My latest paper on offshore wind. While it might seem like a weird moment to talk about a federal offshore wind authority, I'd argue it is THE moment. We need a credible plan to rebuild this critical decarb industry in a new admin after Trump's destructive tactics. 👇👇

A pleasure to speak with @jaeporeon this week about our recent paper on a federal offshore wind authority

🚨 Today, Common Wealth launches the Green Planning Commission.  A major new initiative to tackle the twin crises of our era: climate breakdown & the affordability crisis.  To meet these challenges, we need a new era of democratic planning.  🧵 Here’s why.

"This is the stuff of class war, not trade war." @BrusselerMel on Trumpism, tariffs, and how the Left should respond. https://t.co/82CUdNKUGr

What are the ways forward for climate action under Trump? National policy is foreclosed. But a lot can happen at the state and local level. @aldatweets and I argue that we must embrace green economic populism, tackling the cost-of-living crisis and the climate crisis together 🧵

So stoked for this event tonight -- come hang out with @KateAronoff @sandeepvaheesan @advaitarun_ and me as we talk about Sandeep's new book and where we go from here in the fight for energy justice. Creative Grounds in DC @ 6pm https://t.co/OdbAGcMAtc

Next Tue, Dec 17 at 6 PM, @cplusci will host a discussion at Creative Grounds with @johannabozuwa, @KateAronoff, @advaitarun_, and me. We'll examine what the 1920s and 30s teach us about building power today. Join us!

Both candidates in the 2024 election supported fossil fuel expansion, and many politicians believe phasing them out is unpopular. Our new polling data collected during the campaigns shows overwhelming support for curtailing fossil fuel production.🧵 https://t.co/Jb2yyvZswX

Major shoutout to @MarkVinPaul @emilygrubert + Holly Caggiano for this work! https://t.co/JzPZw7VLvZ

We can't continue w this "all of the above" energy policy. It caters to corporations + elites, not people + planet. In this moment of reassessing our strategies, this shows that we can walk and chew gum at the same time: build up renewables while directly taking on fossil fuels.

New polling out today -- voters SUPPORT phasing out fossil fuels. The last election cycle, both Harris and Trump said "drill baby, drill" but it turns out that this doesn't track with popular opinion. https://t.co/JzPZw7VLvZ

I’ve been mulling over this NYT Op-Ed for a couple of days. In the abstract, it is coherent, even compelling. But in concrete political-economic and planetary reality, it’s a dubious argument. First, the author takes issue with policymakers treating climate as a “moral crusade”🧵

Ok, an absolutely fantastic book just dropped by @sandeepvaheesan !! Want to learn more? Come hang out w us and @KateAronoff + @advaitarun_ to discuss on Dec 17th in dc! https://t.co/PVlyuEWGFB

1. My book Democracy in Power is out today! It examines the history of cooperative and public power in the United States and lays out one possible future. I’m indebted to so many people for their encouragement, support, and wisdom. I’ll highlight a few. https://t.co/lJYKBvCjrB

The outcome of the 2024 election will have grave consequences for the US and the world. As the climate crisis intensifies, we must strategize about building power for policies that create a greener, fairer future for all. Join us on 12/9 from 4-5pm EST: https://t.co/z9c4SlRbQH

2. On the evening of Dec. 10, I will be at People's Book in Takoma Park discussing one of the great achievements of the New Deal--rural electrification

3. On Dec. 17, @cplusci will host an event at Creative Grounds on North Capitol St where @johannabozuwa, @KateAronoff, @advaitarun_, and I will examine what 20th century American history teaches us about building power today

The stakes of the years ahead are clear. The climate and the economy are a disaster for working class people—and will worsen. To rebuild the left and fight fascism, we need a political vision that connects kitchen table issues to the fate of the planet. https://t.co/bwiKN3glwu
