This is also consistent everywhere renewable energy is employed. There is simply no competition between traditional energy sources & the potential offered by wind & solar. #Greensky #ClimateSky #EnergySky #EconSky

George Square colours, Edinburgh

The reasons behind this plant closure are a perfect illustration of why renewables ARE the future. They simply outcompete all other alternatives & are easy enough to produce that it's too late to stop their growth. The real question is what will we do with that potential. #EnergySky #ClimateSky

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’ I have been forced to move my classes online. If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

This seems bad, cruel, and really really dumb. As a historian, threatening the livelihooods and stability of most of the civil service generally isn't good for the stability of regimes under pressure.

That's a bubble and one that's four times the size of the subprime mortgage crisis. Expect to see everyone promise to stay in the room while finding quiet ways to edge towards the door before the stampede begins. It's how every bubble ends. #EconSky #AI

This administration has burned a thousand Great Libraries every day since they took power. There are no words for how much damage such deliberate destruction of knowledge will do to society. #AcademicSky

The government shutdown won't help there, those historically lead to economic pain that increases the longer the shutdown lasts. I shudder to think of how that's going to interact with the reduced tourism, supply shocks, & tariff pain. Bad doesn't begin to describe it. #EconSky

There's some strong parallels here with Nero building a palace on the neighborhoods in Rome that were destroyed by a major fire.

wait times are long because this guy's boss let a pandemic run riot and thousands of medical professionals left the field this piece of shit wants you to think that every problem in your life is due to immigrants when in fact your life is much easier because immigrants choose to come here

These are the kind of people who would've fought tooth & nail to save the horse & buggy industry by actively sabotaging the adoption of trains.

I still don't trust the intentions behind this but I'd imagine the official reason will not endear the Trump gov with the top brass.

Going to be interesting seeing that happen when actual spending on AI & consumer spending generally are both in decline. Even *if* AI could deliver as promised, the guaranteed destruction of so many jobs & consumers was always going to strangle this industry. #AI #EconSky

This is concerning.

Jeffries: "As a negotiating tactic, our response to Russ Vought is simple: Get lost."

7. The most banal thing you can say about NYC, but so true: the diversity -- of races, ethnicities, hair & dress, attitude, gender presentation, behavior -- is just spectacular. I guess this is precisely what scares conservatives about cities, but it fills me with energy & life. Cities, man!

This is one of the many reasons why petrostates (which includes the US) are centers of opposition to energy transition. They lose a lot of their power in a post-carbon world. #ClimateSky #Greensky

Good for the AHA!

The quiet, growing revolution in battery technology is a huge piece of why the renewable energy revolution is inevitable & outperforms fossil fuels. The only real question is whether we, as a society, will jump on the train before it leaves the station. #EnergySky #Greensky #ClimateSky

hope im not lying to myself, will have adults going over all the models soon though

Right wing crazies want me arrested because they know I won't back down. Too bad.

The idea that if you make Dems a little more Republican, Republicans will vote Dem is what’s breaking us. And it doesn’t even work!

The last time I saw a phrase like, "total unraveling in the global financial order" from a credible source was in archival documents from around the time when the Oil Shocks of the 70s were happening. All of this is thanks to TrumpCo's incredibly reckless economic policies. #EconSky #AcademicSky

Lina Khan should've been given more power to go after the tech industry. This is unconscionable.

One person familiar with the federal investigation said that “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The term "fossil fuel fascism" just keeps getting more apt as more evidence surfaces.

I don't have the numbers in front of me right now, but my initial take is this will probably be incredibly bad. Silicon Valley, frex, is not going to like this one at all.

That's some serious late 90s tech bubble stuff. The only difference is this industry is holding up what's left of the US economy. #AI #EconSky

I wonder how the administration will handle a shortchanged Halloween, a lean Thanksgiving, and a Christmas of bare shelves. It would certainly be a historic first, only the Great Depression got close to that grim. #EconSky #AcademicSky

A predictable outcome from a government run by a man with a history of violating contracts & stiffing vendors.

Trump is launching a full blown attack on free speech while his harem of billionaires buys up every media platform. This is no coincidence. It’s a coordinated attack on your fundamental right to speak freely without worrying if you’ll lose your job or worse.

Last year, the I.E.A. predicted that China’s export of clean-energy technologies in 10 years will reach $340 billion annually, roughly the same as the current oil exports from Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. combined. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/m...

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Oh look, new GoogleGlass is dropping. Let's see if that works out better for him than the Metaverse.

More of Trump's "labor" policy destabilizing the economy. It must be emphasized that farm work is labor that requires highly specialized knowledge & experience that's difficult to replace. Choking out that labor means less food coming off the vine & going to market which fuels inflation. #EconSky

@scottwiener.bsky.social this looks like a great idea! Are there similar plans for building alternatives to the NEA, the NEH, and PBS? If the past few decades have shown anything, it's that our social infrastructure needs significant investment.

#LoosingFace is a very big thing in E. Asia. To say that S. Korea is not very happy is an understatement. "MAGA is fundamentally a populist white racism. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White America Greater." www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

This is yet another problem with Trump's "labor" policy. Who wants to invest in a country that might lock up your highly skilled workers because some social media gadfly got mad & ran to ICE? #EconSky

I have maintained for a while that the reason everything around the world (funded by petro-states and carbon oligarchs) is happening rn is because the most powerful industry to ever exist on the face of the Earth has no future. And so it must wipe the future out of our imaginations.
