Let’s be clear. This will raise costs. 95% of new power on the grid last year was clean energy. It essentially all came in below the grid price. Suppress it, and the grid must bring on even higher-priced units, raising costs for consumers. Trump-flation in action.

Days before #LaborDay, Trump dealt a sharp blow to workers and families by killing 1000 good and local jobs. Despite overwhelming support for offshore wind, Trump revoked work permits for Revolution Wind — we should be adding more of these jobs, not taking them away. #yestowind yestowind.com

Thank you @peterneronha.bsky.social for speaking passionately at the @climateactionri.org #YestoWind rally alongside @dawneuer.bsky.social, Lauren Carson, Stephen Porder from Brown and Green Energy Consumer Alliance. Without wind, we can’t hit our climate targets. Period.

We support and stand by Professor Roberts and his lab. Their research is incredibly important to climate action and exposing the deep roots the fossil fuel industry has in its attempts to stop it.

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up.
