Trump administration: Golden-based NREL is “renewable” lab no longer — at least in name
The words “renewable” and “energy” are dropped from the name of the applied-research lab that's been in Colorado for more than 50 years.

The Trump administration’s shutdown layoffs arrive at DOE today under a cloud of uncertainty. As of Saturday, “no one [had] actually been RIF’d,” said one current employee. “OMB and the agency are using purposefully vague language to scare and confuse people.”

Fucking hell. Hadn’t seen this yesterday and now an emergency meeting to address this story on the books. Expected but more than 1/3 of the layoffs anticipated to be at NREL is a gut punch. Feeling for my colleagues.

The big ugly bill also axed basically anything to do with solar, wind, hydrogen, renewable energy, reports someone I know at NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory). It's all part of the same agenda. 😭

A lot of people bought these cars (not the cyber trucks) before they knew what a “dick” Elon was. I don’t fault them for doing something good for the environment. I wish the other EV manufacturers could get the word out about their products (Rivian, etc)

Not everyone who drives a Tesla is a bad person. We bought our Tesla in 2019 before Elon showed his craziness. I wouldn't buy another one. I have a car that doesn't cost me much to run, and I can't sell it and commit to car payments. I love my Model 3. I have ordered the necessary bumper sticker!

Trump and DOGE accused federal civil servants of fraud (with no evidence).
Meanwhile, they're halting enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law, dropping criminal charges against Eric Adams, and pardoning a former governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat.
