Climate VP @CAPAction and father of three wonderful kids who deserve a 100% Clean Future. Good tweets are my own. Bad tweets are also my own.

Americans are struggling with high energy prices, and the Trump administration’s actions only make it worse. @AmProg has a plan for immediate relief and long-term stability. https://t.co/6X54inYIIi

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

[𝕯𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖆 𝕹𝖔𝖔𝖗 @dharnanoor]

Donald Trump’s aggressive rollback of environmental protections directly contradicts the promises of his “make America healthy again” campaign, according to new research from @amprog shared exclusively with the Guardian.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

There’s a thing out there called a “climate husher.” Anyone who cares about what fossil fuel pollution is doing to Earth’s natural systems needs to ignore these so-called “climate hushers” – people who think Dems should stop talking about climate.

Ambitious climate action is projected to drop oil prices by more than half in the next 10 years. The last time oil prices were that low, a gallon of gasoline in the United States cost less than $2! ⛽ https://t.co/uAwqSZBvZb

When you find out you took over a country and made it your oil colony for nothing.

[Lori Lodes @loril]

The Exxon CEOs face tells you everything you need to know about what the companies think of Trump’s boondoggle in Venezuela.

[Sean Casten @SeanCasten]

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is really bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: https://t.co/kbWZ0barjC

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

@loril @mattyglesias Is strange to me that in the supposed truce here, the big give by oil & gas is just to acknowledge that climate science exists, and not, say, to stop trying to annihilate clean energy or tell Trump not to invade Venezuela over oil.

[Lori Lodes @loril]

I’ve known and liked @mattyglesias for years. But it is odd: abundance depends on abundant, cheap, clean energy. Yet as Trump & fossil fuel execs work to sabotage it, Yglesias attacks clean energy advocates and promotes more oil and gas.

[CAP Energy Policy @CAPenergypolicy]

⚡️Most consumers will see their electricity bills climb even higher. New research from @amprog and @NRDC finds that 65% of electric utility customers across 49 states + DC face rising rates within two years. 💸 https://t.co/2AfLEEwgMT

On way 1st day teaching journalism course on covering immigration, met by ICE in Mt.Pleasant at Lamont - agents appear to take father driving young daughter, likely to school. Agents shoving bystanders, daughter sobs it’s her fault-she’d seen car parked for 2hrs. Trump’s America

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

The Trump Administration’s panic over skyrocketing utility bills is setting in — up 10% since Trump took office.

Trump, Burgum, Wright, and Zeldin have been on an all-out massacre against American clean energy despite everybody warning it would jack up rates. No excuses.

[Mikie Sherrill @MikieSherrill]

Utilities have skyrocketed in New Jersey and they’re only set to grow with Trump’s catastrophic budget supported by my opponent @Jack4NJ.

Let’s talk about it.

[Washington Journal @cspanwj]

Joining us this morning is Brigham McCown (@BAMcCown) of the Hudson Institute and Trevor Higgins (@TBHiggins) of the Center for American Progress to discuss President-elect Trump's energy and environmental agenda.

[American Progress @amprog]

This pernicious bill is a tool for tyranny.

It would give any presidential administration – especially the incoming one – absolute power over American civil society as it strips away due process protections.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

We just won our Senate race! As a son of immigrants, a public school kid, I never could’ve imagined I’d get to serve as a US Senator. I’m deeply humbled and grateful to NJ and for everyone who got us here. I promise I’ll serve with honor and integrity as a public servant for all.

[Trevor Higgins @TBHiggins]

It’s not “weird science.” Climate change — and its deadly consequences — are real.

[Martin Heinrich @MartinHeinrich]

I guess JD Vance hasn’t heard of the Inflation Reduction Act.

I’ll help him out: it was the largest investment in American clean energy manufacturing EVER and it was passed by Democrats during the Biden Harris administration.

[Trevor Higgins @TBHiggins]

In the last 2 years,
• overall inflation has slowed by two-thirds,
• grocery price inflation slowed by nine-tenths
• energy price inflation has not only slowed but fully reversed and dropped 7 percent.

The Inflation Reduction Act is living up to its name!
