2020 reporting recap: It has been a dark year. But governments, companies, and researchers were still able to advance the clean energy transition. Here are some of the trends I reported on for @greentechmedia and @EnergyMonitorAI in 2020. (1/15)

[Matt Fuller @MEPFuller]

Pelosi says the purpose of this attack was to stop Congress from validating the election.

“That purpose will not be fulfilled,” she says.

Some applause in the room.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment.

Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate.

We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.

[Matt Fuller @MEPFuller]

Sergeant at Arms says we’ve had “a little setback” as there is still a “sizable” number of protestors in the Capitol.

He says it might take another hour before they’ve cleared the complex.

President-elect Biden addresses the nation: https://t.co/BXM3SZK25R

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

.@SenSchumer and I are calling on President Trump to demand that all protestors leave the U.S. Capitol and Capitol grounds immediately.

[Matt Fuller @MEPFuller]

Hakeem Jeffries says members plan to return and certify the Electoral College. Members from both parties applaud.

But first, they’re still clearing the Capitol.

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

The governor of Virginia acted to send the National Guard before the President of the United States. Just insane

[Igor Bobic @igorbobic]

Here’s the scary moment when protesters initially got into the building from the first floor and made their way outside Senate chamber.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

The D.C. National Guard is not controlled by the Mayor; it’s controlled by the President.

The lack of a military response right now is a failure by the *federal* government to respond to an assault on one of its most important institutions engaging in its most important duty.

[El Norte Recuerda @Vanessid]

Reminder fo what capitol "security" in full military-grade riot gear looked like for Black Lives Matter protests this summer.

[Rachel Golden @RachelEGolden]

.@socalgas is working to stall CA's transition to clean energy by:

❌spending CUSTOMER money to fight #BuildingElectrification

❌funding fossil fuel front groups [@CA4BES]

❌ suing CA for its climate policy

[Fridays For Future Uganda @Fridays4FutureU]

Uganda hotter than it is, polluted with more carbon emissions will not be safe for anyone and will be worse for future generations.

The largest organization representing American Indians and Alaskan Natives passed a historic resolution calling on “private insurance companies to end their underwriting of the expansion of tar sands oil, Arctic oil and gas, and LNG export terminals.” https://t.co/nD1XOvV6s3

[Patagonia @patagonia]

Tell Minnesota @AGEllison to stop the construction of the Line3 pipeline which threatens critical Indigenous cultural resources for generations to come. #StopLine3

[Costa Samaras @CostaSamaras]

Setting up a study, figuring out what knowledge you need and what tool to use, is often the hardest part of research. This course is essential.
