‘Climate change’ is out. Energy affordability is in.
Awesome new media analysis by @shannonosaka.bsky.social and Kevin Crowe for the @washingtonpost.com showing declining mentions of “climate change” by Dems in speeches, media appearances, podcasts, etc. 📉

Good bye, picture books.
My 6-year-old and I just finished reading our first chapter-length book together.
THE WILD ROBOT was the perfect introduction to a complex, well-told narrative.
It’s been incredible to witness her tiny human brain coming to terms with it all — “a book can be THIS?!”

🪨 A @natcomms.nature.com paper out today delivers a new warning about Trump's push for deep-sea mining.
🦐 The discharge waste from #deepseamining — if allowed to be done at commercial scale — will "likely to disrupt midwater food webs."

Feeling overwhelmed? Visit a college campus and talk to the students.
I had the pleasure of speaking at my alma mater yesterday. Banished some of the overwhelming dread I’ve felt about the future, AI, and climate change in recent weeks.
Jane Goodall said it best: “We must not give up hope.”

Speaking of AI data centers, have you flown into Dulles International Airport near D.C. recently?
Welp, you landed smack in the middle of Data Center Alley, the world's *densest data center hub.*
Its making power bills skyrocket in Baltimore.
You can see the U-shaped runways in the center. 🫣

The $7,500 EV tax incentives expire today. If you’ve have been waiting for a sign to buy or lease, this is it. 🚙
I caved to the pressure of these expiring tax credits last month. I picked up a Kia EV9 electric SUV from a M.D. dealership for a smoking deal on a lease — and never looked back!

Maryland’s first offshore wind farm lives on in novelty sock form.
What about in real life?
Likely, no. Not anymore. Read my latest reporting to find out why.👇

I’m back!
✍🏻 Took 7 days offline in California for a writing retreat. I spent most of the time working on my next big project — but I also got to leisurely sail through stunning migrations of sooty shearwaters.

*NEW*
Trump froze Revolution Wind and is now talking about stopping the 4 other offshore wind farms being built in America, according to @evanhalper.bsky.social.
That means halting the only wind farm backed by a Republican governor: CVOW in Virginia. They just installed their 159th monopile...🍿

Response from NJ: "There is no evidence or research showing adverse health effects from EMF exposure from underground powerlines. Even if a person wearing a pacemaker or ICD were to sit, sunbathe, walk along, or live near buried transmission cables" the magnetic field is unlikely cause danger.

Trump is now enrolling multiple agencies in his anti-wind assault— random ones, too, like Health & Human Services.
They’re gonna claim that the undersea cables that come onshore cause cancer. It’s a tired conspiracy with no evidence.
I wrote about it last year, and how it took over my hometown 👇

I am a 41-year old writer with a PhD and today I learned a new word.
I actually love when this happens! It’s like a tiny jolt of nerd adrenaline. 💉
Thanks @jamellebouie.net. I don’t think this happens much at The Other Place.

In the chaos of reporting on the halting of Revolution Wind in Rhode Island, I totally missed that Trump — on the same day — signaled he will nix federal permits for MarWin, which is approved but not yet built.
MarWin was slated to be Maryland’s first #offshorewind farm. They also have great merch
