We are very pleased that Senator Joe Manchin and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer were able to come to an agreement on legislation that includes full and permanent funding of the excise tax that funds the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund. umwa.org/news-media/pre…

Republicans wouldn’t be slight favorites to win House control right now if they hadn’t been able to gerrymander far more states than Dems. And, Dems wouldn’t hold the slight majority today if courts hadn’t struck down GOP gerrymanders in FL, NC, PA and VA in the last 7 years.

A decade ago, electricity was the biggest source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. It's quickly falling to #3—there's been lots of progress cleaning up power plants (coal to gas, wind/solar boom), but not a ton decarbonizing transportation and industry: rhg.com/research/us-gr…

Big words can be intimidating, I understand. All the Governor needs to know is that $2 BILLION and thousands of good-paying jobs are coming to Nevada thanks to President Donald J. Trump. 🇺🇸

NEW FILM: The clean energy revolution is no longer a vision of the future. It’s here—creating real jobs in real communities around the country. And it’s powered by people like Akinlana Adballa in Milwaukee, WI.

NuScale's first 462-MW small modular reactor is now estimated at $9.3 billion? That's pricier on a per-kilowatt basis than Vogtle 3&4 (~$20k/kW vs ~$14k/kW). First of a kind, true, but still surprising for a design that should be inherently safer/cheaper. wired.com/story/the-drea…

In its first few months, the IRA has spurred a wave of manufacturing announcements that'll create 100k jobs in 31 states to make the nuts & bolts of clean energy. But some say such public funds try to do too much by pursuing climate, jobs, & justice goals at the same time. 🧵

Wonderful to see @GOIUPAT’s Rochelle Ramsey-Walker at today’s U.S. EPA event talk about her craft. “An opportunity to learn a skill that you take anywhere in the world is an opportunity for all. And there are more opportunities on the horizon.”youtu.be/eshpkeD0sJc

Biden & the Dems set out to create a domestic supply chain & manufacturing base for clean energy, stocked with well-paying union jobs. And they did it. It's working. And virtually nobody knows. And they're getting no political credit for it. It's quite frustrating.
