🔎 We continue to track the Clean Economy and we've noticed an acceleration...in the wrong direction. October saw 9 #cleanenergy projects abandoned, closed, or downsized.

I think it’s 💯 the right move.

Cam Little CRUSHED that ball holy shit

Also, the IRA had tons of highway-related projects! The idea that it was some sort of Trojan horse Green New Deal — which itself was full of kitchen-table-style jobs programs — is false and a creation of right-wing propaganda that lots of centrists either fell for or were totally willing to parrot.

The phrase "Trump administration plan to build dozens of new nuclear plants" should solicit hearty laughter from anyone familiar with the history of the nuclear industry, the fate of most recent nuclear plants, the honesty & competence of the Trump administration, or the meanings of words.

A House of Dynamite has already aged like milk – for one key reason Kathryn Bigelow’s new Netflix film seems, at first, to be a chillingly plausible tale of a hypothetical nuclear attack. But in making one key departure from our reality, it ends up becoming an absurd ...

House of Dynamite on Netflix was fantastic. On the edge of my seat every second. You should watch it if you haven’t already.

But if you’ve seen it, this is obviously the most glaring ‘problem’ with the movie.

The NFL games in London will continue until morale improves

Puerto Rico and DC—both part of the US, of course—collectively have more than 4 times the population of South Dakota, which Thune represents.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Blade’s air mobility activation will be one of the largest multi-day civilian helicopter movements in U.S. history | Joby Blade announced its role as the Official Air Mobility Partner of the 2025 Ryder Cup, taking place September 25–28, 2025, at the iconic Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, NY.

Whoever authorized 1000 helicopters flying low over Brooklyn today needs to find a new job.

Wtf. @chiosse.bsky.social @nyc.streetsblog.org

The Epstein estate also turned over another letter from the book that references Trump. It came from businessman and longtime Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow, who made a crude joke about a woman that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s, according to people familiar with the matter. The Pashcow letter included a photo of a posterboard-sized check for $22,500, which had been mocked up to appear that it was sent from Trump to Epstein. Beneath it, a handwritten caption said: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500.” The woman’s name is redacted in the image.

This detail from the WSJ’s new Trump-Epstein reporting also seems pretty bad www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

They were definitely booing in some capacity and YouTube cut the stadium audio when it became audible

Amory Lovins nails it in Utility Dive!

It's absolutely ridiculous to believe new nuclear reactors will meet the energy needs of AI data centers.

☀️ + microgrids are the way. #EnergySky

Fulton from Franklin to Kingston is an absolute mess with double parked cars and lack of traffic enforcement. The bus cameras ain’t enough. That section of Atlantic is also a bottleneck because of lack of traffic enforcement.

Maria Bartiromo thinks we're making a big mistake by thinking the wind will blow and the sun will shine in the future.

Was struck by this passage in the Travis Kelce GQ profile as a #Browns fan.

And then bludgeoned over the head when reminded of the coin flip CB pick we made that same round.

the Guardians just swept New York and now i know how @nycsanitation.bsky.social feels.

This is brilliant.

Ooh I love love this idea. 💡 @chiosse.bsky.social

Amazing 👏 @justinmbibb.bsky.social

Yeah. It’s solid and a great spot to hit after the beach.

People’s beach ✊ ftw

That seafood place right before the Toys R Us has an awesome deck on the water. Stop there all time.

Will Congress pull the plug on Ohio's clean energy momentum? Thousands of jobs and over $7 billion in investments are on the line as lawmakers debate the future of the Inflation Reduction Act's tax credits.

If U.S. Senate bill taxing renewable energy passes, #Ohio gets hit big.

Besides killing wind and solar, 91,000 jobs could be lost in ripple effect. @kmkowalski.bsky.social @canarymedia.com: bit.ly/4nt1NfY

The US is failing its green tech ‘Sputnik moment’ [FREE TO READ] Prejudice and protectionism are dismantling Joe Biden’s environmental legacy

My Trade Secrets today. Imagine the US in 1957 had seen the Sputnik satellite overhead & said "Nah, we'll leave space to the Soviets".

Thanks to climate change denial, mindless prejudice and trade protectionism, that's just what it's doing now with China & green tech, esp EVs and batteries. 1/2

Trump's $4 Trillion Plan to Raise Your Energy Bills The Trump administration wants to spend trillions to promote the most expensive power there is: nuclear.

Trump’s energy policies will sharply raise Americans’ energy bills, boost inflation, undermine U.S. competitiveness in the fast-growing clean energy sector, and severely increase the risk of nuclear accidents.

Commentary ⤵️

NYC WAS chaotic for a few years (2020-2023) but it was because the NYPD stopped enforcing anything. No one talks about this… but they didn’t enforce traffic laws for 3 years!!! 5,000 illegal pot shops opened up because no one did any thing. There was no law…
