After tweaking the STRIDE Act last year, advocates this year are pushing to repeal the law that encouraged utilities to update aging and unsafe natural gas pipelines by letting them recover costs in advance — causing needless work and costs, critics say.

Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.
Per The Economist/YouGov, half of Americans support ABOLISHING ICE.
Literally, "abolishing."

Trump's war is bad because people are dead who would be alive today if Trump had not chosen to start a war.
Oppose war for whatever reason you want, but for me, it's the killing, the destruction, the ruination of lives on a massive scale
That's why I oppose Trump's war
"The Peace President."
My thoughts on Fox News Sunday after the first 24 hours of war with Iran: This is a war of choice. We all want a free and democratic Iran. But overthrowing authoritarian leaders with force has not historically led to democratic, pro-U.S. governments rising in their place.

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up."

Good morning with good news: Solar, wind & batteries will be 93% of US record-high new utility-scale capacity additions in 2026!
Gas additions of 6.3 GW will be less than 6.4 GW of gas & coal retirements!
Solar adds will be ~50 GW, with small solar included.

India is building a new power plant's worth of solar panels every two weeks
The Keys to Spain's economic boom are:
1) Allowing lots of people to immigrate and become citizens and
2) Building a lot of clean energy.
Someone should tell Congress

Making buses free can increase ridership by 30% and pay for itself by reducing other state costs.

Pretty much the most important thing happening in the world right now.

California seems to be building a massive amount of renewable energy and storage while not building a massive volume of new data centres.
That seems to be having the effect of actual drops in greenhouse gas emissions, particularly as batteries cut deep into gas
Texas operates the most competitive and freest generation market in the USA!
What is that market doing?
Wind, solar & storage dominate new generation, despite the big TX fund to subsidize gas plants (gas socialism) & no state RPS.
Why?
They're cheaper!

Stop ICE Alerts
Community alert tools for reporting ICE sightings. People share real-time information so others can stay informed, avoid surprise encounters, and support each other during ICE activity.
The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..”

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today
Cannot see the end of it.
They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.
It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
Minneapolis. Tens of thousands fill the streets in frigid sub zero temperatures in a General Strike to protest ICE.
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars
It was so great to be on the Maryland Energy Talk podcast with @jamiedemarco.bsky.social and @ruthannnorton.bsky.social, talking about how Maryland is taking the lead in upgrading people's homes to clean, efficient, and affordable heat pumps!

Maryland is moving forward with one policy that will decarbonize nearly every building in Maryland: a Zero-Emission Heating Equipment Standard.
@sirnatony.bsky.social and @ruthannnorton.bsky.social will tell you all about it in this episode of Maryland Energy Talk.
Coal generation falls in both China and India in 2025!
Coal down 3% in India.
Coal down 1.6% in China.
"The simultaneous fall in coal-powered electricity in the world’s biggest coal-consuming countries had not happened since 1973."
Wonderful!

Paramilitary forces reportedly on Venezuela's streets, as the US State Dept tells Americans to leave the country.
Not regime change, not democratization, not a US-friendly coup, not even successful resource theft. Regime decapitation with no follow-on plan, creating instability and nothing else.
