Thanks to WBUR for letting me share what we know about the harms the Republicans' tax-cutting and deficit-busting bill will create for the U.S. power grid—less solar, wind and batteries, higher energy prices, and destruction of jobs and economic growth: wbur.org/hereandnow/202…

Mike White next season at the transcorp Hilton in Abuja abeg! This place has everything: seedy casinos, too many restaurants, Houston oil men w/ USA flag shirts, flashy Nigerian outfits, Lebanese businessmen, backdoor political deals, dramatic lounge singers, etc

I spoke to folks at WFP. The agency is limiting aid operations in West & Central Africa due to funding cuts. This is set to impact vulnerable people in at least 7 countries. Children in northern Nigeria are already being hospitalized more for hunger. The Associated Press apnews.com/article/nigeri…

Took the ⁦The New York Times⁩ quiz… and yep… in addition to improving respiratory health - a heat pump might very well save me $$$$

Here are 3 specific ways the RFK Stadium deal has to get better: - Invest in Metro, not parking garages - Build more housing with benchmarks to make sure promises are kept - Lead in sustainable, net-zero design The Wash Biz Journal runs my full op/ed 👇 bizjournals.com/washington/new…

The latest on Cleveland Cliffs' Middletown plant, which was awarded up to $500 million by the Biden admin to replace its blast furnace with a green steel setup. Still unclear if DOE will use industrial decarbonization money to fund a new coal blast furnace.

DC taxpayers are footing the bill — so let’s demand a deal that builds for the future, not the past. The stadium site sits on the banks of the Anacostia River. ... 👇 (1/3)

Council Budget Office analysis on RFK Stadium deal is out & its even more expensive than first reported. Total DC Taxpayer Subsidy: $4.4 billion‼️ We need a better deal. That’s a huge price to pay with not enough coming back to DC taxpayers & residents. Still time to get right.

This/I-82 will take up most of the oxygen today but I hear the utility companies are also pushing to reverse the city’s energy efficiency standards for buildings: Bowser proposed it and Allen struck it. McDuffie could try to get this passed, but unclear if votes will be there

Electrifying news! New York is the first state to adopt an all-electric building code prohibiting fossil fuels in new construction. A federal district court judge recently upheld the requirement, slamming a prior judgement on gas bans. canarymedia.com/articles/carbo…

No sign we're getting anywhere close to a vote here on RFK...but the scuttlebutt around the Wilson Building is the Commanders' execs are huddled up in a first floor office awaiting the vote. Lobbyists galore have flitted in and out all morning. It's gonna be a long day...
