An offshore wind project targeted by the Trump administration has begun sending power to New England’s electric grid. A preliminary analysis by the state of Connecticut that estimates it will lower wholesale energy costs by about $500 million per year by 2028. - The Independent

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Good news on a Sunday and in times of an energy crisis:

the number of heat pump installations in the UK last year was over 4x higher than in 2020 new government figures confirm.

Virginia to become second state that allows balcony solar Residents of the state will soon be able to use the tech to lower their electricity bills. Gov. Spanberger has made affordability a top legislative…

Virginia’s House just passed a bill to legalize balcony solar — panels that residents can install on their own and plug into a standard outlet.

This is fantastic news for Virginia! 🌞 Empowering residents to go solar makes clean energy accessible and fosters community resilience. Let's keep pushing for more sustainable solutions! 🌍✨

Japan's getting serious about agrivoltaics! 🌱☀️ New standards mean crops can thrive under solar panels. Who knew farming and solar could be BFFs? Check out the details on their new plans! https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/03/12/japan-establishes-national-benchmarks-for-agrivoltaics-as-sites-expand/

Exciting times for solar! First Solar is ramping up perovskite tech, aiming for 30% cell efficiency by 2030. By 2027, the U.S. could have 17 GW of capacity. Plus, thin-film PV could deliver power rivaling 17 nuclear plants! It’s a game changer for jobs and clean energy. 🌞💡

Looking forward to drier weather and some spring hiking.

Happy Sowatturday!🤣🤣🤣

Well over 20 inches in the last 24 hours and the snow has finally made an appearance in Montana ..

This Republican Congress had its chance to limit Trump’s reckless war. Instead, they chose to let him continue his bellicose and deranged assault that increasingly endangers the whole world. History will show their sycophantic failures are central to this broken era.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Good morning from me and this smol dinosaur. ☺️

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

The Last Oil War - EV Curve Futurist Are we witnessing the last oil war? As EVs, solar, and batteries reshape energy, the geopolitical power of oil may be entering its final chapter.

Are we witnessing the last oil war? For a century, global power revolved around oil fields and chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz. But EVs, solar, wind and batteries are reshaping the energy system. As electricity replaces oil, the geopolitics of fuel may be entering its final chapter. ⚡
