The Trump administration wasted no time in tapping individuals with ties to fossil fuel industries and right-wing think tanks funded by oil tycoons for key environmental and energy policy positions, according to a new report.
New Report Examines Fossil Fuel Ties of Dozens of Trump Administration Hires - Inside Climate News
Public Citizen and the Revolving Door Project found 42 former fossil fuel industry employees among nominees and appointees to agencies charged with enforcing energy and environmental policy.

China shows what energy dominance might look like. Not only does China export more clean tech than US does fossil fuels, Chinese exports are (i) accelerating, and (ii) highly diversified across products & destinations.

This is a major warning sign for the US!

Why US Power Bills Are Surging
Americans are paying more for electricity—and rates will keep rising. But after a period of pain, rates should level off as the benefits of a shift away from fossil fuels begin to be felt.

Want to reduce electricity bills 20% by 2030?

Release the data! We have over 37GW of batteries, water heaters, etc that can participate in demand flexibilty. But without data access they can't bid into the PJM/MISO capacity auction to bring down costs.

Smart meters were all the rage in 2009 (aka Advanced Metering Infrastructure, AMI) and even then most of us knew they were unlikely to bring any real benefits for residential customers. Little did we know that Utilities using rickety Oracle and SAP systems would create a crisis. 🧵

You won’t regret the 17 minutes. Marc Hirsh calls it a master class in discussion vs debate. Also, we can choose what divides us. #BernieSanders says it’s NOT left v. right. “I got a billion and you got nothing. That’s America.” Watch @schumer.senate.gov on that point. @moreperfectunion.bsky.social
