MEMO: Rising energy costs dominated the ballot in 2025โ€”and created a playbook for Democratic candidates in 2026 | Climate Power Today, Democratic candidates prevailed and won critical elections in New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia and New York City.

As the dust clears, and the Trumpists assemble their wreckage, it becomes more and more clear that a Democrat approach of clean and affordable energy is an indomitable message. Its a winner. Check out this analysis by Climate Power. climatepower.us/news/memo-ri...

Anything good that came out of Congress in the last thirty years that I have been around, had Nancy Pelosiโ€™s leadership behind it. Roll up Lebron James, Steph Curry and Micheal Jordan together and youโ€™d have one Nancy.

7 election takeaways โ€” from Trump the foil to post-cancellation politics Heading into 2026, Democrats showed signs of rebuilding and shoring up their battled coalition.

Overwhelming majorities support our clean, affordable energy policies. In New Jersey the R attacked on electrical prices and got clobbered.

In an Upset, Democrats Oust Two Republicans on Georgiaโ€™s Utility Board

Clean sweep for clean, renewable, affordable energy last night across the country. It was a referendum on clean energy in the Georgia utilities commission races. Trumpโ€™s electricity raising, climate denying craziness was solidly rejected. Clean energy is a winner! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/u...

Huge wins for clean energy in Virginia and New Jersey tonight. The Trumpists attacked on electrical costs - and got clobbered. People didnโ€™t like Trumpโ€™s braindead effort to take away clean, affordable energy. This ends any talk of retreat on clean energy.

How climate change is fueling Hurricane Melissa's ferocity The warming of the world's oceans caused by climate change helped double Hurricane Melissa's wind speed in less than 24 hours over the weekend, climate scientists said Monday.

Donโ€™t look at the wreckage in Jamaica without thinking of the wreckage to our clean energy efforts caused by Trumpโ€™s hatred of wind and solar energy. More fossil fuel pollution means more intense hurricanes. www.pbs.org/newshour/sci...

The advances in the use of evs worldwide should be sign of solid hope. If China can achieve 50% new sales, there is no reason America cannot amp up its efforts - except that Trump is trying to keep Americans shackled to his croniesโ€™s gas pumps.

RFK issues a report on childrenโ€™s health and never makes a reference to the number one cause of childrenโ€™s death -gun violence. That kind of ideological willful blindness is what results in such carnage.

UW researcherโ€™s โ€˜groundbreakingโ€™ findings challenge assumptions about a keystone ocean species New research suggests that a tiny phytoplankton that is an essential part of the marine food web may decline sharply as oceans warm.

Not to diminish other matters of concern, but Trumpโ€™s attack on clean energy jeopardizes the ocean species that produces half the worldโ€™s oxygen and is the base of the food chain. What could go wrong? Warming seas threaten key phytoplankton species.

As Canada wildfires choke US with smoke, Republicans demand action. But not on climate change Republican lawmakers are blaming Canada for not preventing and containing wildfires, whose smoke has fouled the air in several states this year.

Republicans are not exactly helping Smokey the Bear when they complain about forest fires but then deny the climate change that is turning our forests into dry tinder. A bit like complaining about cancer, but then promoting tobacco.
