Utilities say residential solar is unfair because homeowners with solar don’t pay enough to support the grid. If that’s true, why do they charge businesses 25% +/- less than residential customers? Are residential customers supporting the grid more than businesses? michiganadvance.com/2025/09/02/e...
What’s the worst part of this story? (A) Trump depends on Peter Doocy for tech support, (B) Trump manages home reno projects the way Carter was accused of managing the tennis court schedule, (C) Trump is so old and weak that he can’t open a window, or (D) all of the above? apnews.com/article/trum...
With the explosion of cheap solar energy in Spain, people are having to pay to put it on the grid. There have been 500 hours of “negative pricing” in the last year. Now, everyone is buying battery backup systems.
A reminder that Trump called Baltimore a 'hellhole' today to no controversy or scandalous headlines. Imagine a Democratic president calling a red state or red city a hellhole. Just imagine. Oh, the double standards.
With global warming, the average surface temperature of the Great Lakes has increased by about 1 degree centigrade since WWII. The variation in temperatures, up and down, has increased even more with the number of spikes doubling. www.nature.com/articles/s43...
Archeologists believe drought contributed to the reorganization of Mayan society, away from centralized government. Largely because of global warming, the SW USA is in a “megadrought”, worse than any we’ve experienced in 1200 years. www.science.org/content/arti.... www.newsweek.com/southwest-us...

The National Parks Service is on a hamster wheel. Trump cut 24% of their permanent positions. Without staff, they can’t collect entrance fees so revenue is down millions of $$$. Now Trump wants to cut another $1.2 BILLION from their budget - 1/3 of current funding. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
So he lied on the actual mortgage contract, not the mortgage application as is the accusation against Cook. Can some intrepid reporter find out how many Trump minions and relatives and apparatchiks did the same? Please!
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
How old is this guy??
I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
Where is @jaketapper.bsky.social when you need him?
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
Coal is losing market share because it is expensive. Its peak was 2011 when it generated 318 GWs. Since then, it is down 140 GWs or over 40%. Another 27 GWs is scheduled to shut down by 2028, which will mean coal will have HALF the significance it once did.
Most of Rhode Island’s Revolution Wind project was built—65 of 85 turbines—and Trump still stopped it. Because apparently, derailing clean energy is a passion.
Seriously, how old is this guy?!
There is reason to believe that the growth of AI data centers is a bubble that will pop. 95% of companies experimenting with AI have not seen any benefit (fortune.com/2025/08/18/m...) They are drinking our water and raising our electric bills. Can we stall the financial speculation to collapse?
Why do you think Americans are twice as likely to say that climate change is NOT a major threat to their country, compared to the median of 24 other wealthy nations. www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/u...
Hey Michigan! Your GOP House budget is dirty! It cuts the budget for protecting the environment, Great Lake and energy by 20%. Please call your representatives and tell them what you think. findmirep.com
While some like to convert unused prisons into ICE camps, Ann Arbor is converting theirs into a green, mixed income community with solar and geothermal energy. Each home will have battery storage which the developers hope to connect into a virtual power plant. pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/08/27/_...
Trump’s EPA is arguing that climate change does not “endanger” our health. Their proof? When climate scientists say 40% of Arctic ice has melted, they say no cause only 5% of Antarctic ice has melted. They’re just not serious thinkers. apnews.com/article/clim...
Point taken. Let’s focus on the $20B in direct subsidies, $5B of which goes to Exxon Mobil (subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/exxon...) that’s worth a 1% share of the market cap EVERY YEAR.
The USA spends $6 billion a year on asthma. 90% of new childhood asthma cases is tied to the oil and gas industry. While we all pay that bill, children of color are half again as likely to suffer the pain and fear of breathlessness. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The Army is going solar. Don’t tell Trump. He tends to fire subordinates who don’t toe the line. pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/08/25/u...
Since Trump spent all day questioning Wes Moore’s military service, I assume we can now expect several very specific well researched questions for him about his Vietnam draft deferment from the WH press this week.
