⚡️ 'Ukrainians made it through,' Zelensky says on toughest winter of Russia's invasion.
The winter of 2025-2026 has been described as Ukraine's toughest yet, as heavy Russian strikes on the energy system, combined with severe frosts, have pushed the country to the brink of a humanitarian crisis.
Data centers have destabilized the electric grid in Virginia.

Our NY climate law is NOT the main cause of inflation in energy prices: US exports of LNG play a far larger role. Read this and more in Susan Arbetter's write up of the Spectrum TV interview she recently did with me.

NEW! From the same clueless Republicans who brought you doubling premiums: $31,000 deductibles.
Only an out of touch billionaire would think that counts as affordable.
For G-d’s sake @schumer.senate.gov Trump and his bloodthirsty hooligans started an illegal war with Iran, killed little girls and put American troops in harm’s way-possibly to deflect from his involvement with Epstein
This moment demands ACTION and CONDEMNATION
Not a tepid letter of concern
“We Americans have begun another Middle Eastern war based on dubious intelligence claims, and as in 2003 I fear we haven’t thought through the substantial risks and uncertain gains,” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.
He's never hidden the strategy he thinks will work.

Life imitates art.
29 years ago, Wag the Dog told the story of a US president mired in sex scandal that threatened to undermine his presidency so he decided he needed to concoct a make-believe war to boost his support.
We need a ticker showing the cost to the American taxpayer every time a bomb is dropped, a jet takes flight, a warship moves etc
Seems to be plenty of cash for that, not for, you know, actual living.

👀 Hochul raises our bills by pushing gas! Her claims to attack the climate law are Trump math.
She’s:
1. ignoring savings implementing the law generates
2. exaggerating costs by assuming a high tax on polluters
3. after ignoring the law for years, pretending it mandates only her contrived scenario
@profbobhowarth.bsky.social on leaked NYSERDA memo:
“The reason natural gas prices are going up is that the U.S. is now the world’s largest exporter of gas as liquid natural gas (LNG)...A decade ago there was no exporting of LNG from the U.S.; It was illegal. Now we’re the biggest exporter...”
Trump campaigned against the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which he never read and would not have understood if he had. He then unleased Iran's nuclear program. The 'negotiators' he has sent, Witkoff and Kushner, have zero knowledge or concern about nonproliferation or human rights.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
Please listen to my interview this evening with Susan Arbetter on New York's efforts to reach our climate goals.

Governor Hochul likes to claim NY leads on climate and energy, but actually 22 other states produce more of their electric demand from renewables, some of them a lot more.
@governor.ny.gov @doreenharris.bsky.social
New US renewables record!
25.72% of U.S. grid+behind-the-meter electricity demand met solely by WindWaterSolar in 2025.
Increase from 23.90% in 2024 despite 2.1% growth in grid demand.
2 states met 101-124% of grid+BTM demand with WWS.
14 states met 50-124%.

Advanced energy technologies are affordability solutions. While states build needed energy supply, demand flexibility and scaling VPPs with all types of DERs can help us get so much more out of the existing grid quickly and affordably. @advancedenergyunited.org 💡🔌 www.canarymedia.com/articles/vir...

Especially if you live in Alaska or Maine, call Murkowski & Collins, because they're acting like "no" is possible. Tell them to stop dithering and Just Say No on Casey Means.
Murkowski: (202)-224-6665
Collins: (202) 224-2523

Despite significant federal headwinds, US renewables just had a record year.
Notably, 93% of new generation capacity expected to be added to the US grid this year is projected to come from wind, solar and batteries.
