Despite the warnings of Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and now Donald Trump, the evidence of an AI-driven energy crisis is ambiguous. But the narrative is convenient for a fossil-fuel industry ready to give AI companies all the energy they need, I write in my latest: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Hilarious to see Richard appear on Jacob Rees-Mogg's propaganda show on GB News, dispelling his right-wing nonsense about energy and heating. www.linkedin.com/posts/richar... Well done, Richard! And if you haven't listened to his appearance on @transitionshow.bsky.social yet, do!

Analysis by We Don't Have Time of Trump's climate blitzkreig finds that every major climate rollback so far aligns with Project 2025 (published a YEAR ago) and the next wave is going to be even worse. The media & Dems have been totally unprepared for this. app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/a6a9d9...

Super chuffed to have been interviewed for the @transitionshow.bsky.social on clean heating, heat pumps and policy. I think it's a really neat overview of the issues at play. Thanks for having me @chrisnelder.bsky.social!

Sad to see the media still not getting how to handle these clowns. Stop taking any of their BS seriously! Ridicule and satire are the best tools in the box right now. Refer to “President Musk” and mock their lame BS over names and plastic straws when the People have serious issues!

I've never been one to enjoy any sort of commercials. But check this climate change ad running today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYwP... It was made by the climate communications shop Potential Energy, whose work we featured in @transitionshow.bsky.social Ep. 228: xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

Remember when the GOP attacked Obama relentlessly, calling him a "dictator" and a "tyrant" for issuing a few totally lawful executive orders designed to fix problems? Those were some crazy times, weren't they? newrepublic.com/article/1203...

I'm not the first to say it, but @wired.com is running circles around all the rest of the useless & overpriced media in covering the damage President Musk & his buddy are doing to the US civil service. And you can subscribe & support them here for a lousy $5/year. www.wired.com/v2/offers/wi...

Behold the Putzes of the Putsch, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, offering toothless legislation that has no hope of passing, while President Musk irreparably demolishes one federal agency after another. History will judge alright: It will judge you to be feckless 🤡🤡

Other than being obviously flat-footed and not even mentioning Project 2025 as Trump executes it step by step, you know how you can tell that the media still aren't getting it? Because they continue to take his given "reasons" for his moves seriously. 1/

Hey looka that, somebody is finally putting it together. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Putting USAID "in the woodchipper" was just one of many to come. Treasury takeover on the weekend. NOAA now. No agency is safe. Project 2025 was published almost a year ago. The Dems & media are flatfooted.
