NEW RESEARCH: COP31 wants electricity at 35% of global energy by 2035. That’s not just a climate target. It’s the start of the biggest efficiency programme the world has ever attempted. Electrify and energy waste falls by 61%. doi.org/10.1038/s44406-026-0…

Replying to @tex__davis
the implication that earthjustice wields a comparable magnitude of political power to, say, duke energy is also just really awesome. these people do not go outside

These kinds of takes are so counterproductive and overall harmful to the climate movement. Even the climate groups that support BAAJA agree it’s an imperfect bill, and maybe that’s a red line for other groups like NRDC and Sierra Club. It’s rooted in merit.

A good bill leaves everybody unhappy. Lefties oppose BAAJA because it cuts off endless money/work for the serial litigant attorney class they're beholden to. Conservatives oppose BAAJA because it forces transmission competition against the corrupt utilities they're beholden to.

In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption. To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call. That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.

🚨🚨🚨This has to be a red line for Dems: pull support over any weakening of the provisions to better plan and permit regional/inter-regional transmission, to foster cost-saving competition, and to better oversee utilities' wasteful transmission spending.

SCOOP: House E&C Republicans led by Chair Brett Guthrie convened a meeting this morning with Energy Secretary Chris Wright where several members raised concerns about transmission provisions of BAAJA. They’re hoping for changes in Senate. Text subscribers got it first!

New study from @BloombergNEF shows that grid connected data centers are cleaner than fully off grid DCs, even at 1,000 hours (~11% of the year) running on backup diesel. assets.bbhub.io/professional…

Congrats to @NCGOP on becoming the encyclopedia example of a dummymander. I hope this will motivate you to spend less time suppressing voters and more time delivering for them!

Hindsight is 20/20: NC Republicans could have easily drawn a 9R-5D or even a 10R-4D map that would have withstood a blue tsunami (by drawing one more safe Dem seat in the Triad). Instead, by trying for a 11R-3D map, they're on track to end up in a 11D-3R hole.

Now Democrats are leading in both NC-03 and NC-05, by 255 votes and 196 votes, respectively. If the result holds, Democrats will hold an 11-3 advantage on North Carolina's map, a seven-seat upgrade from the current 10R-4D balance.

Public statement notwithstanding, I imagine EEI is still pushing to weaken the strong transmission components of BAAJA. Any should make their support contingent on that section either becoming stronger or not weakening one iota further, in addition to any other asks.

Nope. The correct take is that Chinese green industrial policy, and energy policy more generally, saved the world from an energy crisis, while helping most places go greener. The lesson is that planning and green investment work.

I think environmentalists should try to take seriously the fact that Donald Trump has implemented the most aggressive "supply-side" climate policy in a generation and everyone agrees it's economically destructive and politically unsustainable. nytimes.com/2026/11/09/clima…

It’s the first drop in planet-warming pollution since the pandemic in 2020. But researchers cautioned that the decline could be short-lived.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is the leading voice in the cabinet pushing to open America's public lands to AI data centers. Arthur Ventures, the investment firm Burgum co-founded, holds an estimated $18 million to $64 million in AI companies that depend on those same data centers.  Burgum agreed to step down from his roles at the firm when he joined the administration, but he kept his financial stake. A recent investigation found that he’s not alone. Hundreds of Trump appointees or their spouses have financial ties to tech giants betting big on AI. When this administration decides how to regulate data centers and whether to build them on our public lands, who comes out ahead? The American people, or the officials hoping to cash in? Either we will end this corruption, or it will be the end of us. propublica.org/article/burgu…
