The data speaks for itself — US solar is thriving, and the #InflationReductionAct is driving its advancement. 💪 This victory in energy efficiency is transforming coal communities and propelling the US closer to a zero-carbon future that benefits everyone.

Speaking of high interest rates & impacts on EV sales: an underappreciated impact of ability of dealers to claim $7500 tax credit on leased vehicles & buyers to claim at point of sale starting January: it acts as $7500 down payment & massively cuts monthly cost of lease or loan!

On this note, Monsters Inc. is my favorite movie metaphor for the energy transition. A journey about switching from children’s screams (unsustainable, unhealthy, scary) to children’s laughter (much easier to obtain, fun, good for kids) to power their society…

It’s #EarthDay, of course, we’re going to remind you that life in plastic is not fantastic. In fact, raw materials to make plastic will account for over one-third of total oil demand growth in five years if current trends continue. bit.ly/3JtqNRm

Georgia Power has won permission to build fossil-fueled power plants to serve big industrial customers including data centers. But data centers want clean energy — and are demanding cleaner options from the utility's even bigger resource plan next year: canarymedia.com/articles/utili…

Hurricane Helene (& other minor storms) dumped 40 trillion gallons of water across the Eastern US. Dozens of coal ash ponds holding billions of tons of toxic coal ash laden with heavy metals sit in the areas of heaviest rain & flooding. Does anyone know the status of these

Remarkable to see JD Vance pretend to be unaware that US energy production is up and US manufacturing is up dramatically right now, much higher than under Trump. Glad Tim Walz is laying down the facts here.