Blood thinners? The idea that he is at risk of a stroke is tantalizing.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 24 AUGUST 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES Today Honor UKRAINE INDEPENDENCE DAY 🇺🇦 Today STAND WITH NEWSOM Today ICE GESTAPO RAMPANT Today CHICAGO HELL NO NATIONAL GUARD Tonight This ⬇️ The SHEER STUPIDITY of the Trump Clown Show This is costing you $500 Million
This could be bigger than Epstein. 12% of Americans eat 50% of our beef and they all voted for Trump. If they get cut off, they might start to pay attention.
URGENT: U.S. human screwworm case just reported This parasite can devastate cattle by laying eggs in wounds of warm-blooded animals—eventually killing livestock. The beef industry could be at serious risk Trump just fired 5,600 USDA and 1,300 CDC employees, while pushing budget cuts of 44% at CDC
Unlike the motley crew of mall cops that is signing up with $50k bonuses to join ICE, I respect the men and women (and the gender fluid) who serve in the National Guard. I can’t believe the majority are comfortable with this. This can’t be what they signed up for.
The % of Americans who are disengaged, doubtful or disengaged about global warming hasn’t changed over the last decade. The good news is they are only 1 out of 4 of us. Over 3 out of 4 Americans are cautious, concerned and soon twice as alarmed as they were a decade ago.
Trump’s Interior Department is turning environmentalists’ legal playbook against them. Federal laws meant to protect land and wildlife are being misused to curb wind and solar development across the U.S. grist.org/energy/trump... #Wind #Solar #Climate #Renewables #Policy #Politics
Does this hypocrisy just come to home naturally? Does he even realize he’s doing it? Is it a skill or more like a reflex?!?!
Trump is a socialist! He just turned $11B from Biden’s CHIPS Act into a 10% share in Intel, following Obama’s lead who temporarily held a 60% share of GM. Maybe next Trump will turn the $760B in subsidies, tax breaks and externalities that go to the fossil fuel industry into an ownership stake?
“Peaker” power plants are dirty, expensive and thirsty. Their electricity is about 10x as expensive as solar, which works well during peak demand periods, and they use a ton of water. One peaker in Arizona consumes over 100 acre feet of water in a year. www.psehealthyenergy.org/work/opportu...

4 out of 5 voters, including 2 out of 3 Republican voters think greenhouse gases like methane and CO2 are a threat to public health and should be regulated. Yet Trump and EPA administrator Zeldin want to revoke the “endangerment” finding that allows the EPA to do just that.
Here’s hoping the Michigan State Legislature will match Wisconsin’s lead. We must protect our wetlands! gl.audubon.org/news/wiscons...
Interior Secretary Burgum laid off 25% of the National Park Service staff. Now he wants to deputize Border Patrol agents to patrol NPS sites. They’ll probably arrest a 5 year old trying to become a Junior Ranger. thehill.com/policy/energ...
🤫 Don’t tell Trump, because he tends to fire people who give him data or science he doesn’t like. But his own Energy Information Administration thinks over half the new energy in 2025 will be green, mostly solar. Coal is too $$$ and methane gas is bottlenecked by the lack of turbines.
Trump Administration is an oxymoron. USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program was frozen then reopened to applicants that were willing to rewrite their grant applications deleting any references to DEI and now killed for good. Rollins has no idea what she’s doing. pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/08/19/u...
In May Trump ordered that signs be posted in all National Parks soliciting snitches about anything in the Parks that is negative about America. They were overwhelmed with positive messages. Y August the signs have all been taken down. People power!! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
The average AI data center drinks the same amount of water as 12,000 Americans. What will that do to your well or your water bill? greatlakes.org/2025/08/grea...
1. We have normalized having a toddler in the White House who uses random " marks ("HOTTEST"?). How is any of the below normal? How are we okay with this? 2. We have a president who doesn't want us to cover, in our museums "how bad Slavery was". Was it not bad? Imagine if Reagan had said this? FFS
Don't threaten me with a good time.
The US has emitted 10x the global warming gases as Canada. These gases are responsible for 2/3 of the dryness in our forests and the resulting fires. The idea that Canada needs to pick up sticks so Americans can have a nice summer is unmitigated bovine scatology. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-whi...
