Here’s hoping 2026 brings calmer, more evidence-based energy policymaking.

This nightmare will not end with a peaceful transfer of power. It will only end with a criminal docket to include Republicans from all three branches of government, and the incarceration of at least (bare minimum) 500 republican officials. Anything else and the fascism will continue unabated.
