Bill Gates gave $3.5 million to fund notorious climate denier Bjorn Lomborg, who says "climate change is not an existential threat."
Bill Gates just wrote that climate change is "not the existential threat some would have us believe."

The "Big Beautiful Bill" will spike consumer bills, cost America jobs, and threaten power supply shortfalls.
But smart states are moving quickly to accelerate deployment before tax credits go away.

Support for clean energy is falling - even among Democrats - because:
-Right wing media/podcasters/social media repeat fossil fuel talking points
-Astroturf campaigns lie + scare local communities away from clean energy
-National Dems don't say clean energy cuts costs

IRA has "created jobs, built factories in hollowed out blue collar towns, and funded crumbling schools. It’s been an economic lifeline for communities being left behind in the 21st century. Republicans want to put an end to all that." @michael-thomas.bsky.social

Not really. The graphic shows new capacity additions. Only two new reactors have come online since 1996, Watts Bar and Vogtle. Much love to the 20% of existing generation that comes from nuclear, but no one's building it.

This widening band of solar (yellow) and storage (green) is the biggest takeaway to me - that combo keeps getting cheaper and it provides 24/7 power.
Cheap + reliable + insulated from volatile natural gas power spikes = winner

Has U.S. clean energy passed an unstoppable tipping point?
"It took more than 20 years for the U.S. to install the first 100 GW of clean power, five years to install the next 100 GW, and three years to install the most recent 100 GW.”

Companies invested $600 billion in new clean energy projects + manufacturing since the Inflation Reduction Act was passed in Q3 2022.
77% of total investment is in Republican Congressional districts. Wonder why IRA repeal talk has quieted down?

This image shows a big reason why we haven’t confronted the climate crisis.
Most people don’t think it actually threatens them - even those who live in high-risk areas like CA, FL, LA, TX - so they don’t push governments to act at the speed and scale required by science.
