The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

The incompetence is absolutely chilling. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Rollie Williams unpacks viral rant by Billy Bob Thornton on #Landman, an engaging show about oil in West Texas. The show is more textured than the clip. Both are worth a watch, especially for the true lifecycle impact of a wind turbine. @climatetown.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBC_...

EV expert Chelsea Sexton at #BNEFSummit: Automakers shifting from insisting on EV demand before building them to more traditional mode of making cars and convincing consumers to buy them. That’s how SUVs rolled out.

My friends and relatives who voted for Trump are not (always) racist. I learned from Ibram X. Kendi that people can be racist and anti-racist in the same day, same hour, same paragraph. We are complex and often contradictory creatures.

Listening to Luntz is hard and important. Shaming is easy.

The first electric minivan will change the way you think about EVs Trump wants to crack down on EVs, but the industry is stronger than ever.

The first minivan I've ever seen and said "I want one." I turn 61 this month so maybe that explains it. www.vox.com/technology/3...

Important win for Montana. California officials I've talked with are wary of adding similar language to the state constitution because of it possibly being weaponized and unintended consequences. Just look at CEQA.

Grid-scale batteries are coming soon for those gas peakers. CA and TX are leading the charge.

Covering Trump 2.0, now with less Trump "Every president claims a mandate and a decisive victory, but saying so doesn't make it so. Media coverage is crucial for determining the scope of that power."

Good to see two solid groups collaborating on busting myths about clean energy. I appreciate the citation of outlier studies that don't fit into neat and simple narrative. Lends cred. @sabincenter.bsky.social @skepticalscience.bsky.social

How will China impact the future of climate change? You might be surprised As a new Trump administration signals a retreat on climate action, China is stepping up. China is the biggest producer of climate technologies like electric vehicles and solar panels.

China? "They've set up a situation where it's good for them to sell clean energy technologies to the world. It's very good economically, & it's good reputationally, & it's good environmentally." They're going all out to capture the market as the globe goes carbon neutral. www.npr.org/2024/11/22/g...
