Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

A coal-fired plant in #Michigan was supposed to close. But Trump forced it to keep running at $1M a day. The community had big plans for the facility site, until the Trump administration ordered it to stay open, a move it extended this week. grist.org/energy/a-coa... #Coal #Energy #Policy

Good morning with good news: US solar surged 31% to monthly record high of 43.7 TWh in July 2025, up from 32.9 TWh in July 2024. Solar rose 10x from July 2015 (4.11 TWh) to July 2025. Solar was a record high 11% of US electricity in May 2025 & 9.47% this July. It was 1.2% in July 2015. #energysky

sure sounds like there's a line of eager developers? "The Commission also noted that there was evidence of strong developer interest in the area, indicated by the presence of approximately 2,400 megawatts (MWs) of planned renewable generation in the NYISO’s interconnection planning queue."

Deleting 1,000 emails would have a carbon benefit of about five grams CO2e. Using a laptop for 30 minutes to delete those emails would emit about 28 grams of CO2e. Destroying the corporations responsible for climate collapse would be so much more fun and effective.

🔌💡Next step: when do we get utilities offering window heat pumps (like Gradient and Midea) with small, built-in batteries (like Copper stove), automatically enrolled in VPP upon purchase, and so discounted to reflect VPP value to utility?
The Lightning Dolt (@jonofgreenjuice.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks for reading, Chloe! I agree -- I kinda buried it at the end, but even Lorenzo Kristov thinks we can only get to 40-70% DER coverage, the rest will need to come from top-down sources. I've also gotten some good feedback on VPPs today... might just have to do a follow-up :)
