We can reduce electricity bills 20% by 2030 if we all promote demand flexbility programs. Tesla just announced that they sold their 1,000,000th powerwall. Millions of new water heaters, smart thermostats, home EV chargers, and other devices can be enrolled in demand flexibility programs.

“Eggs were the symbol of inflation in the last election. Now, as electricity bills spike, they are becoming a symbol for consumer frustration in 2026. Eighty million Americans are struggling to pay, four in five feel powerless, and politicians are scrambling for someone to blame."

Lots of Third Actors—and lots of the youngest generation joining in for Sun Day

📆 Save the date: Thursday, September 25, is our next All-In Call with clean energy pioneer @jigarshahdc.bsky.social Sun Day is just the beginning. We’re keeping the momentum going ☀ RSVP here: thirdact.org/events/all-i...

By setting aside 20% of the battery storage to provide the grid with energy when called upon, he was able to bring the payback time down from ~9 years to ~18 months. He also credits @jigarshahdc.bsky.social with starting his career in microgrids. #EnergySky youtu.be/YSPRHiB6iVE?...

‼️ How much more electricity will the US need to support new data centers showing up around the country? Read our NEW article to find out what needs to be done to manage eye-popping forecasts rising demand 📈➡️ www.wri.org/insights/us-...

The Fed just admitted we’re in stagflation. Powell said it best: "Risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment to the downside, a challenging situation." The economy is weakening, folks are losing their jobs, and inflation remains persistent.

Exceptionally well done documentary on the liberating power of solar energy. Thank you @billmckibben.bsky.social & @jigarshahdc.bsky.social for the incredible motivation. 🥰

“But recently the hardheaded investor and policymaker Jigar Shah, who led the Department of Energy’s venture-capital-style Loans Programs Office under Biden, has started to predict that clean tech will bring an end to energy poverty globally within a decade.”

This is an incredibly uplifting video of both hope and reality. The sun is democratic. You can’t hold it hostage. From the Fossil Free Media team, with @billmckibben.bsky.social, @sanders.senate.gov & @jigarshahdc.bsky.social youtu.be/IDK-3RC5SgY

I love this with my whole soul

Three bills pending in the CA legislature from Senator Josh Becker will lower utility costs, stabilize demand, & invest in renewables. Let's get them passed this week! See op-ed by Josh & Jigar Shah. www.mercurynews.com/2025/09/08/o...

"We are, quite suddenly, living in a world-changing moment" 380 GW of solar deployed in the first half of the year. No other technology can deliver speed to market or anchor the load growth coming the next few years. The US can add 100GW of rooftop solar+ storage in record time.

Following the Hyundai raid, LG Energy Solution suspended most business trips to the US and directed employees to return home immediately. It comes less than two months since South Korea committed $350B in US investments, including a $26B Hyundai steel mill in Louisiana.

A majority of voters (56%) believe that ending tax credits for large renewable energy projects will increase the price consumers pay for energy.  A bare majority (51%) also believe that doing so will decrease U.S. competitiveness in renewable energy technology and innovation. emboldresearch.com

As I get ready for #REPlus25, I listened to Episode 850 of The Suncast Podcast. Great insights from Nico Johnson, Abby Hopper & @jigarshahdc.bsky.social on how to navigate this year’s conference. 🔗 zurl.co/lGo25 #Solar #CleanEnergy @o3energy.bsky.social

Clean Energy is dominating in a big way. It is very clear that traditional fuels can’t scale 10x to meet this moment. I think clean technologies we will solve electricity poverty globally with solar + batteries by 2035. But our industry is being run by folks that are too risk averse.

Best heat pump video! It’s accurate, engaging, and sharable—let's fight myths and misconception with good information.

“Bottom line - we see an opportunity to cut ~40% from the cost stack, reducing average solar + storage installations from > $5/W today to ~$3/W.” As we accomplish this cost reduction goal, the avg residential customer saves $$$ across the 🇺🇸 while helping their local utility. x.com/teslaenergy/...

Electricity rates are going up. The administration has to propose a solution to the affordability crisis. Going back to fossil fuels is accelerating rate increases as new NG is coming in at $95/MWh. High-profile wars against solar/wind are not helping affordability. Grid Enhancing Technologies VPP

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

After 60 years of trying to electrify populations with fossil fuels, people finally figured out there was a much better way. One with less corruption. Electricity poverty is real and clean energy is now at scale to solve it. This will unleash human flourishing.

'When you are deploying twice as much CapEx per year as O&G, and you spend 1/20th of the budget on influence you brought this on yourself...it is a wake-up call if I’ve ever seen one' 🔥🔥🔥 from @jigarshahdc.bsky.social www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/trump-has-de...

Trump's ending the $800 duty-free exemption on Friday but customs hasn't told postal services how to actually collect the tariffs. Germany and Singapore just said forget it and stopped shipping packages to the US entirely. www.ft.com/content/43ae...

I am excited for all of the new plug-in hybrid vehicles offerings. 10-20kwh batteries providing up to 50 miles electric that can be easily recharged overnight plugged into the wall. For the vast majority of families 30-50 miles meets most daily needs!

Bravo. "This has eroded and hindered the agency’s ability to effectively manage emergencies and other operations, including national security work, the letter says."

100% on our current electricity crisis as well.

The thing to remember about Waymo is that they are miles and miles and miles ahead of everyone else left in the robotaxi game. In other words, if stuff like this is still happening to them, it's happening to everybody.

Do you work at the Office of Management and Budget? Do you know someone who does? Are you a current or former federal worker with information that you can share about Russell Vought? If the answer to any of these is "yes," please contact @andykroll.bsky.social www.propublica.org/tips/

It's true — Amtrak's ridership is doing well nationwide. In FY2025, it's likely to be far higher than FY2019, based on data through June (FY ends in Sept).

Now that the guidance from Treasury is out can we talk about the 1.5 MW threshold? There are 450,000 flat, open, sunny roofs of medium and large warehouses and distribution centers are perfect locations for solar panels with almost 16.4 billion square feet of rooftop space.

So great to see @jigarshahdc.bsky.social supporting the sale of MN Power. C’mon northern MN, let’s do some Big Things, like America used to do.

Global ICE sales peaked in 2016 at 80.47 million autos and fell to 62.05 million in 2024! They will fall further as EV sales continue to grow around the World. EV sales may be 30 million in 2028, pushing ICE below 50 million.
