‘Drill baby drill’ didn't results in lower gas and diesel prices.
Folks want lower electricity and fuel costs now. Everyone is looking at batteries/demand flexibility to deliver results in the next 12 months.

Join Governor-elect @GinaHinojosaTX’s historic administration. Texas is the 8th largest economy in the world and this will be the most consequential administration in the country.
I want to congratulate my nephew, Sam Forstag, who gives Montanans hope that this country can work for working people. I am beyond proud. And at this moment, I think of my parents, Warren (an Army veteran) and Joan, a woman who raised 8 kids on one paycheck. They believed that we should care for all people and we should work hard doing it. I have carried that legacy into Congress and I am beyond proud that the next generation will too. Congrats, Sam! Let’s get to work for working people.
"Basically every sitting Dem governor or governor-elect embraced clean energy as a key guardrail against data center pollution." —@loril, president of Climate Power

“The election was a compete repudiation of his energy agenda,” said @loril , president of @ClimatePower. “The question is what comes next, and one thing he could do is stop blocking clean power that could help meet demand and lower costs.” https://t.co/5aKhLT5ZM7
There was no bigger nexus between cost-of-living & corruption than Trump’s illegal blockade against hundreds of clean energy projects while utility bills skyrocketed.
Trump needs to end his war on clean energy now, and every Republican left needs to answer for it until he does.
There are 17 statewide offices on the ballot in Texas today - Sen, Gov, LG, AG, Ag Commish, Comptroller, Land Commish, Railroad Commish, 4 Sup Court seats, 3 appeals court seats, 3 criminal appeals court seats.
With 66% in, Dems are leading all 17 with at least 55% of the vote
1/ A few thoughts on tonight’s election:
Voters made clear they demand a different kind of country. Americans want an economy that can compete globally and deliver for them at home.
And they made clear that they want leaders they can trust to fight for their constituents.
Because somebody is going to write something that annoys me tomorrow.
Data centers are an affordability story
Data centers are a corruption/power story
Data centers are a tech story
And yes, data centers are a climate/environment story
This is how I personally became invested in getting AI right — both the politics and policy. AI touches so many aspects of our lives, and tonight, voters are telling us they agree!
Ohio's Senate race saw datacenters become a big issue. Just check out the current status of the reporting Ohio ballot measures. 80-20 against datacenters, universally.
@ChrisPappasNH calls out what voters across the country are fighting for tonight: New Hampshire families won't stand for data centers that pollute and harm our communities. That’s a message worth winning on.
