The anti-reg zealots have had quite a run. But whatever happens with endangerment will take years to unfold in the courts. In the meantime, as @gwagner.com stressed on #Sustainwhat today, heaps of actions (including TRUMP actions) align with expanded renewables. revkin.substack.com/p/gernot-wag...

Well put.
You can repeal an endangerment finding.

This is what great reporting looks like. Bravo, @us.theguardian.com. Here in downeast Maine we feel the tide turning against authoritarian, inhumane Trumpism. But @grahamformaine.bsky.social (or Janet Mills) will still need a lot of national financial support to defeat Susan Collins.
