The One Big "Beautiful" Bill will increase energy costs for American households and businesses, increase taxes on new electricity supplies at a time of rapid demand growth, and substantially increase U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. That sounds like a big bad bill to me... #OBBB
The House is voting to pass the One Big "Beautiful" Bill right now. Here's six key takeaways on what passage means for U.S. energy costs, investment in new electricity supplies, and greenhouse gas emissions. #OBBB
We are legion!
Here's my list of favorite 10 Jesses in energy on X (ranked by influence on clean energy innovation/policy): 1. @JesseJenkins - Princeton prof driving decarbonization models. 2. @ja_morris - Energy Web CEO advancing cleantech/digital solutions. 3. @JessePeltan - Visionary for…
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act has transformed US clean energy policy, gutting EV & solar/wind incentives. But it’s weirder than a straight repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act. Today at @heatmap_news, we have a new summary of the past 20 years of tax credits — in one table
Confused by all of changes to federal energy law after the OBBBA? We have a handy-dandy cheat sheet that breaks it all down for you, courtesy of @ShaneLondagin, Luke Bassett, @azevin, and researchers at @JesseJenkins’ REPEAT Project. heatmap.news/politics/obbba…
It’s true that fossil fuels have enabled an insane level of development, but we now have better options. These options need less destructive mining, reduce air pollution, and mitigate climate change. It’s just human progress.
.@SecretaryWright tells it like it is: Climate change is a by-product of human progress—not an existential threat. We do not apologize for American energy; it is the foundation of EVERYTHING! economist.com/by-invitation/…
The discourse surrounding precipitation changes in a warming climate (both public discussion and even scientific one at times) is complicated by widespread conflation of changes in averages vs extremes (and also actual vs *potential* evaporation/evaporative demand). [Thread]
This isn't how you do "American energy dominance." This is loser stuff. 🤡
SCOOP: Trump taking new steps to block wind and solar projects, undisclosed memo says. Interior Sec Doug Burgum will have to sign off on any permits on federal lands. Stems from recent EO targeting tax credit phaseouts in megabill. w @zcolman subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025/0…
This is just bad policy. Want the US to remain a technological leader and generate new innovations that improve public health, create new industries, reduce consumer costs and more? Then you FUND SCIENCE & RESEARCH. Trump and the GOP want to do the opposite. That's NOT how you…
Trump admin’s degrowth agenda goes well beyond extreme tariffs & obstructing our fastest-growing energy sources — it’s attempting to dismantle the backbone of US scientific and R&D capacity: (1) NSF: >55% cut (2) NASA Science: ~50% cut (3) ARPA-E: 57% cut (4) DOE Science: 14%…
🚨 New SHIFT KEY just dropped 🚨 @robinsonmeyer, @JesseJenkins, and @goodjillian take stock of our post-OBBBA climate future. Listen to the episode below, or wherever you get your podcasts. heatmap.news/podcast/shift-…
And now: A thread regarding my thoughts on "1.5°C"--not only as a Paris Agreement target, but also re: relevance to recent #climate events & overlaps (or not) w/geophysical realities. (This was originally written as a response to a journalist, who used excerpts in their article.)
