🚨 New paper published: History of #AirQuality In Utah 👉 mdpi.com/2071-1050/14/15/965… Utah has a long fascinating air quality history that that you wouldn't believe. Understanding our history can inform where we are today & our future. Follow along 🧵...

We have this, but kids cancer research was deemed wasteful spending.

I’m glad to see the Senate, once again, shut down Mike Lee’s insane ideas for our public lands. It’s time for the House to do the same. The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Plan was created through years of work, public comment, and Tribal consultation. We must uphold this collaborative effort to protect the Colorado Tribe’s irreplaceable cultural resources and history. sltrib.com/news/environment/…

100000% correct. We certainly have our issues (who doesn't), but let's never, ever forget: America is awesome.

Next thing China is about to eat up is heavy duty electric truck. New goals for 2030: - 40% market penetration - 1.6 million strong fleet - 3,000 charging station for heavy duty trucking - 30,000 km of zero-carbon freight corridor

Making electricity is becoming cleaner across the U.S., China, and the EU.

This is the “environmental destruction” solar haters are SO concerned about. Fields of wildflowers and shade for grazing animals.

Ember's Kingsmill Bond spoke to the CNBC about how "fossil fuels are now intermittent and uncertain." And as fuel supply disruptions continue to make headlines, rapid deployment of renewables and electrification can be a stable and low-cost alternative. cnbc.com/2026/06/05/iran-war…

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man. Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does. A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching. Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves. I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

Rising geopolitical tensions, surging #energy demand & growing fossil fuel market volatility are reshaping the global energy landscape. ⚡#Electrification, renewable power & the transition away from fossil fuels are emerging as key pillars of the next phase of the global #energytransition. Find out how achieving a global electrification rate of 35% by 2035 is critical to accelerating the transition ➡️ irena.org/Publications/2026/…

Trump's UFC spectacle on the White House South Lawn is taking 7 agencies and $60 million to put on—meanwhile the Trump family stands to profit as they sell coins commemorating the fight. More blatant corruption. apnews.com/article/trump-ufc…

Buttigieg: We didn't know it, but we've all been trusting our lives to the restraint of whoever the president might be. And now we have a president who is completely unrestrained. And so the only answer to that is a functioning Congress. It turns out we do not have a functioning Congress. The House of Representatives is not representative. One of the most important organs of our democracy is not democratic. They say, "Oh, no. We're not manipulating the map to disempower black people. We're manipulating the map to disempower Democrats who happen to be black people.” So, the time has come to make it impossible to manipulate the map for any reason and just have fair maps.

How come there are no conspiracy theories about Maine's very slow ranked-choice tallying? It's almost as if it's not the slowness of the count, per se, that gives rise to these theories so much as it is people deliberately lying.

Trump started a war and lost it

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.  We could have 13 seats matching the district structure of the federal judiciary, but also a process that makes it less partisan. We cannot have partisan warfare every time there's an opening on the court

Our 2026 Indicators of Global Climate Change paper is out! We find that the human-induced warming was 1.37C in 2025, and the current rate of warming is 0.27C per decade, on track to firmly pass 1.5C in about four years.

If only we had a federal government that wanted to build things for the future.

Our grid is so fragmented, we get crazy outcomes like this: In some parts of the US, wholesale electricity prices are negative for ~25% of the year.

Fossil fuel dependency is a national security suicide note: The Hormuz shock forced 60 countries to pass 200 emergency measures to halt fuel riots. As Bangladesh factories cut to 50% and Pakistan streets shut, the Global South is dumping oil to survive Our new @ForeignPolicy piece: foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/04…

Hopefully we get a massive dummymander to show for it.
