Stunningly, the new Senate budget bill contains a NEW tax on wind & solar power projects. Avoiding the tax depends on positive demonstration that projects dont violate material assistance rules that is next to impossible to demonstrate. Based on my calcs, could raise taxes on

The Post (and Elon) gets it right. This is insanity - and the best way to make energy more expensive, make our economy worse and make our country less competitive. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

Tillis: But I have to vote against the bill from my own party that I have never parted from before because we're rushing to an arbitrary deadline

This is how you kill an industry - and our energy security. Surprise Tax in G.O.P. Bill Could Cripple Wind and Solar Power nytimes.com/2025/06/29/cli… via @NYTimes

Surprise tax on solar and wind projects in latest Senate tax bill is "is how you kill an industry". Impact could cost US 300GW of new capacity by 2035, raising energy prices 61% while losing hundreds of thousands of jobs and growth. nytimes.com/2025/06/29/cli… via brad plumer

“If we ever wanted a policy in this country that would kill jobs, reduce business investments and make us less competitive, while also reducing our electricity supplies in this country, we've got it.” — Bob Keefe on the Senate’s plan to gut clean energy tax credits and tax new

One acre of corn for ethanol = 25,000 miles in a Ford F-150. One acre of solar = 700,000 miles in an F-150 Lightning. That’s the scale of possibility Bill McKibben laid out on the Energy Capital Podcast. And here’s the kicker: with agrovoltaics, farmers can still use that land.

As the Trump Administration does everything it can to kill wind, solar and batteries even amid soaring electricity demand and costs, its up to others to ensure we have the power we need at the prices we can afford. Fortunately, states like Illinois are stepping up. The Illinois

Good morning with good news: US added a record number of EV charging stations in third quarter of 2025! ~780 public high-speed charging stations opened in Q3. US charging infrastructure expanded by 19% in the first nine months of the year. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I’m tired of having to repeat this but it still hasn’t sunk through to my economically illiterate colleagues. Clean energy is cheap energy. Attack one and you attack the other. Why not have both? washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles. DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

"In California, batteries consistently supplied more than a quarter of electricity during this year’s spring and summer peaks, data from energy analytics platform Grid Status shows. In the first eight months of 2025, gas generation was down 37% from 2023" Financial Times Stanford ENERGY

#CleanEnergy workers propel the entire energy sector; 82% of net-new energy jobs in 2024 were clean energy jobs. See how clean energy props up the industry that powers our country forward: on.e2.org/3jVCggq

Let us never underestimate the importance of a free press. Thanks for these news organizations for standing up for our constitutional rights - and shame on those who try to circumvent them and manipulate the news. washingtonpost.com/business/2025/…

Thanks to the more than 25,000 people who came out and exercised their first amendment right peacefully and responsibly. Once again, no one was arrested. Thank you for keeping it classy San Diego.

We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary, and now our executive director has been recognized as one of the world's foremost leaders when it comes to driving the business of climate action all across the U.S. Bob Keefe is part of the 2025 TIME 100 Climate List! Full profile:

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Last week, The Detroit News looked at our ongoing analysis of the project cancellations hitting the EV and battery sectors under the Trump administration. The timing couldn't be worse as our executive director, Bob Keefe, told reporter Luke Ramseth. Read their full coverage at:
