@ts_fisher Same - but you’re not one of the people I usually disagree with! I mean people who are further apart than you and I are.

[Tom Moyer 🇺🇸 @TomMoyerUT]

Twitter has brought me in contact with a handful of people who I often disagree with - and yet we can have a productive conversation and occasionally see one another’s points. If you are one of those people, then thank you. You make this place better.

"It’s a sign that Senate Republicans in particular have remembered that they run an independent branch of the federal government, with its own responsibility to voters and its own duty to uphold the Constitution and the laws it writes. They should go two steps further: bar Trump from reviving the idea, and ensure that future presidents are no longer empowered to engage in similar mischief."

[Marc Short @marctshort]

Just another step toward a managed economy and away from a free economy

[Tom Moyer 🇺🇸 @TomMoyerUT]

@calisurf I think that's an extremely fair criticism.

[Tom Moyer 🇺🇸 @TomMoyerUT]

Yes to this entire rant. See Andy’s first paragraph where he acknowledges the concerns that do stand up to scrutiny.

“For everything else…”

[Andy Masley @AndyMasley]

I wrote a quick rant about why I'm landing so hard in the skeptical corner of the data center debate, this is more just letting off steam and trying to make it clear why my hair's a little on fire about it.

[Tom Moyer 🇺🇸 @TomMoyerUT]

Yes it does. Geothermal is a bridge-builder like nothing else in the energy world.

[Joel Edwards @joelhedwards]

geothermal brings red votes for the bluest members, and blue votes for the reddest members

hot rocks uniting the country in ways nothing else can

Fingers crossed for the waiver to continue to the end of Trump’s term - and then for the next president to have no appetite to reinstate the Jones Act.

[Colin Grabow @cpgrabow]

The Jones Act waiver was issued March 17. Amazing what happens when you get that law out of the way.

We are going to save the Great Salt Lake.

As the only Utahn on the House Appropriations Committee, I helped secure an initial $10 million to create a new Great Salt Lake Watershed Recovery Program. This is the first step toward delivering President Trump’s $1 billion commitment to help save the lake.

I look forward to working with the White House, Congress, and Utahns to deliver on one of our most pressing issues.

This is dumb, but it won’t matter. No one is building coal plants in the U.S. and $700 million isn’t going to change their minds.

Also - the president has no authority to spend that money without Congress.

[jae holzman @jaeporeon]

Trump is slated today to announce support for coal industry under the Cold War-era Defense Production Act, per @axios @Ben_Geman this morning

[Tim Latimer @TimMLatimer]

Fantastic news to see the Geothermal Energy Advancement Act pass the House with broad bipartisan support.

This is the kind of smart policy that will rapidly accelerate deployment in the geothermal sector.

Optimism is a political choice.

“Optimists start businesses; optimists move to new, dynamic communities; and optimists invite others to join in their endeavors.”

[Abundance Institute @abundanceinst]

Utah @GovCox is explicitly, repeatedly and practically rejecting zero-sum thinking.

“This all points to why Congress, not the president, is supposed to be responsible for setting tariffs and trade policy. The legislative process would have prevented many of these tariffs—that the White House is scrambling to roll back—from being implemented in the first place.”

[Nick Gillespie @nickgillespie]

If tariffs were paid for by people outside the United States, why is Trump dumping or cutting a slew of them on farm equipment and related things? Because even he knows they raise prices, writes @EricBoehm87 at @reason https://t.co/E7ThuMu1qQ

The way to ensure the Trump retribution fund is more than mostly dead would be for Congress to put a stake through it. https://t.co/tOAAZPF9TF via @WSJopinion

NEW: Senate Republican lobbies Pentagon on stalled wind permits. Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker said today he's working to "get some resolution to the problem" that Dems say is a top barrier to reaching a permitting reform deal. w/@ameliadavidson_ https://t.co/UH9yn2oP8J

@rtrotter15 I think most people (including me) are in full agreement on those.

People want the product - but they want it to just magically appear at their screen or their doorstep, without any physical footprint.

[Shoshana Weissmann, Sloth Committee Chair 🦥 @senatorshoshana]

One of the many issues - there's no downside for lawmakers going full slopulist here. Block data centers, people who don't realize it's a normal part of the economy cheer. When people get mad their AI isn't working bc we don't have enough data centers, they'll blame the companies
