Opinion | Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World.

The headline is the important part here but look at this:

"In 2000, China produced only one-third of the amount of electrical power that the United States did; by 2024, it produced nearly two and a half times U.S. levels."

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.

It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.

It must stop.

Kristi Noem must go. Now.

Opinion | This Is Why Your Energy Bills Are Going Up

@nytimes.com breaking it down in plain English!

Kneecapping the cheapest new form of energy during unprecedented load growth is terrible energy policy that everyone will pay for.

Independent Report Finds that the Trump Administration’s Orders to Keep Coal-fired Power Plants Running Could Cost Consumers between $3-6 Billion a Year Utility customers will pay the steep cost of the Department of Energy’s sham β€œemergency” orders to prevent coal-fired power plants from retiring as planned

So many bad decisions about energy coming out of DC that will affect everyone - the cost of keeping old fossil fuel plants open

Two Scientific Groups Say They’ll Keep Working on U.S. Climate Assessment The organizations said they planned to publish the assessment even after the Trump administration’s decision to dismiss all authors on the project.

We need this kind of work to continue regardless of political administrations. It’s too important. Maybe time for an independently funded foundation to help carry on this work.

Trump Administration Cuts Research Funding, Claiming It Creates β€˜Climate Anxiety’ The cuts to a Princeton University program come as the Trump administration has been reviewing an array of research grants related to global warming.

Teaching kids about climate change is not what causes climate anxiety.

*Not doing anything about climate change* is what causes climate anxiety.

Flip-flopping on tariffs = supply chain uncertainty, higher capex, slower deployment
Exactly the opposite of what we need

Want to power AI and industry?
We need a grid that’s fast, flexible, and built at scale.
That starts with policy stability, not volatility.

But tariffs throw sand in the gears:
β€’ 80%+ of solar inverters are imported (DOE)
β€’ 75% of battery materials = foreign sourced (IEA)

Tariff flip-flops are bad for business but worse for energy.

Here’s why:

The U.S. grid is facing a demand tsunami:
β€’ Data centers alone = 9% of U.S. electricity by 2030 (BCG)
β€’ EVs, electrified heat, & reindustrialization piling on