Doug Burgum is hiding the Epstein files!! He shut down a big wind energy project because, he said, it was based on bad science. When reporters asked for a copy of the report, Burgum gave them 27 pages of redactions. He must be hiding something!! www.eenews.net/articles/tru...
Michigan’s 4th Congressional District was supposed to get $3.1 BILLION from the Inflation Reduction Act. But after he got $203,311 from the fossil fuel industry, Representative Bill Huizenga voted to kill funding for his district and supported Trump’s One Big Bad Bill.
Michigan’s 7th CD got the single biggest grant from the Inflation Reduction Act - $500 million for the GM plant in Lansing. Then their rep Congressman Tom Barrett @tombarrettmi got $92,000 from the fossil fuel companies and decided to vote for Trump’s OBBB which killed the project.
I am a bit of a broken record on this, but are local DAs going to let this continue indefinitely? The ICE agents didn't have any kind of warrant, didn't identify themselves, and then recklessly started firing. Let them argue federal immunity.
This is a perfect example of an effective influence campaign. After a meeting with Putin, where Putin questioned the legitimacy of mail-in ballots, Trump launches a campaign to end mail-in. I don’t think many people understand how easy it is to puppeteer Trump.
The Trump GOP budget unplugged your electricity. Solar and wind were providing 90% of our new power. The Trump GOP budget will stop that growth. Coal is too expensive. Nuclear is great takes 10 years to bring on line. Methane gas can’t grow fast enough. Read energyinnovation.org/report/one-b...
It doesn't bode well for the nation that its most profitable television news network achieved that distinction by treating its audience like gullible morons.
I'll never forget how a longtime friend of mine—a Trump-supporting member of the Republican National Committee!!—called me up after seeing Donald Trump's beaten-dog-like demeanor and posture at Helsinki. My friend asked, "Do you think Putin really has something on Trump?"
USA Today's Rex Huppke is one of very few reporters covering 47's blatant cognitive failures:
No agency insignia at all on their uniforms, so this is likely not DEA or ATF or FBI or Border Patrol. So probably it’s DHS, most likely ICE. And yeah, the comment about “liberal” is really telling. These guys are wildly unprofessional.
He looks old!

The first time I got COVID, Trump was President. I just got it for the second time. Wait! What? We reelected him?!?
Because we fought back, the Trump regime has given up and will resume the $5 billion EV charging station infrastructure program approved by Congress. They are making States reapply which is a red tape delay, but there are more charging stations in your future.
A private equity company called Thor is building a data center south of Ypsilanti that will drink up 1,000,000 gallons of water PER DAY. Are you paying for that? michiganadvance.com/2025/08/11/r...
The Trump regime’s rhetoric does not match its actions. They call for gutting the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act because it is a burden on fossil fuel interests but the turn around and say we need to kill wind energy projects because we have to protect the bald eagle 🦅. #watchwhattheydo
The insurance industry is scared of climate change. Their insured losses are going up twice as fast as GDP. Catastrophic reinsurance is only available on a year to year basis. They can’t lock in multi year pricing. What’s happening to your insurance costs? www.cnbc.com/2025/08/08/c...
Global warming is causing sea level rise in 2 ways. One is melting ice and glaciers. But now, a second and more profound reason is drought which causes farmers to drain aquifers. The resulting runoff goes to the sea. The aquifers dry up and the ground sinks. www.propublica.org/article/wate...
If @whitmermi really cared about the promises she made about green energy, she would be working to figure out how to keep them in spite of millions in campaign contributions from utilities and in spite of legislation to give tax breaks to wealthy tech companies. insideclimatenews.org/news/0408202...

Morally, what does it mean if I enjoy a National Park when I know the staff isn’t being paid? There has been talk about noncooperation as the next step in fighting the Trump regime. Do we need to boycott the National Parks to prove that we won’t play his game? www.npr.org/2025/08/04/n...
Trump has given 2 of these 3 biggest air potion my city of Detroit a 2 year extension on meeting the requirements of the Clean Air Act. Meanwhile we have the 6th worst air in the Nation.
