Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.

The arrest reportedly took place in front of children.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…

This and the SWIP-N news are really bad news for Nevada. Nevada is well on its way from an energy desert to an energy powerhouse and crossroads for the entire West. These actions are throwing a wrench in this massive economic opportunity. It's energy surrender.

Well there's some good news. Housing and transit. Affordability and climate action. Two great tastes that go great together.

Governor Newsom signed SB 79!!!! Well done @scottwiener.bsky.social and thank you all for making calls!!!

Á la carte energy market will give Western states choice, flexibility and reliability The new Regional Organization for Western Energy will offer affordable, reliable energy services, and states can take what they need, writes Advanced Energy United’s Brian Turner.

They said it couldn't be done, but now it's happening. A trusted Western governance structure can support a whole range of energy market services, from markets to planning to BAs. Lower cost, more reliability. For the West, by the West. www.utilitydive.com/news/a-la-ca...

Want to reduce electricity bills 20% by 2030?

Release the data! We have over 37GW of batteries, water heaters, etc that can participate in demand flexibilty. But without data access they can't bid into the PJM/MISO capacity auction to bring down costs.

Wow this thread. Data access platforms yes!

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

This is cool

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.

This is a very nice little triptych of charts. Put this in front of every goddamn policy maker, starting four weeks ago.

You're a rich man

This is like when Hillary Clinton during the debate was asked to say something nice about Donald Trump

Franglish joke of the day: (When I ask how to spell soupçon): "A cédille under the C? You mean Atlantis?"

With the federal rollback of clean energy investment, if your plan to fight climate change doesn’t involve state governments, you don’t have a plan. You have vibes.

Colorado’s Opportunity to Lead the West Colorado has a chance to lead the West in building a cleaner, more affordable energy future—but only if it joins a Western regional market. Advanced Energy United's Brian Turner explains how stronger…

Colorado can lead the West toward a cleaner, more affordable energy future, or it can be left behind. @btturner.bsky.social‬ explains how joining a Western regional market will allow for stronger grid connections & smart market choices to achieve Colorado’s #CleanEnergy goals.

I know there's a lot going on right now, but NYMEX natural gas futures for January are $5/MMBtu. This is going to mean price increases for electricity for Americans, and is the worst possible time to be slowing down wind and solar deployment by taking away tax credits.

In #Arizona, LG Energy Solution & Rivian have partnered to help grow & sustain the American battery supply chain by developing & supplying competitive battery cells right here in America, boosting EV job growth, supporting local economies, & bolstering U.S. manufacturing.

We just found millions in waste in California’s cap-and-trade program. Here’s the fix In an analysis we published today, we found that California companies send millions out of state for dubious carbon offsets that could have helped here at home.

This is a great article. I can think several other uses for the money that would provide real incremental emission reductions. Top of mind would be fuel shift credits to help EV and heat pump adoption paired w/ load management so they're using clean electricity.
Also, go @barbarahaya.bsky.social!

Thank you, Representative Juan Ciscomani, for standing up for the smart energy tax credits that have brought projects like this battery manufacturing plant to Arizona. Please keep defending these tax credits to grow American jobs!

Read this.

With respect, this is an advertisement for Yes Energy's software, not an explainer. And the boosterish (and inaccurate) language re: Markets+ suggests a promotion agreement with SPP? In either case, I think RTO Insider's credibility would be better served if you disclosed these issues.

Briancon, it would be held in a medium-sized city in the French Alps.

And don't even get me started on Basic Econ. The exceptions overwhelm, even invalidate, the rule.

People constantly citing to "Econ 101" as if it's a good thing.

No, you're trying to drive a mock-up as a real vehicle, and amazed when the steering doesn't work.

Global EV sales jump 40% in March despite tariff turmoil Global EV sales surged to 1.7 million units in March, marking an impressive 40% leap from February, according to new data from Rho Motion.

EV sales in Q1 2025 vs Q1 2024, YTD percentage:

Global: 4.1 million, +29%
China: 2.4 million, +36%
Europe: 0.9 million, +22%
North America: 0.5 million, +16%
Rest of World: 0.3 million, +27%

And every year after that.

Little known fact: Congress ordered EPA to create the greenhouse gas reporting program in an appropriations bill that was signed by President Bush after Senator Feinstein inserted the instruction into a must-pass omnibus. EPA has no discretion to eliminate this program.
