Energy efficiency and demand flexibility can avoid costly power grid buildout, but utilities rarely invest in them because utities profit by putting steel in the ground. This is a main barrier to lowering your power bills. Utility regulators have had decades to fix this but few have done anything.

There are a lot of junior people looking to leaving NREL/NLR. The work they went there to do has dried up; rumors of big layoffs in the new year abound. If you’re hiring in the clean energy/climate space, please consider them. There are so many brilliant, driven people about to be displaced.

When I first saw the photos Annie took during the inversion, I immediately thought of historical photos from pre-EPA days.

But these were taken in 2025. The Trump EPA has halted rules meant to reduce pollution in this community and others. Here's what we found:

📽️ WATCH: Photographer @annie-flanagan.bsky.social went to Clairton, PA, where residents live in the shadow of the country’s largest coke plant. Coke is a product used to manufacture steel.

This is what Annie saw — and inhaled — while on assignment in Clairton.

Jail all these people.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Great write up from Alison. I’m very proud to have worked on this rule making and the subsequent outcome. It’s also the first time I’ve been quoted in Canary Media, so personally I think that’s pretty cool.
Yay, Colorado is doing a good thing! Regulators told gas utilities they need to hit an ambitious emissions-reduction target by 2035 — a boon for public health and a managed energy transition. www.canarymedia.com/articles/uti...

Magpies are pretty ubiquitous up in the Colorado high country, but oddly I don’t really remember them from my time living up there. This Magpie was watching for snacks outside a coffee shop. They took the time to pose for me while they waited though.
