Some shocking, amazing, insane data In just one month—May—China added 93 GW of solar power. That’s more than the entire electrical capacity of Mexico (83 GW). A country with a population of 132 million people. This is what exponential infrastructure looks like. Energy is the

This, this, this 👇

So here's the deal on the Senate-passed One Big Bad Bill, now heading back to the House for further debate: 1. Wind & solar projects that commence construction before the end of 2025 can claim the investment or production tax cuts under current law & have up to four years to

China has more wind power than any other country and it's not even close, where is this talking point coming from

Fact: a warming atmosphere traps more moisture, increasing the intensity of storms. Fact: while it takes time to know the climate influence of a storm, attribution science is very sophisticated. Fact: human influence (how we build, our warning systems) always plays a role.

The Trump WH deeply underestimates the clean energy industry's tenacity. These aren't folks who will pack up their ball and go home. They are a breed of extremely creative people who care deeply about security, economic development, and climate. No executive order can stop that.

Fascinating high resolution load data for an AI training data center (50 MW block) Periodic idling & surges - 6MW to 30MW spike in 290ms(!) - fluctuating demand followed by drop then spikes again Why does AI training load vary so much? - GPUs process data in batches, so power

I love how everything we disagree with is now a 'scam'. Dude - it's just a transmission line. Approved by everyone who needs to approve it. We have plentiful cheap wind electricity in the midwest, and businesses on the east coast that want access to it. This is self-immolation.

This transmission line will bring $20B in infrastructure spending, up to $660K in yearly tax revenue to local governments along the route, and 5 gigawatts of delivery capacity crucial for domestic industrial expansion. The GOP "energy dominance" platform is a charade.

Over on the blue site, now I see some liberals suddenly interested in the Epstein conspiracy, claiming something is being hidden — after spending years making fun of conspiracy theorists. It’s all just a continuous loop of nonsense, over and over and over.

What weaponized bureaucracy looks like: Trump's Dept of Interior now requires 69 separate categories of decisions/actions to be elevated to the Secretary for review for solar & wind projects on federal land: 1. Federal Register notices 2. Notices to proceed 3. Scoping

😂

The scale-at-all-costs model in digital media is over. Most media companies that succeed will have a smaller, tighter relationship with their audiences. I am still very bullish on this more intimate model in the era of AI and extreme fragmentation.

Nice piece that exposes a dumbfounding assumption hidden in DOE's recent report: no new power plants connect after 2026. This impossible constraint renders DOE's report practically useless.

It is a well known fact that if you have to reference the “man in the arena” quote, you are in a really rough spot.
