if a consumer carbon tax can't survive in canada, where the center left party is hegemonic, where super majorities of the population think climate change is real and a problem, can it survive anywhere? heatmap.news/economy/cana...

Yes, I'm a climate reporter. But the story of how the Trump admin's moves are threatening science & research is bigger than climate. So I spoke w/economists, physicists, sociologists, computer scientists, health scientists, and climate researchers for this piece: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

This is basically what I say in my book. Without road pricing/congestion pricing, the lower costs of charging and running EVs will lead to a lot more driving

So I’m now writing a running series on the Moss Landing battery fire for @heatmap.news. My first story asks a crucial question: Is this an East Palestine moment for the energy transition? Few environmental stories as important as this right now (sans climate ofc). heatmap.news/plus/the-fig...

This is a fantastic episode of @heatmap.news that speaks directly to the local politics of climate assets and that everyone in the Uk (the land where NIMBYsm was first conceived) should listen to.

tesla shares up 7.5% today, some of it is from the slower than expected inflation print (nvidia and meta are also ripping), but it's also, i think, evidence of the trump put in action heatmap.news/electric-veh...

what a shame. I always thought he was one of the most interesting stories of the blog period because he had no previous experience in media, someone who would never have been found otherwise.

Excellent run-down of the barriers to building new natural gas capacity in the US, and why turbine manufacturers don't seem interested in building up capacity any time soon.

the fixation in democratic circles on "podcasts" and "influencers" is absolutely deranged. harris (and biden) did a ton of podcasts/untraditional media — call her daddy, stern, smartless. it's easy to book podcasts, it's what you say (and what they say about you) that matters

i understand why people think chuck schumer tweeting about tomato prices is lame, but do we all just forget that until yesterday the consensus left, right, and center was that harris lost because of inflation and that no one cared when dems said trump was an authoritarian

“Mr. Trump’s administration, or at least his energy policy, is revealing itself as a set of closely managed tensions within his coalition and even, sometimes, within his own psyche.” For the NYT, I wrote about the guiding logic of Trump’s energy policy:

Anyone in climate world knows about these climate action skeptics — they accept the basic reality of climate change, but don't think the typical policy response is effective or worth it. Now one of them — a fracker, no less —will likely be the Secretary of Energy. heatmap.news/climate/chri...
