I have a number of comments about that very thing in the current episode of @transitionshow.bsky.social (Ep. 259) and the one that follows (launching this Wednesday)

Excellent work! Great to have this hard-to-find data all nicely aggregated in one place.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as β€œState Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

I'm not in the US right now, so just curious: Did any of the major US news networks report on the ICE raid in Chicago at all? Anyone report that they dragged screaming, naked children out of their homes and into the street in handcuffs? And held US citizens in zipties for hours, with no warrants?

Look at this massive parking lot in China, all covered in solar and equipped with EV chargers. Utterly dwarfing anything like it in the US, AFAIK. english.news.cn/20250918/85a...

Yes they do. Which is why America should be transitioning to the cheapest sources of energy around--wind and solar--just as the rest of the world is.

This administration, on the other hand, wants to keep America hooked on the *most expensive* sources of energy: oil, gas, and nuclear.

[Episode #259] – 10th Anniversary: New Marching Orders | The Energy Transition Show For our 10th anniversary, we reflect on what the past decade of our work has been about and consider what the next ten years might require.

Honored and excited to be on the 10th anniversary podcast of the Energy Transition Show with @chrisnelder.bsky.social to talk electrotech with @kingsmillbond.bsky.social.

By far my favorite podcast I've done!

We are throwing the climate under the bus because a handful of tech billionaires are gamblers, betting that they’re not going to be the ones holding the bag when this bubble pops.

Tales of woe from Climate Week got you down? Join us in this deep look at an "electrotech revolution" outside the US that is reshaping geopolitics. There is MUCH to be optimistic about!

I can’t think of a better way to kick off our next decade of work than a conversation with these guys. This is meaty stuff. Strap on a napkin and dive in!

Trump’s Ouster of Jimmy Kimmel Is Much Worse Than You Think It Is Anna Gomez, the FCC’s lone Democratic commissioner, tells TNR that chairman Brendan Carr’s move violates both the First Amendment and the Communications Act. Democrats must extract consequences.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

Last June, in Ep. 226, @oboylemm.bsky.social and I raised a red flag about Big Tech throwing the climate under the bus in their rush to procure power for their AI data centers. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

They denied it then. They're not denying it anymore. bsky.app/profile/davi...

[Episode #237] – Why Nuclear? | The Energy Transition Show What are the specific industrial sectors and processes that produce greenhouse gas emissions, and how can we decarbonize them?

As I put it in @transitionshow.bsky.social Ep. 237, the only reason nuclear power plants *ever* get built is because a government wants them. And the reason they want them is *never* because they think it’s the best way to generate power. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...
