They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Today on Volts: every year, the think tank @ember-energy.org does a comprehensive Global Electricity Review, with data on who's generating power, with what technologies, and how that's changing over time. I discuss the "megatrends" -- booming solar, rising demand, &, uh, China -- with the authors.

So well done @booker.senate.gov . What we want to know now is….who’s next!? @schiff.senate.gov? @warren.senate.gov ? @markey.senate.gov ? @murphy.senate.gov? It doesn’t need to be 25 hours long. But it should be every week. Pick a weekly top— I suggest taking the #project2025 chapters in order

Understand that when they talk about Americans working in textile factories and assembling iPhones, they are not envisioning their own children in those jobs. They are envisioning a class of people over which they and their children will have more power, with less irksome pushback.
