"I think it’s a fact that at least some of these big companies look for communities that are news deserts to build projects like these, because it’s easier for them when there’s less public scrutiny."

Heat pumps are a smarter way to keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer while using less energy.
Big comfort.
Less pollution.
Comfort shouldn’t cost the climate.
Heat Pump Week | April 11–19

Only naive people think sitting it out helped the Palestinians
This will never not be right to me.
Thank you @washingtonpost.com editorial board for showing us just who you are. AmazonCare anyone? "market-driven care will need to fill the gaps created by the inevitable failures of government..."
According to Stu Eisenstadt Kennedy was the most difficult Senator to work with
Everything Trump does enriches his small oligarch mafia & harms EVERYONE else
The US government paid $1 billion to kill a wind farm just because. Just absolute idiocy in every direction heatmap.news/energy/total...
A major Louisiana case against more than 90 oil companies never made it to trial. The judge who dismissed it? She had previously represented oil companies — including one of the defendants.
It is time to start making an example out of local officials who vote to effectively ban renewables, such as my county commissioners. Renewable manufacturers, integrators, developers, investors: Time to fund local action to vote people like this out of office. The louder and messier, the better.
Free market is only for things that kill us & need government subsidies to “create jobs”
We're in trouble and our current federal gov only promotes that which willl make it worse

I am not a lawyer, but am I reading correctly that the majority opinion cited the concern of “irreparable harm” to the coal industry (which employs ~40,000 people) with no mentions of the “irreparable harm” higher CO2 emissions could bring to the population of (at the time) ~7,500,000,000 people?
it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

Anyone banning renewables should be facing criminal charges of crimes against humanity and long prison sentences.
We are facing rapid extreme climate change already and we need to end fossil fuel use immediately.
If you are as infuriated as you read this as I am, know that Congress not only has the power to fix the abuse of the Shadow Docket but also that the legislation is already drafted. We just need to get it to the floor. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
Norway has much of its social safety net funded by a Sovereign Wealth Fund based on oil profits
🚨After months of fossil fuel industry lobbying, Republican lawmakers have introduced federal legislation that would give oil and gas companies immunity from any laws or lawsuits that aim to hold them accountable for their role in the climate crisis.
Time to get loud: 📣 NO IMMUNITY FOR BIG OIL 📣
Fair point on geography. Data on power plant workers is a mixed bag. Some studies show increased risk, some don’t.
The breakthrough institute critique is more flawed than the study it is critiquing. The drop off in incidence at greater distances from the plants is striking. Of course correlation isn’t causality but these findings justify further study & caution about expansion nuclear power
There is an increased risk living near coal plants
Zero threshold is hard to prove however. One of the trickiest things about the epidemiology of radiation induced malignancy is the time delay between the exposure that damages the DNA & the actual disease.
The drop off in relative risk of cancer in the study I’m referring to was pretty steep. Also involved multiple plants. Confounding variables are still possible. Correlation isn’t causation
You do know that I started my research career at RERF in Hiroshima?
The stochastic risk of ionizing radiation is linear with zero threshold. There is an actual documented increased incidence of cancer in people living in proximity to nuclear plants
Four Democrats voted with the GOP on reauthorizing a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens.
If you’re represented by Gluesenkamp Perez, Golden, Gottheimer, or Suozzi, ask them why they’re siding with the Trump regime on government surveillance.
One of the factors is exposure to carcinogens & burning fossil fuels actually releases carcinogens
Except for the fact that ionizing radiation damages DNA & is carcinogenic. Nuclear power actually is dangerous
