The US has burned through over 1,000 Patriot interceptors ($4 million each) to stop an onslaught of Iranian drones ($20k to $50k each).

BREAKING: A judge refused to block a Kansas law that invalidates the driver’s licenses of transgender people and allows trans people to be sued for using public restrooms.
This isn't the final say, and we will keep fighting in court to stop this discriminatory law.
What if I told you that Transportation is the highest-polluting sector of the American economy?
Now what if I told you that ~100% of that is from oil?
Now what if I further told you that we can do something about it but mostly aren't even trying?
Almost ready to fly.
i just called Schiff. (his level of accountability to voters is truly astounding, all day every day)
Musk’s xAI wins permit for data center’s makeshift power plant despite backlash
As someone who once co-authored two books in support of nuclear energy: this is likely the kiss of death to nuclear power.
It is a risky long term investment that is uniquely dependent on social acceptance. An incompetent, very unpopular government slashing safety rules leads to a reaction.
ICYMI oil and gas companies in Australia used this very odd ruling in a greenwashing case to push for stripping all climate orgs of the right to sue 🤯 @roycerk2.bsky.social reports drilled.media/news/santos-...
📍 NEW 📍 Wars in Iran and Ukraine are fueling a boom for U.S. LNG exporters in Louisiana. But residents don’t see a dime of those profits as much of that money then flows out of Louisiana to investors overseas. Read DeSmog's latest: buff.ly/k59VhNz
A dispatch from the annals of Project 2025 authoritarianism: Universities are now being required to provide demographic data on all students who applied to their schools for the past 5 years so the feds can sniff out illegal affirmative action. Until last year, tho, keeping such data was not allowed

If you want to beat them, figure out how to organize a bloc of economic actors whose material interests are served by the transition. Organize a bloc with *more power* and then *defeat* them. That's how this works. You're not going to fucking seduce them with your clever verbiage!

California utility PG&E is testing how self-throttling home power controls from startup Span and grid-balancing smart meter controls from Itron can help customers install more EVs and heat pumps without costly grid upgrades. Here's how it works: www.canarymedia.com/articles/uti...

This is why 👇 we STRUGGLE to make the transition to renewable energy.
It's all there -- technology, economics, science -- but we keep digging up our own destruction out of the ground to burn.
$4b to poison the well. And everything else.

Love to see more non-profits installing solar to cut costs and further their mission. Sad that the IRA direct pay credits that made this possible were killed. We managed to leverage those for three nonprofits locally.

Hard to believe that we're 10+ years into this and "Trump says..." is still treated as news without the need for any additional context, such as the fact that he has a history of saying a whole lot of things, most of which don't make sense.
What's mystifying me is what the actual use case is here. There has to be one, otherwise nobody would be funding them.
I was interviewed by @nytimes.com about Reflect Orbital's terrible idea to use giant space mirrors to illuminate Solar farms.
The numbers are crazy. They'd need 3000 satellites to provide 20% of the midday Sun to just one solar farm. And they want to charge $5000 per hour per satellite!
I'm not sure if the average Dem or even the average climate type has really caught on to the fact that ALL the big money guys in DC are absolutely banking on a huge renaissance of natural gas demand. They are looking at more gas, more pipelines, more more more, with no upper limit. They're giddy.
xAI wants to build a huge, natural gas-burning power plant in Southaven, Mississippi. Regulators plan to hold a key meeting about this in Jackson, ~200 miles away, on Election Day for the 2026 primaries tomorrow. Some residents will trek out to hear what they say...

Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.

You can take action with people in Arizona from anywhere. Here's how, with @leadlocally.bsky.social, one of the best organizations out there doing this kind of work.
TPUSA is teaming up with Google and NextEra in both municipal and statewide races in Arizona, in part to control the future of a gigantic, publicly owned water and power utility, the Salt River Project.
Note the coalition here. Masks are coming off at the utility and energy intersection.
