"Even as costs rise, the federal government is offering states less money to help low-income residents pay for heat."

Banning cheaper clean energy, raising energy costs, and cutting assistance to those who struggle to afford basic heating in the winter.

Now that's a real A+++++ economy!

Mega heat pumps are coming. It’s great to see that so many projects are now underway around the world.

There’s a real competition on who builds the biggest heat pump.

Technology has come a long way and keeps getting better.

HOT OFF THE PRESS: My latest piece on Germany’s energy transition & the heating law.

It already offers a solid path to phase out fossil heating.

What we need: stable funding, better local planning & skilled workers. Cutting complexity instead of endless political debate.

Those tree hugging hippies in Hungary now lead the world in the share of electricity generated from solar with almost 25% of their electricity coming from solar in 2024.

A remarkable leap from just 7% five years ago.

"These environmental rollbacks will only make our wealthiest polluters richer and our riverfront communities sicker."

@repnellie.bsky.social was clear: the PERMIT Act undermines critical clean water protections that keep communities safe, all to benefit Big Polluters.

A fair trade off: extreme weather, species extinction, loss of habitable land, and more disease in exchange for bringing back the Woody. Hooray.

Across the country, electricity costs are rising with no sign of slowing down.

One of the main culprits: data centers.

As big tech continues to build data centers around the country, the electricity demands are spiking our rates.

This practice of socializing costs & privatizing profits must end.

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.

The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.
The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity.

They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.
