Indeed, the Supreme Court majority built a whole “major questions” doctrine on phony cost claims — puffery that turned out completely false. After they blocked the Clean Power Plan, the power industry met its 2030 target *11 years early* and at *no cost.”

It’s worth noting that the Obama environmental policy that so frightened the chief justice into launching the “shadow docket” was actually so weak that the power sector ended up exceeding the clean energy targets even with the regulation on hold.

Can the Tesla Semi finally decarbonize trucking? After nearly a decade, Tesla's electric trucks are going into production. But challenges remain, especially for the grid.

Frequently asked questions about the missing Georgetown Metro station Following the 20th anniversary of Zachary Schrag’s The Great Society Subway: A History of the Washington Metro, and the 50th anniversary of the first Metrorail service, Schrag offers his best answers ...

For twenty years I've been asked about this. Here are my answers, for all to see. ggwash.org/view/102941/...

Opinion: We did the math — homeownership in the exurbs isn’t more affordable ‘With all the political debate around cost-of-living, policymakers need to tell the whole story about housing costs.’

Opinion: We did the math — homeownership in the exurbs isn’t more affordable ‘With all the political debate around cost-of-living, policymakers need to tell the whole story about housing costs.’

“The cost of housing is arguably the most important economic and environmental issue today in California and much of the US.” —Opinion by @ethanelkind.bsky.social, Director of the Climate Program at @cleeberkeley.bsky.social, via @mercurynews.com: https://bayareane.ws/4lZtsVq

My new op-ed: why new exurban housing is actually more expensive to own than comparable infill homes closer to jobs and services.

Wealthy Investors Are Targeting Foes of Clean Energy, and They Want Revenge

"You’ve got to have some fear that if you vote against the clean energy industry, you may pay a political price,” Clean Break Fund CEO Michael Brune told @lisafriedman.bsky.social and @bradplumer.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/c... 🔌💡

Some people would vote for Brown for a fifth time!

Tesla is shipping Semis!

Truckers say that once they drive one they won't go back. Less aches and pains, less noise, more control.

With 500 miles of range, these trucks can now offset 10% of Class 8 trucks on the road today, even with slow 350kW charging.

BART: The worst-case scenarios are actually worse than you’ve heard If voters spurn a November revenue measure, the biggest question isn't what stations BART may close. It's if BART will continue to exist, full-stop.

If voters spurn BART in November, you've read about some pretty awful worst-case scenarios.

Guess what? They're worse than you thought.

UCLA Study Shows How Ambiguous Definition of 'Major Transit Stop' Creates Wiggle Room for Municipalities - Streetsblog California This is a story of how well-intentioned efforts by the state to tie new development to transit hinge on how local governments (with their own incentives) interpret broad state law.

EVs Avoided the Use of 2.3M Barrels of Oil a Day in 2025 - TT Those fossil fuel savings are expected to increase every year for the rest of the decade as more drivers turn to battery-powered vehicles.

In case it wasn't clear why fossil fuel companies are trying to dismantle EV policies:

"Growing global adoption of electric vehicles helped avoid the consumption of 2.3 million barrels of oil per day last year, according to a modeled scenario from BloombergNEF."

With $200B, we could:
Spend $500M + 2 yrs to fix US rail delivery to match Spain.
At Spain's $35M/mi High Speed Rail cost, less ~$20B for SF transbay and major NEC infra, build 5,000 mi of rail:
Bos-DC: 500 mi
Sacto-SF-LA-SD: 600 mi
Van-PDX: 350 mi
Leaving 3,500 mi for presidential whim

I remember when California had a $100B budget surplus in 2022 and spent it on nothing of any lasting value.

The bullet train to … Gilroy California voted for high-speed rail to connect Los Angeles to San Francisco. That’s not what it looks like in the latest reports.

High speed rail is in triage, hoping for more favorable political conditions in future years. I spoke to @lareported.bsky.social about the revised plan.

The piece ignores the lack of federal $$ for rail compared to highways but details the new plan well:
