The historically volatile Texas grid was entirely stable this summer, despite extreme temperatures. Grid operators never once had to ask Texans to conserve energy or shut off their air conditioners.

Why? Solar & batteries. Want a stable grid? Try solar & batteries.

Solar and batteries had a record-setting, grid-stabilizing summer in…

Solar has set 17 power generation records in Texas so far this year, shoring up the grid alongside batteries as some gas plant developers step back.

Worldwide solar and wind power generation has outpaced electricity demand this year, and for the first time on record, renewable energies combined generated more power than coal, according to a new analysis.

Renewable energy exceeds global coal power generation for the first time ever, analysis finds

Energy think tank Ember says a slight drop in global fossil fuel power marks "a turning point," as the U.S. and Europe lag behind by China and India in investment.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Prof. Tilley is willing to look Extortionist-in-Chief squarely in the eye and call out Admin’s/Heritage FDN’s goal of shredding core mission of our Universities. Time for Trustees to expose this calculated, long-planned abuse of corrosive power against the American Public. @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

Quote from NU History Professor Helen Tilley: “If (trustees) don’t understand core mission of a University includes academic freedom, if (they’re) willing to sign away academic freedom in exchange to keep money flowing, (they) are already signing away integrity of the University.”

Utter arrogance of an AG who willingly transformed Dept of Justice, tasked to “ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all American,” is UnAmerican. Continue to bring her to the Committee to publicly expose her contempt for our Constitution. @whitehouse.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com

One of the (many) legal gaps that needs to be filled after this nightmare is over is to prohibit federal law enforcement agencies from using federal funds to create propaganda videos with anyone in custody. This is all about spectacle and content creation, remove the incentive and the means

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
