College football is back…

And the climate cult is trying to make it about them, pushing “climate change lessons.”

Truly, the most miserable people in the world. 🤡

[The Honest Broker @RogerPielkeJr]

This letter from the NAS president asking for funds to support a report on climate to serve political advocacy is . . . something

NAS should not act as an environmental NGO

[EnergyDominant @EnergyDominant]

@xiaowang1984 Lots of projects but it’s mostly uprates so I think capacity wise its insignificant % of RRI. Some may be non-Dominion VA new CCGT. Also Mt storm WV coal is dominion but not VCEA, and they’re adding gas there

[EnergyDominant @EnergyDominant]

@xiaowang1984 Yes but it’s having a hell of a time trying to even get 1GW Chesterfield plant online or pause closures. Its own doing - it backed VCEA and now tip toeing around to avoid the wrath of their old NGO allies (unsuccessfully)

[EnergyDominant @EnergyDominant]

@xiaowang1984 In an alt universe, DC world capital would be in a state that could actually power them and MARL wouldn't be necessary. In reality, its in VA which needs emissions to occur in WV/PA so the architects and defenders of VCEA/RGGI can pat themselves on the back

America’s energy future is on the table in Suncor v. Boulder County.

If Boulder wins, US energy producers get crushed, prices soar, small businesses get devastated, and a backdoor net-zero agenda gets imposed with no legislative vote.

Must-read post on what’s on the line. 👇

[Deep Background @DeepBackround]

The case that could shut down American energy is heading to the Supreme Court.

In Suncor v. Boulder, one Colorado county is attempting to impose a nationwide net-zero agenda through the courts.

Here’s who is funding the climate lawfare campaign. 🧵

@ShanuMathew93 Appreciated. Please also share stories like this to educate on why reliable power is increasingly scarce https://t.co/y410vvIn6P

@TheStalwart It definitely isn't intuitive! Took a shot at methodically explaining this a few months ago-->

Forget Vice City. We’re going to Washington.

Can you unlock Lake America, close the deal and drain the swamp?

[Radiant @RadiantNuclear]

The @USArmy has awarded Radiant $750 million to deliver 15 Kaleidos microreactors through the Janus program, one of the largest contracts @DIU_x has issued to date.

The Army launched the Janus Program to strengthen the energy resilience of military installations and mission-critical infrastructure. Radiant was chosen after extensive evaluation of reactor design, technical maturity, manufacturing readiness, deployment strategy, and commercial viability. Radiant’s 15 microreactors will enable the Army to deploy nuclear power across multiple locations. In tandem, the operational data acquired through the Program will accelerate commercial deployments across a global footprint of commercial customers.

@noah_gordon_ I assure you we won’t be taking advice on gas from anyone involved in Germany’s energy policy. We’ll just sell them gas at a premium

[Skanda Amarnath @IrvingSwisher]

The Pennsyvlania coal leakage problem is a real issue for RGGI being a true catalyst for cleaning up demand side emissions

Among enviro policies, RGGI has more merits than, say, RPS. But it’s executed suboptimally and wind & solar enthusiasts turn a blind eye to what it really takes to move past PA coal

[Ryan Alimento @RyanAlimento]

Weird line in Utility Dive calls solar "firm clean energy," attributes it to Gov. Shapiro who never uses the word "firm"

[EnergyDominant @EnergyDominant]

@ChristieFERC @ScVanValkenburg The merger, data centers, Trump… anything to distract from the real accelerants of power bills: the VCEA, RPS, and RGGI

[Steffan Szumowski @UnoMasReactor]

Westinghouse has joined the list of companies achieving initial criticality on new reactor designs!!! We're now up to 7 reactors 🤘

🚨 Oh this slipped through didn’t it … the Net Zero department (DESNZ) changed some rules by secondary legislation to energy supply licence conditions. Sneaky!

The tightened rules make energy suppliers take “all reasonable steps” (it doesn’t define ‘reasonable’) to install smart meters in ALL remaining domestic premises by 31 December 2030. From 2027 suppliers will have binding annual installation milestones.

The Government explicitly says if progress towards universal smart metering is too slow … it is prepared to introduce “LESS FLEXIBLE MEASURES.”

… sounds a bit “forceful” to me 🚨

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Staring at this @Shawn_Regan chart, I think after all the hubub the data center industry is actually gonna be fine.

@kjfxmonk @TheStalwart @grok give me the numbers for the pace of china’s coal capacity additions last year relative to the US like he did for renewables above

[EnergyDominant @EnergyDominant]

@GuyHooperAuthor @TheStalwart Yea kudos to Beijing for building all that “clean” coal at record pace! Could’ve been us
