bus and, armed with a list, appeared to single out those who have been doing union organizing for years. theintercept.com/2025/05/05/i...

Outrageous.

The Industrial Demonstrations Program may be cut by DOGE. The IDP granted $6 billion to manufacturing projects to deploy energy efficient tech estimated to create tens of thousands of new jobs. If tariffs are supposed to jumpstart American manufacturing, why are we defunding the IDP?

Love talking with my pup about how bad Trump is at revitalizing manufacturing.

Industry experts are sounding the alarm on how new tariffs mean automakers are going to be stuck paying more for the same dirty steel products that have been poisoning local communities and the planet for centuries. www.autonews.com/opinion/gues...

Trade patterns in these materials is changing quickly as we show in a new pre-print. US policy focus has been on understanding European CBAM but this changes things and given how much of these materials we import from China, this will impact trade, prices, emissions. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Exit polls in German election: - Conservatives (Union): Won the election. - Far Right (AfD): Strongest result since WWII. - Social Democrats (SPD): Historically low support. - Greens (Grüne): Small losses. - Left (Die Linke): Surprisingly high result. - Liberals (FDP): Gone.

Shutting down already-installed infrastructure in the name of government "efficiency" while also harming business competitors of a government official who just happens to have his own network of EV chargers.

Somebody please invite me to a protest? We are having a constitutional crisis: -mass firings of public servants -disregard of Congressional power -corrupt interference with prosecutions -embrace of authoritarians &c. People should be in the streets. Anyone organizing a protest? I'm in SF Bay area.
