It’s my job. ❤️

This post is by Professor Timmons Robert of Brown University. 👀

His lab placed David Stevenson at the center of America’s anti–offshore wind movement — galvanizing lawsuits, launching public protests, and backing it all through a ​“dark money” network backed by the fossil-fuel industry. 🕵️‍♀️

The man who broke offshore wind How David Stevenson, a guy with a hybrid car and a solar rooftop, helped take down a burgeoning US energy sector.

ICYMI Here’s your Friday long read:

My in-depth profile story of David Stevenson, the man who crushed America’s offshore wind industry.

Thanks to @motherjones.com for republishing. 🙏

The man behind the fall of offshore wind David Stevenson has solar on his roof and drives a hybrid. How did he become the leader of the movement that helped Trump crush offshore wind farms?

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Thank you Tony!!

This is such a fascinating story by the always-smart @fieseler.bsky.social.

What a story! @fieseler.bsky.social

Didn’t ask for this but sure OK why not

Here’s a more expansive look at the alignment of fossil fuel operatives and nuclear power proponents to crush renewables that I tounched on in my big piece today. ☢️

Great reporting @bloomberg.com team!

The oil and nuclear industries are working behind the scenes to kill offshore wind. @fieseler.bsky.social's has an excellent profile of the face (he has solar panels on his roof!) www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

Wow - @fieseler.bsky.social's magnum opus on this offshore wind foe's evolution into a central player in the falsehood-fueled movement undermining a key source of reliable clean energy is a must-read! (It's also a great beach read... ;-) www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

I’m always happy to talk climate obstruction research especially for the context of:

Thanks for your help reporting this story Alaina!

"Stevenson is one example of what is now a clear trend: The denial of climate change is being steadily replaced by attacks on solutions to address it."

Fascinating article about the (misleading, destructive, and currently very successful) campaign against offshore wind — and one of its unlikely leaders.

Wow. I am so touched by this feedback from a fellow climate reporter whose work I admire so much.

Thank you for reading and for sharing @dangearino.bsky.social 🙏

In Feb 2023, I attended a climate skeptics conference in Orlando. I was the only reporter.

David Stevenson told me there that the offshore wind industry would ​“crumble” before it reached South Carolina. And that he was leading the opposition.

I followed him for 3 years and wrote this story.

I have a story I have been working on for three years coming out tomorrow.

Judge strikes down Trump’s order blocking wind farm approvals A coalition of 18 attorneys general prevail in their lawsuit, saying Trump's freeze will raise their states' energy costs and jeopardize climate goals.

This ruling marked the *third major loss in court* for Trump's anti-wind agenda.

Last week, a judge denied the feds' attempt to revoke approvals for a Maryland offshore wind farm.

In September, a judge lifted a federal pause on Revolution Wind's construction for lacking “factual findings.”
