There are real people on the end of these grants. Rust belt autoworkers. Great Plains farmers and roughnecks. Coal communities looking to a new economic future.

It’s genuinely heartbreaking. They don’t have do this — the money is already obligated — but I guess they enjoy destroying lives.

Having "explosive levels of methane" in your drinking water is not good.

Thanks @lcharkoudian.bsky.social!

Lawmakers urge PJM to take steps so clean energy projects can meet tax credit deadlines “Either we have a resource adequacy issue or we don't — and I believe we do — so we need to be getting all of this energy online as quickly as possible,” Maryland Delegate Lorig Charkoudian said.

State legislators r recommending good stuff! Better coord btw PJM & the states will speed up projects. 👏

Also hurray for Del. Charkoudian, MD-20. She calls out PJM to fulfill their duty (or what good r they).

P.S. The house I grew up in is in her district. 👏

This song runs in my head.

The tragedy stays in my mind. I was 11. 💔

Amazing stuff.

Residential rooftop and residential batteries r not included here, if I understand correctly. How big r they in CA?

It's astonishing how wide the battery curve has gotten in California.

Last Tuesday, batteries consistently supplied more than 20% of demand for 4 hours from 6pm to 10pm.

Price signals are working well.

And here’s the thing, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing, cutting back on beef has the biggest climate benefit in your diet if you are in North America / Europe

Here’s why one industry is worried about Trump’s latest climate rollback The Environmental Protection Agency announced Tuesday that it would rewrite a Biden-era rule aimed at limiting hydrofluorocarbons, a potent greenhouse gas.

Trump administration wants to roll back regulations on HFCs (very potent greenhouse gases) OVER THE OBJECTIONS OF THE APPLIANCE INDUSTRY.

This is so cool!

The US wine industry today employs more people than coal did at its peak a century ago

Get a heat pump, get a job installing insulation or selling EVs, go to local council meetings in support of bike lanes or solar parks or dense housing near public transport. Run for political office, or at least vote. Recommend flight-free holiday destinations to others. (Delete as applicable).

ok but get a heat pump, it’s not that deep

I just now learned that at least three people were killed, and a dangerous hazmat situation is underway in central Arizona, where flash flooding tore through the towns of Globe and Miami over the past few days.

I guess if we don't talk about our climate crisis there is no climate crisis.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Hang in there. I’m just getting back on my bike after a couple years not riding (knee injury, replacement, and recovery).

The new contest in the roads near me are kids & teens on too-powerful e-bikes. 😒

Batteries make wind & solar dispatchable.

They also boost the share of a grid's total electricity that W&S can provide.

@davidosmond.bsky.social shows 5-hour batteries can enable ~98% W&S in Australia's main grid.

@wang-seaver.bsky.social dismisses 100% RE grids, but how
about 98%? #energysky

Love this shit #renewableenergy #samuelljackson #energysky

I now want a laser weeder.

Not your responsibility @luckytran.com, but this graphic is bad. 😞 #chartcrime
