As a guy who spent over a year negotiating / cajoling / fighting with MA utilities to create standard interconnection rules for non-utility power - this is a really big deal. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...
This article tells the story of what researchers have been going through over the past 14 months. As funding dries up, professors struggle to keep people employed and to keep doing the work.
The Trump Administration is destroying so much science in this country.

It's mostly US-focused, but @roryjohnston.bsky.social in this excellent interview points out that demand destruction will be more prevalent in countries that simply cannot afford to get the stuff. Look at Pakistan after 2022 after LNG shipments re-routed to Europe. And RES is cheaper now.
So bizarre.
Yesterday, Energy Secretary Wright said that I was wrong "on both counts" when I said that the WH had no plan going into the war with Iran and it's not surprising they also failed to account for the SPR. Then he lied about oil ships being escorted through Hormuz. I stand by my initial observation.
Cannot WAIT for the Noem propaganda videos that play on a loop at airports to stop. Truly the worst.
Excited to share my newly published article with Olivia Quinn in Climatic Change, which explains why the Inflation Reduction Act passed Congress when the Waxman-Markey bill failed.
It's open access so anyone can read it!

Congrats on the new pod! Excited to listen.
When ICE agents began to terrorize Minnesota, climate groups helped lead the resistance.

A couple of days ago, I joined @slate.com's Decoder Ring to discuss Coalie and the broader politics of energy messaging. What looks like simple branding opens up bigger questions about public institutions, industry narratives, and climate politics. Take a listen. slate.com/podcasts/dec...
Today I talked with @crooked.com about what EPA endangerment finding repeal means for the climate. You can listen to the podcast here.

Once again: the Trump administration isn't opposed to clean energy. They're opposed to cheap energy. Because it threatens the livelihood of their mediocre friends who can't compete against cheaper sources. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/c...
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
BIG SCOOP @heatmap.news: The Trump administration is now going after renewable energy projects on both public and private lands by indefinitely delaying water permits … on grounds that the projects might have bad “aesthetics”
Yes, they’re hurting renewable energy projects by calling them ugly
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
Wrenching reporting on Minneapolis. This is a fascist government attacking its own people.

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.
Thanks Kevin for RT!

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.
Big, big news! This is probably the coolest of the many jobs I have shared here!

This. Will. Go. Fast.
The EPA is no longer going to consider how many potential lives a pollution regulation would save -- just the costs to industry. This is directly counter to EPA's mission. And it will kill Americans.
Great (depressing) scoop from @maxinejoselow.bsky.social.

Given news that ICE shot and killed an observer in Minneapolis, here is a pattern we've seen before:
*DHS say officers were under threat. This justifies to use deadly force.
*Subsequent reporting shows such claims simply don't hold up.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.
www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.
In competitive authoritarian regimes, the government deters and undermines opposition by using its powers to inflict costs on those who challenge it rather than recognizing their legitimacy as democratic opponents
