correction: the maroon 5 song was "this love" not "she will be loved." apologies for the error.

yesterday i was on the 4/5 and a guy was playing 2000s maroon 5 (she will be loved) followed by similarly-timed ja rule (put it on me). it was too funny to get mad about.

Why Is Thea Energy, the Fusion Company, in New Jersey? The birthplace of electricity has more recently been known more for smokestacks and traffic jams than world-changing energy breakthroughs. But that could be about to change.

Commercial electricity was in some sense more or less born in New Jersey, so, could fusion happen there too? heatmap.news/climate-tech...

In 1981 the New York Times said that San Francisco was becoming a "haven for the wealthy and childless." What's crazy is how much less true that was then than it is now.

As I write in my book, if you see urban growth as inherently bad, it makes sense to tax its supposed negative externalities

The thing is, if you go back 30-50 years, people just say that this is its expressly intended purpose.

damn that's crazy, what happened 50ish years ago in big cities governed by liberals?

The Wind Projects Breaking the Wyoming GOP It’s governor versus secretary of state, with the fate of the local clean energy industry hanging in the balance.

There's a wind energy war waging in Wyoming.

The Mystery of the Senate’s Clean Energy Carveout This has been driving me insane.

Exclusive: The Senate GOP reconciliation bill includes what clearly has to be a lobbyist giveaway to a specific renewable energy project that’ll let it avoid changes to the Inflation Reduction Act…

BUT ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHAT PROJECT IT IS AND I’M GOING MAD TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT 😤😰‼️

It’s Chris Wright’s Worldview. They’re Just Legislating It. The energy secretary's philosophy is all over the Senate mega-bill.

chris wright's intellectual fingerprints are all over the senate finance bill, which carves out wind and solar for a much faster sunset of tax credits, while preserving them for nuclear, geothermal and, surprisingly, batteries heatmap.news/politics/chr...

Trump Has an Electricity Price Problem Look more closely at today’s inflation figures and you’ll see it.

The inflation numbers this morning were everything the administration could have asked for...except for electricity prices, which are rising ~2x the rate of prices overall in the last year. And it's likely to get worse, with utilities across PJM hiking prices this month heatmap.news/economy/trum...

also while andrew cuomo was wheeling and dealing to keep the upstate nuclear plants open, he was working with robert f kennedy jr's (his ex brother in law) to shut down a plant closer to new york city heatmap.news/energy/meta-...

Also enviro groups supported the state subsidies for nuclear because they came with other benefits for renewables and because they supported paying for non-carbon attributes, but they were very cool to nuclear per se heatmap.news/energy/meta-...
