Terrible day for cement decarbonization. And no, there is not a magical Other Thing capable of replacing federal spending. Cement is very capex heavy. The EU has its own issues and philanthropic dollars (also in a downturn) are not capable of replacing grants/loans.

Wow, I totally forgot my constitutional rights are subject to the whims of some dipshit failson New Yorker.

The Biden Admin directed hundreds of billions to clean energy/manufacturing. Did these investments shift public opinion? We find that these projects are visible but not traceable: People notice nearby investments, but connect them to Governors, not Biden. Thread 👇 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

As someone who spent almost a decade working at the Hawk (the old one, not the new one), the Tune Inn component of this has been extremely amusing. If you aren't from DC and happen to visit, do not eat at any restaurant on that block. Only drink.

"Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces... Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft... 'It does seem like it’s a pretty comprehensive effort,'" an official said.

God, some of the quotes on this. I get that Senate rules and general parliamentary procedure can be arcane, but 53>47 and Tillis being in the majority are not impossible to discover facts. This site is plagued with high engagement, low info political and policy posters.

It's looking increasingly likely that California's Diablo Canyon nuclear plant — once slated to close in 2025 — will keep running through at least 2045: www.latimes.com/environment/... via @blancabegert.bsky.social

As someone that was on the people mover and flew out of the D Terminal like 6 hours ago, can I say something without anyone getting mad

Thoughtful piece from the Ecocem CEO on the levers available to the EU to expedite cement decarbonization. I disagree with the CCUS write off, but performance-based standards and his other policy levers (in the US, gov is 50% of demand) would pave the way for an almost immediate emission reduction

All of Canada right now:

you don't have to like it, but this is what peak progressivism looks like the left will go so much farther if it embraces patriotism and joy as a rallying cry to aspire for the country to be better

Sweden looking so dang good this last period. Can't even be mad if we lose in OT

#GraphicOfTheWeek: Advances in geothermal technology mean it is no longer limited to volcanic regions like Iceland. 43 GW of geothermal capacity is already cost-competitive with coal and gas, and up to 42% of EU coal and gas power could be replaced. ember-energy.org/lat...

In light of the finalized endangerment rulemaking, I think back to this poll. Biden and his administration did more to clean our air and reduce preventable deaths, while juicing our economy and providing hundreds of thousands of jobs across the US. Decades of progress have been undone. Sad day.

My favorite of these, No Excuses PAC, originally founded to primary Manchin and Sinema and then pivoted to ejecting Biden. Spent 92% of its receipts on operating costs in a single cycle. Screenshots all from fec.gov

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

On this day in 1992, George H.W. Bush sent a memo to all White House staff about how fat his dog was

I love when people discover that there is, in fact, a county in Virginia named Goochland. A decade ago, it was pretty rural, now it has a bunch of retirees and Richmond commuters. Also the county has a small stream named Lickinghole Creek. You really gotta hand it to the freaks in Goochland

Jessie Diggins, Olympic cross-country skiing gold medalist, from the Twin Cities: “I want to make sure you know who I’m racing for…”

It's just baking limestone and then adding a few other things, babe, I swear. And then boom you got the most ubiquitous substance on earth (outside of water) and 8% of global carbon emissions, not to mention other other air pollutants which end lives much faster. Babe pls the Romans made it

How normal people look at me when I am talking about cement:

The difference being that Texas voted for Greg Abott but Washington DC did not vote for Rick Scott.

Politics is establishing, contesting, controlling, or using the state’s monopoly on the use of violence to make people do things they do not want to do. Rest is noise.

It’s a Big Herrenvolk and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the Big Herrenvolk. Again, if a single Democrat ever talked about punishing rural areas like this for ___, it would be a nonstop national scandal for months on end. But Republicans can treat cities & urban residents like this & 🦗🦗

Basically every Gov candidate identified the problem, none articulated actual solutions that acknowledge the Legislature. Porter's early point: Texas and Wyoming build more renewables. California, if you want to decarbonize, let us build.

I am supremely glad ENH is out, because her legacy, outside of the past few years, is one of unyielding advocacy for DC and for democracy. My friends and I used to party in a backyard next to her house - she fucking hated us (reasonable) and would unleash tirades comparable to this speech.

An NHL game is also supposed to happen, which is still happening as of rn

Danes died for us. For Article 5. When we were at our very worst, Denmark was there.

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

Because of Russia, Ukraine is cold and dark, and not just for humans. I can only imagine what it would feel like to lose the pups as I ran to a shelter or they bolted when a drone hit my home. ZooPatrul is doing heroic work, reuniting pets with family and much more www.facebook.com/ZooPatrul.UA/

Nobody wants to admit to caring about the climate anymore, and yet clean tech financing is booming, making a mint for investors. Trump is betting the future on a shrinking pot. The smart money is going green. Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

A lot of people don't know this about DC, but we actually have some decent skiing/riding. Snow isn't too bad this year either.

As the president graffitis his name to beloved institutions and builds monuments to his own vanity, we must focus on how much fun it will be to tear it all down. trib.al/059XHbZ

Fun fact: @johncena has followed the DC Council on Twitter since 2022 (We know, he follows a million accounts, but still applaud his interest in municipal governance)

Man, I wish a lot of erstwhile climate advocates would channel their enthusiasm into more productive outlets. Hyperscalers attempting decarbonization is good. Verifiable EACs are good. Hyperscalers buying EACs is good. CDR tech is capex heavy. This is another financing mechanism.

Listen to this senior pup snore.

Split here. Ultimately, I support the Bonds effort. But the Council trying to undo or water down past initiatives is un-democratic. The professional activists increasingly pushing this stuff need to find a real job or better hobbies. The stadium thing was predictable and screamed: not from here
