Among the 22 states that drew higher-than-average shares of their power from wind and solar, 17 had below-average electricity prices in June, according to EIA data.

The government’s own data rebuts Trump Admin claims that wind and solar are driving up electricity prices, Politico reports share.google/RTIXPPQMXrTH...
“[T]he data say pretty much the opposite” of Trump & Secretary Wright’s claims.

6 Former Surgeons General Say RFK Jr. Is Endangering the Health of the Nation The bipartisan group of surgeons general included Democratic and Republican appointees dating back to the early 1990s.

The former U.S. surgeons general appointed by every Republican and Democratic president since George H.W. Bush have written an op-ed warning Americans that RFK Jr. is endangering the health of the nation by leading the department down a road which lacks scientific integrity and transparency.

New England’s final coal plant shuts down years ahead of schedule Poor economics drove the aging New Hampshire plant offline three years early, even as the Trump administration pushes to revitalize coal.

New England quits coal!

Thanks for pointing this out

Shell is so heavily invested in the "LNG or bust" strategy we should not expect anything resembling truth out of them on the topic.

My point exactly!!

I should add that this is not, at least on parchment, an insoluble problem. The Constitution provides a solution to the abuse of Presidential authority: impeachment and removal.

If she offered to compromise before the vote on the continuing resolution I might take that as a good sign but this doesn’t sound like that

California passes bill curbing utilities use of ratepayer money for political spending State lawmakers last week made California the seventh state to pass a bill limiting investor-owned utilities from using customer money to pay for political and lobbying costs.

Governor Newsom has a bill on his desk to hold utilities accountable, and get them to stop passing along their dark money campaigns to everyday Californians.

Is he going to side with utilities, or side with the public and help lower electricity rates?

Unfortunately with confusion rampant at the top, it is falling to states and alliances like the West Coast Health Alliance to fill the void in clear healthcare messaging.

Carbon capture is the filtered cigarette of our time

But I see from your profile that you know this. Apologies for sounding like a mansplainer

Methane is a greenhouse gas. Methane leaks. The methane that doesn’t leak gets burned creating toxic pollutants and greenhouse gases. LNG is not an emissions reduction strategy

Nuclear has a lot of downsides as well.

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Trump wants you to die young & pay more for electricity

You worked hard. You played by the rules. Now, Trump is breaking the promise of Social Security when you need it most.

In Trump’s America, if you’re not young and healthy, you don’t matter. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Chris Wrong again!!!!! Renewables are the least expensive option for power generation. EVs & heat pumps more efficient than combustion alternatives. Once again the secretary of Energy is lying

American taxpayers are paying people to post Bible verses on a US government account.

When Wrong says “common sense” he means things many people believe as a result of a purposeful disinformation campaign funded by the pollution profiteers

Adding this to the long and growing list of first Amendment violations by the Trump administration

Yes

I’m old enough to remember when the Energy Secretary was a Nobel Prize winner, as opposed to an oil and gas industry hack.

How many will see health care premiums increase in your state.

Thanks. Looks like it could compensate for predictable diurnal & seasonal variability just fine. Will still need batteries & hydro to compensate for abrupt demand spikes
