🔌💡🌟 Power was delivered to the New England grid for the first time! At 11:52PM on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024, one turbine delivered approximately five megawatts of power! #FirstPower #NewYear #NewPower #OffshoreWind #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy https://t.co/Aqy2kLr6At

CA's top air regulator insists nuclear must remain an option until renewable energy is available at scale. #NuclearWorks

While Republicans in Congress fight against clean energy investments & tax credits, real Republicans in West Virginia are challenging coal's stranglehold, recognizing that green tech offers better, higher-paying jobs & more investment

African nations are pushing for innovative funding mechanisms such as new global taxes to fund clean energy and climate change initiatives on a continent that holds 20% of the world's population but only 3% of clean energy investments

Huge moment for Khan and the FTC as their looming lawsuit could reshape e-commerce from logistics to pricing and everything in between. Amazon not offering concessions is a bold move, paving the way for the FTC to file https://t.co/6qJS9RPf8k

Investments like these are crucial to combat climate change, as emissions from least-developed countries could make up the majority by midcentury. It's time to change the pattern of clean energy investment.

[Sean Casten @SeanCasten]

Morning musing: climate change is fundamentally a problem of *energy* policy, not environmental policy. Prior to the passage of the IRA we never really framed that right - and even now, we still focus too much on the latter and too little on the former. Thread:

[William Rurode @werurode21]

Exactly the kind of investment that won't happen if the GOP is successful in repealing key elements of the IRA...but yeah, it makes sense to eliminate clean energy & manufacturing tax credits

Not a huge surprise that Saudi is moving to defend higher oil prices, especially since their investments in massive development projects like the Neom megacity, as well as their foray into the Metaverse @WSJ @summer_said

Part of oil companies’ reluctance to increase production or invest in new exploration is likely tied to capital discipline that has become a staple of the industry since oil prices began rebounding after plunging when Covid-19 hit

[Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs @MassEEA]

This might seem small, but elevating EEA to 1% of the state’s budget would be transformative – that increase represents groundbreaking investments in the clean energy transition, job training, long-overdue environmental justice initiatives, and so much more.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
We deserve #DCStatehood
We pay more taxes than you.

[Christina Henderson @chenderson]

DC is the only place in the country where politicians elected in other states get to weigh in on our local affairs. It’s undemocratic and it is unjust.

Here’s my full statement on today’s votes in the House: https://t.co/2h2VvsSSse

[Charles Allen @charlesallen]

Thank you Mr. President. Tonight’s GOP vote is nothing more than a political stunt & cynical act to earn some cheap political points by attacking DC’s laws. This is a Home Rule issue and Congress should keep its #HandsOffDC
