@seungminkim The AP is APP!

@TKavulla Reminds me of that time in college I asked the Speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives how he could reconcile the Bible and Atlas Shrugged sitting on his desk next to each other...

[Mark Kresowik @electrifyus]

@TKavulla If only he and Trump could have bonded over their shared love of Les Miserables - and understood the bishop as the ideal - instead of a mutual predilection for retaliating against opponents, real or perceived, no matter how small and petty the slights... https://t.co/lRkeRLxA3J

@mattyglesias Yes, AND lets stop wasting the electricity we already consume. That also lowers bills and increases capacity of the grid for electrification. Like in manufactured homes (cough cough). And everywhere else too... https://t.co/mKKxiC4JMu

@TKavulla Travis, your math on this is even worse than your sudden "discovery" of the concept of leakage re: RGGI. By your own admission the plant lost money during the period DOE has forced it to stay open. The depreciation was unavoidable once the plant was built as a regulated asset.

[Mark Kresowik @electrifyus]

Building codes don't just save you money, they can save your life. Last month 2 people froze to death inside their own homes. More insulation and better air sealing can keep you safe and comfortable for days on end if the power goes out in the cold: https://t.co/otiomTVDj6

@KansasCity has been saving families hundreds of dollars a year on their energy bills since 2023 thanks to updated building codes, but the Council voted 7-6 last week to reverse that progress and raise future bills. @MayorLucasKC should keep KC a leader and veto that move.

I don't care about this NFL playoff game between the Patriots and Texans at all, but there were more quarters than drives that lasted more than 6 plays, and twice as many turnovers as quarters. Yikes.

@CutBackDavis69 @mattyglesias @JakeAuch Even if that were true, energy efficiency standards help renters even more than owners, as they dont have the downpayment responsibility for a home loan. Its all savings from day one: lower monthly energy costs are more than the impact of the efficiency investment to monthly rent

[Mark Kresowik @electrifyus]

I sure hope for the sake and pocketbooks of the hundreds of thousands of U.S. families that are planning to buy manufactured homes in the coming years that U.S. Senators are better at math than most of their colleagues in the House...

[Mark Kresowik @electrifyus]

Thank you to the 147 House Democrats who voted against raising energy bills on American families this morning. To the 206 Republicans and 57 Democrats voting for higher costs for families buying manufactured homes: voters have said they want lower bills, and this was an easy one.

[ACEEE @ACEEEdc]

“This gives the green light for manufacturers to pinch pennies on insulation and leave residents to pay the price month after month," said Jennifer Layke, Executive Director of ACEEE, about a bill just passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.

Any of you would take $40 a month with a lower energy bill in exchange for $20 monthly in your home loan payment Thats exactly what DOE's energy efficiency standards for manufactured housing net households: $20 a month in lower housing bills.

[Mark Kresowik @electrifyus]

They claim it will lower home loan payments by a few bucks, but the fine print says monthly energy bills will go up by twice that much. Nobody would take that deal if given a choice, but the majority wants to force that on hardworking familes... to benefit a couple manufacturers

[Mark Kresowik @electrifyus]

As soon as tomorrow Congress could vote on HR 5184, which kills a rule that would save struggling American families hundreds of dollars. People are trying to keep their lights on and one of the first bills of the year would make that harder. Despicable. https://t.co/huivP8DcBr

@Negawatt_Nate @wmata @wmataGM @DCist @dcyimbys Not just U St, all the way to Greenbelt. Thanks WMATA!

[Mark Kresowik @electrifyus]

@ASAPstandards Harmful because both bills would raise energy costs on families already struggling to keep the lights on!

[Mark Kresowik @electrifyus]

@TKavulla I heard Dominion only bid in a fraction of their offshore wind project that will be online. Is that true and any idea why?

[Mark Kresowik @electrifyus]

@RealNaughtius @IowaChill As an Iowan in DC, what Naughtius said about Gallaudet. Still a great story despite some flawed language in your tweet.

[Mark Kresowik @electrifyus]

And I posted that right before Wetjen returned a punt for a TD!

[Mark Kresowik @electrifyus]

At this rate the Iowa football team is going to surpass the entire 2023 season point total in this single game... 😳
