DC had the chance to lock in lower renewable energy rates in 2018 with the Clean Energy DC Act.

As Council Committee Chair, McDuffie stripped the provision from the bill as a favor to Pepco lobbyists.

Today, DC residents are paying ~$24 more a month as a result of the decision.

Zohran Mamdani’s proposal to speed up buses and make them fare-free provoked excitement and debate during his mayoral campaign.

Most data centers have semitruck-sized diesel backup generators, making sporadic smoke plumes a fact of life for many in Virginia.

An analysis of the emissions found that pollution from the generators could cause respiratory symptoms and premature death. https://t.co/1oYI8ZTFg1

@NERC_Official data shows the U.S. grid is better prepared to handle summer heatwaves this year compared to last year. Credit goes to “a substantial influx of solar and battery” resources — not the coal plants Trump has forced to stay open:
