Please remember, it was once that way

Tragic and unecesaary cruelty

Happy Friday from Hell (Portland). Wanted you all to see what it’s like to live in hell. Did you know people raise chickens here? #portlandislikehell #pdx #keepportlandboring

I long for the days when this is our biggest problem in the US

Protesting the broligarchy: canceled Amazon Prime, canceled Facebook and Instagram, canceled WA Post, would never buy a Tesla, what else????

Wow the Democratic Party looks so weak right now. Stand Up, Do Your Job!! Fight Back. Be like Al Green

Hmm, I got bit by mosquitos today. Something’s not right. It’s February, in Oregon. #whereiswinter

Malignant narcissist: Definition, signs, and more Malignant narcissism is a form of narcissism. However, it is a behavioral judgment and a specific form of abuse rather than a mental health diagnosis. Learn more.

Remember that time when we helped a country end a fascist dictatorship? Let’s do that again.

I’m sure these sheep are also smarter and don’t blindly follow cult leaders like non solar farm sheep do!

Great to be back at UChicago Institute of Politics tonight. Tune in.

Can confirm

This is a lie. The Oregon coast is actually ugly and you should definitely not move there. It rains all the time and Oregonians are bad drivers.

“The object of power is power”

I’m already bored of Blue Sky. Maybe I’m just not a social media person? Can’t seem to get the algorithm to show me anything besides rants about Trump policies or random pet photos. Is that all that is happening in the world?

Thank you Jesse, these job harming policies might turn out to be the single most harmful thing happening to our economy since Covid. We have already heard from investors they are reconsidering their investments in the US and “slimming their staff”. I hope people are enjoying their cheap eggs.

All energy projects receive subsidies

Resources — Energy Info Oregon’s energy resources are diverse. In the gallery below, toggle the arrows to learn about each resource. Oregon also exports and imports a significant amount of electricity as you can see detailed in the center list.

This article is misleading. To me this is no different than the utilities in Oregon today who deliver nuclear power to their customers.
Diversity is key to maintaining a reliable system and achieving our decarb goals

Fair? Don’t even get me started on what’s fair! Direct access for large energy consumers is a viable solution to keeping the cost of new infrastructure needed to accommodate this new load out of captured customer rates.

It’s a puzzle and bubbles with the cat kinda night

At least eight Republicans urged their tax-writing colleagues on Wednesday to preserve tax credits created or expanded by Democrats’ climate law that the lawmakers said have brought jobs and investment to their districts. The testimony by GOP lawmakers at the House Ways and Means Committee’s member day hearing illustrates the challenge facing Republicans as they craft a tax package to be passed via reconciliation, which is expected to repeal at least parts of the Inflation Reduction Act and help offset any revenue losses.

This Bill title from the Oregon Legislative session doesn't worry me at all: "Makes corporations eligible to serve on juries."

Thanks for this reminder Jesse. I’d also encourage folks to keep track of state policies. States still have lots of leeway to pass policies supporting decarbonization, even if the Federal Gov is not aligned with them.

Looks like we might have roughly 30 minutes without a presidential administration, what can we get done? Permitting reform anyone?

Trump won largely thanks to America's outrage about inflation & rising costs. Yet repealing clean energy policies enhanced/expanded by the Inflation Reduction Act as Trump proposes could raise avg household energy costs by up to $489/year @rhodiumgroup.bsky.social finds rhg.com/research/tru... 🤔 🔌💡
