Your daily reminder: Texas has a higher installed capacity of wind, solar and storage than California because it's a bigger state. As a proportion of total power demand, Texas has lower total clean power supply, and higher emissions intensity than California. ketanjoshi.co/2024/08/12/t...

Mark Carney said “decarbonised Canadian oil and gas” must get to global markets, including Asia and Europe, after the emissions associated with its extraction were captured in Alberta." Could we also have 'dry water', please? And some 'cool heat'? on.ft.com/45cga1H

It's wild that Marc Andreessen wrote the manifesto for the Abundance agenda all the way back in 2020. One day some investigative reporter is going to write a book on how Abundance got seeded.

I always love link-checking these pieces calling for deregulation and slashing environmental laws. Here's one example: this line claims Sierra Club chapters partner up w/ "NIMBY" howeowners to actively oppose renewable energy projects. Must link to an example of that! Let's check :)

Let's be clear. What SOCTUS has done in this ruling weakening NEPA has made it nearly impossible to force agencies to consider the greenhouse gas emissions of the projects they permit. Perhaps we should think about that for a moment before we gloat over or justify this decision.

This is incredibly excellent — everyone, please watch and share widely! And I say that not at all because I consulted on the script with the brilliant showrunners haha 😂😇

My latest. The Supreme Court’s Latest Gift to Trump Will be ‘Disastrous’ for the Environment. The high court just weakened the National Environmental Policy Act, a win for Trump and Big Oil. One lawyer says it’s “the worst possible outcome.” @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is by far the best explanation of how Klein and Thompson have misdiagnosed some of the blockages to building clean energy, and it offers data-driven recommendations for how to revise the Abundance climate agenda to the good. Must read! 1/2

SCOTUS recently weakened the National Environmental Policy Act, a core goal of the Abundance Faction. So how much clean energy development will this ruling unleash — the nearly unlimited amount promised by Meyer, Jenkins, Klein, Thompson et al? It will be revealing to see what happens now.

if you set the distribution of harms from pollution (e.g. cancer and asthma rates) next to the distribution of benefits from economic cooperation (e.g. income/wealth gaps) then the narrative that environmentalism is for the rich is the thing we should find surprising!

Nuclear power plants generally cost 102.5% more on average to build than estimated. Hydrogen, CCS, and thermal power plants that rely on methane gas are also higher-risk infrastructure projects. Solar, by contrast, is often completed ahead of schedule and for less than expected.

This fascinating new research overturns longstanding assumptions. It finds that lower-income groups are more concerned about the environment and prefer environmental protection over economic growth, compared to higher-income groups. Data from the USA.

Guys we all know that doomerism sucks but also some days all of us will look at what's going on and conclude "omg we are so fucked." It's ok to feel that. On those days it is helpful to be motivated by something besides a conviction you will certainly succeed for when you are ready to act again.

Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and other 11 activists will set sail for Gaza on a ship in an effort to bring in aid and raise “international awareness” over the ongoing humanitarian crisis, the activists said. nbcnews.to/4dKYoVh

Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...

Mainstream journalism, especially broadcast journalism, is mostly entertainment, not teaching. That's what at least partly explains👇

Interesting study reported here: While the grasslands under these panels grew slower in average and wet years, the grass grew much better in dry years - suggesting the panels’ shade and precipitation concentrating effects helped the grass grow…

the plug for evangelical Christianity at the end is just next-level gaslighting. 10 out of 10 for rhetoric that blames you for dying (eternally) from policies that kill people. truly: no notes.

Someone brought this @greenprofgreen.bsky.social book to my attention, and, people, I'm telling you that I'm now VERY excited about it. Green seems to tackle a core barrier for decarbonization—stranded assets—in a frame that policymakers might actually understand. I can't wait to read it!

It is mind blowing how many Democratic policymakers (even really good ones!) still believe that increasing fossil-fuel production will lower domestic electricity prices. 🧵

“Fixing climate change is too expensive.” Um no. What’s really expensive is doing nothing. Climate disasters cost billions—and those costs are rising fast. Climate solutions save money and lives, as well as building a better world for us all 🌏💚
