Good morning with good news: The Top 12 wind power states have low rates. All 12 have power prices below the US average price of 13.18 cents/kWh (EIA's May 2025 YTD).

Wind % 2024 Cents/kWh

If you sit close enough, there are cards on every seat saying basically if you do or say anything disrespectful, you’ll be kicked off the premises.

The Mystics games I’ve been to, they are pretty strict about what you can bring in. Maybe it’s different at each venue?

Seems like the Administration only cares about FEOC for technologies they don't like. Seems like maybe it's not about energy security, actually?

Was fascinated to read @volts.wtf interview with @jakehigdon.com and Isabel Munilla, saying "there's a certain part of natural gas drill bits that we only get from China. China has like 99% of the supply chain for this particular kind of drill bit."

Interior Order Chokes Off Permits for Solar and Wind on Federal Lands The department creates a seemingly impossible new permitting criteria for renewable energy.

HUGE: The Trump administration will no longer permit any solar or wind projects on federal lands unless they produce more energy-per-acre than coal, gas or nuclear power plants.

Solar and wind literally produce less energy per acre, so simply this may just kill off any project on federal lands.

Good morning with good news: Renewables will be world's top electricity source (36%) by 2026 & possibly by 2025!

Coal falls to its lowest global share (32%) in 100 years by 2026.

Wind & solar skyrocket from 4% in 2015 to 17% in 2025 & 20% in 2026!

Traditionally, most pro-nuke folks HAVE been anti-solar, wind and BESS. So someone who doesn’t know your history might make that leap, right?

Life-cycle-analysis-wise, solar and wind both have far lower associated carbon emissions than nuclear.

I don’t think that’s the reality in 2025. We’ll see.

Internal Agency Memo Calls for Political Reviews of Solar, Wind Projects The widely circulating document lists more than 68 activities newly subject to upper-level review.

Huge: An internal Interior Department memo that I’ve reviewed shows the agency may soon subject *any* activities related to wind and solar to heightened levels of political review.

It threatens to delay renewables projects across the country, including those not on federal lands.

Mystics win and are back to .500 at 10-10.

They're 7th in the WNBA, ahead of the Indiana Fever and the Las Vegas Aces.
