NEW: Hochul is gearing up for a rematch after a state court ruled Friday that New York is violating its flagship climate law and ordered the state to comply. Here's where the fight could go from here. nysfocus.com/2025/10/30/c...

Hey @billgates.bsky.social: Thought you might want to read our new study:

finally got to meet @ayanaeliza.bsky.social☀️

oh I am so excited for the cabin trip tomorrow:)

curious what is everyone’s take on ethical use of AI for mild editing for format, structure & grammar, finding references etc. vs Generative AI. I find the former to be acceptable, and consider that to be a low emission activity?

happy @sundayofaction.bsky.social ☀️

'If fascism scares you the way it does me, figuring out how to break the centralized power of the fossil fuel industry is a key form of resistance.' - @billmckibben.bsky.social

Bring your questions for @billmckibben.bsky.social as @canarymedia.com discusses how solar and wind benefit our communities and what's needed to overcome political challenges. Plus, you can find out how to take part in Sun Day 🙌✴️ Register here for August 27: forum.canarymedia.com/canary-media...

It was great to have Brian Deese on this week's podcast. We talk about the impact of the IRA and the implications of the OBBBA. TLDR: The solar/EV industry lacks real political power. www.latitudemedia.com/news/open-ci...

Oh, the way I miss the era when DOE was led by Secretary Granholm and @jigarshahdc.bsky.social. Atleast I have this to remember.

Everytime I need to type Big “Beautiful” Bill to look for news, I throw up inside a little.

Here comes the sun, little darlin’! For a refreshing and heartening view of unstoppable progress on the road to a clean energy, @billmckibben.bsky.social gives us this solar gem. Thanks Bill! www.newyorker.com/news/annals-... 4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment | The New Yorker

Can anyone connect me to the organizers at @sundayofaction.bsky.social? Thank you :) ☀️

🗣️ Reminder: There are more of us than them! These are a few of the vocal anti-clean energy voices to keep an eye on who are attacking the clean energy revolution because they know it works! 🧵👇

It keeps getting worse everyday, isn’t it?

"If anything is going to break through the culture wars, it is a strong economic business case for continuing to build out a clean energy system. And that case is strong." youtu.be/2OoLDAenHi4?... 🔌💡

NOAA’s cutting-edge specialized models “got this right,” @weatherwest.bsky.social tells @jeva.bsky.social of the Texas storms. Trump's proposed budget slashes their funding. More below on the endangered weather models that predicted Texas' floods ⬇️

The Senate version of GOP's budget bill dropped in the middle of the night. Astonishingly, it got EVEN WORSE. It raises energy costs, kills $100s of billions of investment in manufacturing, makes grids less reliable, increases pollution & constrains our ability to compete w/China on AI. Loser stuff.

“Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday the Senate would not move to overrule its parliamentarian after she advised that including key provisions in the GOP’s domestic-policy megabill would expose it to a fatal Democratic filibuster.” www.politico.com/live-updates...

Zohran & NYC DSA spoke to millions & found ways to reach far beyond the echo chamber After yesterday's win, the Left nationwide can make a real turn towards mass politics If this campaign didn’t fit your ideological priors, maybe those priors are wrong www.laborpolitics.com/p/zohrans-hi...

Last year, I heard @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social speak at a Green New Deal happy hour during NYC climate week, and now is he is about to become mayor of the biggest city in the US! Hopecore, finally? ☀️ Congratulations, Mayor Zohran!

Today's heat wave was made FIVE TIMES more likely by fossil fueled climate change Yet Republicans are trying this week to pass a bill that would decimate the energy transition and sell off swaths of public lands to fossil fuel companies

More good news!

"Mamdani's campaign has put forth a transformative, green vision of a city that works for the 99%—one that takes on the existential threat of the climate crisis through kitchen-table proposals to improve working peoples’ daily lives + take back power from the richest 1%" jacobin.com/2025/06/mamd...

Been saying this for a while, people care about affordability and improvement in their quality of life. Decarbonization and clean energy can provide that, we just need better messengers.

