Hello from the Appalachian Trail! I’m about 725 miles into an attempt to thru-hike the whole thing southbound from Maine to Georgia.
I’m posting photos/updates over on Instagram if you want to follow my hike: instagram.com/nick_sobczyk?i…

D.C. friends, I’ll be passing through town in a few weeks and then again later in the fall after I (hopefully) finish the trail. See y’all soon!

Personal news: Tomorrow is my last day at Axios.
I'm taking some time off work and heading up to Maine next month to start a very long hike on the Appalachian Trail.
More on that sometime soon, but in the meantime...

A huge thank you to @bydanielmoore, @ChuckMcCutcheon and tons of others for making Axios a great place to work.
It's one of the best places to be in D.C. journalism, and I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to start Pro Energy Policy.

Go work there! Daniel's a great newsletter partner, and I'd recommend my job to anyone who asks.
And to my D.C. friends and Senate basement buddies...stay in touch. I'll be back around the energy/climate/environment journalism world soon.

Senate GOP leadership is doubling down on their ability to undo California’s EV mandate through the CRA — despite the GAO & parliamentarian
@nick_sobczyk & I reported on Rs thinking on this last week axios.com/2025/05/01/senate-…
6 May 2025
Roughly 40% of Americans are subject to California's EV mandate. The Golden State isn't simply setting a stricter standard for itself; it's setting a new national standard.
The Senate should use the Congressional Review Act to overturn CA's EV mandate.

We're gonna miss @jholz__ a ton. She's forgotten more about mining (and music) than I'll ever know.
But she's right -- this is a super sick gig. Come write a newsletter with me! We'll have fun!
