California, help protect democracy and return your ballots today!

Using the power of the federal government to have a vocal critic of yours removed from the airwaves is a pretty textbook definition of fascism.
Further proof conservatives were always full of shit about cancel culture.
New, from me:
America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism.
This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are.

While some would argue that clean energy is an issue for one side of the political aisle, the truth is this: It's the most economically viable issue, and that makes it a huge winner for every state - from California to Florida. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/02/h...
good.
It’s simple: If Republicans cut clean energy investments, your electricity bills are going up.
Hey, while you weren't looking, Virginia passed a law to enable virtual power plants in the state! V. cool.

Understand that when they talk about Americans working in textile factories and assembling iPhones, they are not envisioning their own children in those jobs. They are envisioning a class of people over which they and their children will have more power, with less irksome pushback.

I'm so excited to have my friend Harrison Wallace join the Counterspark board. If you know him, you know Harrison has long been a leader in the climate and clean energy movement. I know he'll be a tremendous asset as we work to scale Counterspark's impact.
The U.S. is set to shatter grid battery records this year.

I actually think the worst thing we can do right now is look at people who are realizing they were wrong or made a mistake and shame them. We're in a political moment that requires us to help people come along or we'll be stuck in an increasingly divided country in perpetuity.