Clean energy projects are breaking ground across the country, creating jobs and bringing home manufacturing that will bring costs down. Trump and Republicans want to shut them down. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

You know why climate change keeps me up at night, it’s going to cause physical instability at scale humans haven’t known, that’s much worse than a war.

Some good news! “The parliamentarian ruled several sections of the bill under the jurisdiction of the Environment and Public Works Committee also violated the Byrd Rule. She ruled against the repeal of funding authorizations in the Inflation Reduction Act.” #EnergySky thehill.com/homenews/sen...

We dive into the Senate Finance committee's overhaul of the Inflation Reduction Act:

The Republican controlled Senate has released their Finance committee text. On energy policy, it improves slightly over the House bill — but it will still gut clean energy projects, killing jobs largely in Republican districts. This is a garbage bill. THREAD. 🧵 www.finance.senate.gov/tax-reform-2...

It was a great event! The whole episode will be on Open Circuit soon! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

Likely a result of unavoidable cost pressures too. Fresh gas is increasingly expensive. Nuclear can't spin up quickly without more robust policy. @tnorris.bsky.social writes about this for data centers in his load flexibility report. @jigarshahdc.bsky.social's been flagging high costs for gas.

U.S. clean energy prod. and storage is about to have a dark period. But @jigarshahdc.bsky.social, ex- Director of DOE's LPO, says that regardless of agenda, clean energy is the U.S.'s future. Now Congress decides whether clean energy will be expensive or affordable. trellis.net/article/whyj...

Loved that @jigarshahdc.bsky.social kept it real at the Transition-AI conference by @latitudemedia.bsky.social⚡️ Electricity demand growth is a massive challenge ahead of us, let’s recognize that as we race to decarbonize. Thank you @stephenlacey.bsky.social for a wonderful conference.☀️

Finally got to see @duncamp.bsky.social in action talking about DERs at the Transition-AI conference by @latitudemedia.bsky.social⚡️

Hidden in Republicans' Big Ugly Bill is a provision to destroy rooftop solar—an essential tool used by majority low- and middle-income families to reduce their energy costs.

Exclusive: I have confirmed that the federal government is still refusing to process permit applications for land-based wind projects almost six months into the Trump administration. Not just offshore. It threatens untold billions of capital investments in the United States. via @heatmap.news

NEW: Harvard is the fifth largest employer in Massachusetts - Trump's retaliatory funding freeze against Harvard is an attack on our state and our economy. Today, I'm filing a brief urging the courts to stand against this unlawful action and protect academic freedom.

Crippling clean energy industry and environmental protections + making it easier to lease oil and gas projects & keeping up the expensive coal plants afloat is a recipe for climate disasters. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/c...

Wohoo, what a fire line up, come join us ⤵️ #EnergySky

The Trump admin ordered a coal power plant to stay on past retirement. Customers in 15 states will foot the bill www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/c... 🔌💡

According to recent modeling by @jessedjenkins.com & others found that the GOP budget bill could boost emissions by 1 billion tons per year by the year 2035. That’s equivalent to Japan’s annual emissions (the 5th largest emitter). Let’s protect clean energy & climate progress ☀️ Join us tonight!

Taking place TONIGHT!!

Look at this gorgeous chart from @gridstatus.io on the energy transition in California. Those that said solar would not be able to replace gas were wrong. The drop in gas from 2023 to 2024 is real, but it also includes a change in the way @californiaiso.bsky.social tracks gas generation. 🔌💡

He’s not wrong. Musk threw over $290 MILLION into the 2024 election to help get Trump and other Republicans elected. Let’s look past this broken bromance and focus on the real problem: broken campaign finance laws. It's time to overturn Citizens United.

I know our Green New Deal mayor is the best, @wutrain.bsky.social ☀️

NASA scientists describe ‘absolute shitshow’ at NASA GISS as the Trump admin. seeks to eliminate the storied lab as an "independent entity" in favor of a broader, as-yet fuzzily-defined Earth modeling effort. www.cnn.com/2025/06/05/c...
