Suzie Wiles needs some help thinking of ideas to lower gas prices. Any suggestions? How about:
• Don't bomb Iran.
• Restore fuel economy standards.
• Offer rebates to people who want an EV but can't yet afford one.
Happening in 30 minutes! Should be a very interesting conversation, esp with @ninalakhani.bsky.social there. (and no, no one is saying that emissions are more important than lives, that's a false dichotomy).

There's something especially agonizing that this moment coincides with the complicated tax return filing period.
I also happen to be one of the only reporters on earth to have extensively reported about Ingleside on the Bay, a small town on Corpus Christi Bay that is America's answer to the Strait of Hormuz.
Global fossil fuel export supply chains are incredibly fragile and dirty:

JUST ONE YEAR'S OF SOLAR!?
In 2025, 82MT of LNG went thru the Strait of Hormuz. That's 1200TWh of gas = about 600TWh of electricity generation if it was used in gas power plants.
Meanwhile in 2025, global solar electricity generation rose by about 600TWh ☀️

#LunarEclipse FAQ:
Q: Is it safe to look at?
A: Absolutely! Unlike a solar eclipse, there's no UNsafe time to look at a lunar eclipse.
Q: Do I need a telescope?
A: Nope! Best view is with naked eye. Just look up!
Q: Does the eclipse portend terror & doom?
A: Not at all! The news has that covered.
We're inching towards WW3 and meanwhile my stupid watch refuses to sync with my phone. Both are quite existential issues
A useful piece that underscores the benefit of energy sources that do not have to pass thru the Strait of Hormuz (e.g. sunshine & wind). Renewable energy is an investment in geopolitical resilience.
China’s strategic petroleum reserve is estimated at 1.5bn barrels and they get 4-5m bpd via the strait of Hormuz, so in theory they can last the best part of a year. Of course, price effect hits imports from other sources.
Nope, but hopefully NY climate week 🤞
Months after Delhi's pollution topped the charts, my former neighbors are fighting efforts to build a temple where a beautiful park now thrives.

HUGE fan. I'm so happy for Clint too, he can finally stop creeping on Emily.
A catch up is SO overdue lady. Come to Atlanta!!!!
!!!!! Best decision ever
Paging India too...
The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?
Only 17% of Americans surveyed said they hear about climate change in the media at least once a week and only 9% of Americans say they hear about it on social media once a week.
Deleted a previous post. New 10% tariff is under *Section 122* not 232; so this is temporary for 90 days. Presumably will be followed by expanded tariffs under other sections including sham “investigations” that will be litigated. Not enough lawyers!

Georgia PSC Refuses to Reconsider Data Center Energy Plan We asked the Public Service Commission to reconsider Georgia Power’s massive expansion plan, estimated to cost as much as $60 billion. On Wednesday, the PSC voted 3-2 to reject our request. Georgians will end up paying for this poorly conceived plan for decades to come.
"Commissioners Johnson and Hubbard voted as representatives of the people to reconsider this RFP. It's crystal clear that Georgians are fed up with Georgia Power’s unchecked power to build whatever is necessary to line its pockets at the expense of the rest of the state. But the rest of the commission is committed to supporting state sanctioned corporate welfare, refusing to hold Georgia Power accountable and protect Georgia ratepayers." Adrien Webber, Sierra Club Georgia Chapter Director
Today, despite clear opposition from Georgians, the Georgia Public Service Commission voted 3-2 to allow Georgia Power to move forward with its massive expansion plan to provide power to data centers.
This interview with @rtraister.bsky.social is a serious must listen. Imagine what we're continuing to lose because women aren't taken seriously and because many men get away with so much podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...
Unfortunately it does seem this is her weak area. I'm actually glad she is putting herself out there to gain experience. She clearly sees the value but not her area of expertise
Is it "overstated enthusiasm" or the fall in demand a product of crazy expensive cars and underdeveloped charging infrastructure?
Writing is thinking.
It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.
Some more organized thoughts on climate at the Munich Security Conference this year.
This annoys me so much because we went car shopping this week and basically the only good options available to us were massive SUVs which they call "compact". They'll point to sales as evidence of consumer preference but it's really not
