i am happy the world won’t end in a nuclear holocaust tonight
Now the fossil guys are going after Bay Area air regulations too. This AI astroturf is going to be a huge problem if these guys don't get the hammer dropped on them pretty fast. Tailor-made for a @robbonta.bsky.social investigation.

Rising energy prices aren't inevitable. The Trump administration owns the increases in your electric bill.
multiple trump-created crises converging with deadly results.

The NYT is always gonna both-sides a story
I’d give my left arm for two tacos rn
Trump is raising American’s electrical costs by his corrupt war on clean energy, but we can fight back with state action. Here’s how; www.theargumentmag.com/p/trump-is-r...
I do think it is kind of funny that Elon Musk's pitch for his new political party is "I have spectacularly bad judgment!"
Trump came into office promising to cut Americans' energy bills in half. Instead, his big bill will INCREASE energy bills $400/year.

Today, the President will sign the OBBBA into law, repealing and and modifying many clean energy tax credits. Last night we finished updating our analysis of OBBBA at the state-level to see what this bill means for Americans. The results are ugly.

21 House Republicans signed a letter supporting clean energy in their districts.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is keeping them honest: "What are those 21 Republicans going to do when the time comes to vote for this Big Ugly Bill" that guts clean energy jobs?
Tell your reps to #VoteNo TODAY.
this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

Senate Republicans continue to consider a reconciliation bill that will cut off booming clean energy investment in the U.S.—killing jobs and raising costs on families just as oil prices and electricity demand skyrocket. A thread of just some recent stories on what their bill means for Americans: 🧵
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.
worth reading the memo. it doesnt say that baseload power is a fallacy. the fallacy is in claiming only certain baseload techs need to be incentivized/build for grid growth.

“Repealing [clean energy tax] credits could increase the average family’s energy bill by as much as $400 per year within a decade, according to several studies published this year.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/c...
This week is ass.
Absolute garbage energy policy
Fast-growing zero-emission tech industries supplied 95% of new US grid generation capacity last year
Now despite booming energy demand, and new jobs in US manufacturing, the House GOP wants to burn it all down
For what? Oil/gas campaign cash
Also they clearly don't think they're losing the Senate anytime soon
So wild. Oil money and its sway within the GOP. My goodness. Hard to overstate.
Today I learned that Rep Jason Smith's voice is annoying af
New @rhg.com analysis of House GOP plan to kill energy tax credits shows it "will raise energy costs for American households by as much as 7% in 2035, stifle energy technology innovation, increase pollution, and could put significant investment at risk."

Today, House Republicans are unveiling their plan to increase energy bills and pollution for everyday Americans, just to give billionaires another tax break. A summary of their proposals. THREAD! 🧵
The House Republican's budget bill is starting to drop. It extends trillions in tax cuts for the wealthy while effectively crippling US manufacturing & energy industries and raising energy costs. It's effectively full repeal of the IRA. Here's tax portion waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/u... 🔌💡
