We’re launching a program to accelerate the adoption of next-gen heat pumps for commercial buildings. From big-box stores and schools to hospitals, we're revolutionizing the way they heat and cool their spaces to reduce carbon emissions and energy costs. canarymedia.com/articles/heat-…
Good on ya. Keep well.
As badly as the media has fucked up reporting about the economy, they've fucked up about crime even worse. Under Donald Trump, murders skyrocketed, and under Joe Biden, they plummeted at a record pace in 2023, while 2024 is shaping up for even bigger reductions. But nobody knows.
Border adjustments are needed to preserve U.S. jobs and the political coalition supporting industrial decarbonization. We should not wait for a carbon tax or worry about the WTO. One way to get China to clean up faster: build a ‘climate club’ wapo.st/3W2V4hH
Pfizer generates a ton of revenue in the US -- but doesn't report a US profit and, as a result, didn't pay U.S. corporate income tax in 2023 ... Nice reporting by Freddy Brewster in the Jacobin Something really needs to change 1/2
Today, New York committed $100M to grow the Electron Ion Collider—the single largest state contribution to a scientific project in U.S. history. This boosts $138M from @POTUS to supercharge a new era of nuclear physics that will begin to unravel the proton by the 2030s.
Congrats Diana, they are lucky to have you.
The @UAW has pledged to support Mexican autoworkers organizing in the independent union movement. “Rather than thinking of Mexican workers as our adversaries, we need to see each other as partners in the struggle for worker power.” inthesetimes.com/article/uaw-me…

This column meant more to me than anything I've written for a while. Here's an excerpt. Please take a moment to read the whole thing
I'm with @SecGranholm, @ShawnFainUAW, @GovWhitmer, and @RepSlotkin to announce new training guidelines for apprentices and workers looking to get into battery manufacturing. This will prepare workers to get into good jobs while working towards the clean energy transition.
I was an employee of NBCUniversal for 30 years, and I am urging you to boycott NBC’s “Meet the Press” tomorrow. Former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel is scheduled to make her debut as NBC’s newly hired political analyst. McDaniel took part in Trump’s plot to assemble a fake slate of…
Hey .@JamesSurowiecki, a nudge for a correction. The 2021 White House gathering was an event to announce EPA tailpipe pollution regulations, not an EV summit. EV’s don’t have tailpipes.
I’m not a fan of “immaculate disinflation” to describe the easing in inflation. This suggests there is no clear reason for it and thus not possible to forecast. Not so, the disinflation is primarily due to the fading fallout from the pandemic and Russian war and was predictable.
How can the United States prepare for anticipated load growth? Executive Vice President Melanie Kenderdine and @ENERGY’s @JigarShahDC had a conversation about rising #electricity #demand and ways to meet it at an @ENERGYDialogue webinar. efifoundation.org/insights/kende…

The more I learn about this project, the more absurd the "environmental" opposition is! The new 345 kV line will be located alongside an EXISTING road already bisecting the Upper Mississippi Wildlife Refuge and it will ELIMINATE an pair of existing transmission corridors!
