New @NRDC analysis from @NrdcTomr and @claireranglee of the latest @pjminterconnect capacity market auction: if 30% of the queue (~7 GW, almost all clean) had been operational instead of stuck in the queue, clearing prices would have been 63% (!) lower š® https://t.co/goO283UDiI

Fossil fuel un-reliability and PJMās failure to speedily connect new clean resources to the grid are to blame for the 2025/26 auction price spike.

My colleagues ran the numbers to examine the difference between Project 2025's climate and energy provisions and a scenario that meets America's stated 2030 climate goals. The results are stark. (1/5)

What's it mean to get a major solar factory in your backyard? For Dalton, GA, it means that young people can stay in town and start a high-tech career, instead of having to move away after high school. That's great for families, and a bustling downtown

This northwest Georgia community got in early on the national boom in cleantech manufacturing spurred by the climate law, and it's reaping the benefits.

People asking why this is factually incorrectā¦Iām at a conference today so am pressed for time but Iāll quickly address each of the 5 ākey points.ā Bottom line: You can dress up unsupported horseshit in as much polished data viz as you want, but it still stinks.
Key points arenāt actually very key when they are factually incorrect. Good of the @nytopinion to help the mob sharpen their pitchforks for Fauciās Select Subcommittee hearing by enshrining the lies that he will be attacked with as truth in the paper of record.

This is one of the biggest red flags in our path to decarbonize America: the poor performance of the US wind sector. We need wind to pick up the slack...
It's been a rough few years for wind energy in the U.S. In 2020 and 2021, the U.S. added ~14.5 GW of new capacity. In 2023, the country added 6.5 GW (down 50%+). Considering how important it is that we build a 100% carbon-free grid, this is a huge problem. š§µ

China can cut huge amounts of climate pollution by electrifying industrial processes using two market-ready technologies.

@EricGimon rejoins the @TransitionShow with @ChrisNelder to discuss the proposed final rules of the #45V clean #hydrogen tax credit. On this episode, they discuss the rules, criticisms, concerns, and potential for a U.S. green hydrogen sector. https://t.co/VvRjA0IJQx

Will the final proposed rules for the US 45V hydrogen production tax credit stimulate a vibrant green hydrogen industry without increasing carbon emissions?

Look how @APIenergy is outright lying about new EPA power plant standards. And take particular note of how they are using hysterical demand projections around data centers to justify new gas. Just horrible people.

Can we...just accept that we suck at this? I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton. https://t.co/CCWzdwPSUu
