Oh yes, this is clearly now.

This needs to become a huge story

Major U.S. utilities earn an ​“F” on a new report card because they’re planning to build far too little clean energy and far too many gas-fired power plants. grist.org/energy/utili... #Climate #Utilities #Research #Science #GreenSky #News

I'm glad that @christianonre.bsky.social increasingly includes nuclear in his analysis, if only to show that adding nuclear is really more expensive than a system running completely (100%) on renewables.

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Critics of renewables often point to land use as a reason not to invest in wind & solar. Land use IS a real issue for all energy assets incl renewables (unless on-site). But what critics conveniently forget is the huge land impact of fossil fuels. Aerial view of fracking sites in Wickett, Texas. 👇

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

In a country with a functioning legal system, former French 🇫🇷President Sarkozy sentenced to five years in prison for criminal conspiracy to solicit election funds from the Kadhafi regime in Libya

Donald Trump is about to have me indicted on bogus charges. Here’s why I’m still glad I got him elected in 2016. by James Comey

UCLA in the ranks of institutions that stand up—and prevail. And another [non-Scotus, of course] federal judge in the ranks of those who stand up for rule of law. Courage and principle are contagious. Stand up, and support others who do.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Unprecedented corruption & lawless authoritarianism happening right in front of us, every day.

"By the end of the year, we aim to have 200 percent more dipshits writing columns for us. As long as you are a Ben Shapiro knockoff who can string together the words 'the intolerant left' and occasionally criticize Trump, you have a home here on our opinion pages."

We’re not talking about this enough.

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

From invaluable @calmatters.org, funding update for Calif Prop 50. "Support" lets CA gerrymander to offset TX -"Support" has 100x more "small-dollar" money -Nearly all "oppose" money comes from one person: Charles Munger Jr, like DJT a princeling heir Vote YES calmatters.org/california-v...

Why are electric bills so high? If your monopoly utility spends $10 million on wires and transformers, your state will let them increase prices to recover the $10M plus ~$1M per year, every year for the foreseeable future. You and your neighbors will pay ~$35M for ~$10M of infrastructure.

Science doing its thing again 👍🥳

it's going to be like when we got rid of smoking in restaurants and on airplanes and within a matter of maybe a year everybody was like "we allowed WHAT?"

Trump is working hard to try to kill some of the largest and fastest growing jobs in the US e360.yale.edu/digest/us-cl...

ICE arrested 49yo Duwayne Baugh in NYC yesterday. Duwayne has been in the US since he was 14. Until his arrest, he was caring for his US citizen wife, Kaiisha, who has terminal cancer. This is the harsh reality of mixed-status couples. It shouldn't be this way. www.newsweek.com/ice-detains-...

WSJ: “.. Lutnick also told meeting attendees that the administration would discuss ‘suspending’ all other green card categories so the gold card path would represent the only way to immigrate permanently.” 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong". Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

Um...

Preach

Storage not only made the grid more reliable it also helped consumers. Storage now makes up a majority of ancillary services and prices are at historic lows.

Gas & coal plant outages were up 50-100% on a majority of days in July and August compared to 2024. But there was *a lot* more solar & storage (~10 gigawatts combined) to fill the gap so there were no energy emergencies, or even conservation calls despite the thermal outages 2/

We were promised increasing renewables on the grid would cause blackouts all the time. Meanwhile, back in reality, the very blackout prone Texas grid had an uneventful summer BECAUSE of renewables.

FWIW the first time I ever saw the word it was in a graffito on a wall in Venice. I had to ask what it meant. Much like the Holy Roman Empire joke, it is neither domestic, nor terrorist, nor an organization.

Another day of Trump

Judge slaps down Trump administration effort to shut down 80% complete wind project as the “height of arbitrary and capricious actions."💪 One small victory for climate and lower electricity bills, one small defeat for Trump and the fossil fuel industry 👍

📉Electrotech is driving fossil demand towards terminal decline by 2030. The signs are clear 1️⃣ Industrial fossil demand flat since 2014 2️⃣ Buildings since 2018 3️⃣ Road transport since 2019 4️⃣ Half the world has passed peak fossil power Full deck: https://loom.ly/cHKJU28

NEW: Mexico could displace ALL US gas imports for power generation, with solar and batteries ☀️ The country’s abundant sunshine means it can become a global solar superpower and boost its energy security at the same time:)

American university launches investigation into an archaeology professor suspected of being an ”antifa”😂🤣🏆

Une université américaine lance une enquête sur un professeur d’archéologie suspecté d'être un « antifa » www.legorafi.fr/2025/09/19/u...

hey so this is insane

I found the leader of Antifa

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Oh, great job, everyone. You made Chuck Schumer drop an f-bomb. I hope you’re all happy with yourselves.

Had to double check if this was real. It is.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves. The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

Americans could learn a thing or two from the French.

Clean-technology projects “worth nearly $42 billion have been delayed, shrunk or canceled since Trump’s inauguration.” @bloomberg.com @liamdenning.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

designating ANTIFA an enemy of the state is telling on yourself
