Suzie Wiles needs some help thinking of ideas to lower gas prices. Any suggestions? How about:
• Don't bomb Iran.
• Restore fuel economy standards.
• Offer rebates to people who want an EV but can't yet afford one.
Grid investment is rising fast. BloombergNEF reports record spending in 2025 of 470 to 483 billion US dollars, up 17 percent on 2024. That is the second year of double digit growth.
This reflects structural change: more renewables, electrified transport & heating + rising demand from data centres.
Despite President Trump's promises to lower costs, nearly 4.2 million, or 82% of electric utility customers in Michigan, will pay more for electricity this year thanks to new Trump administration policies. https://ampr.gs/4rpFjOE
Right - the IEA should just kick them out and sort out their funding from elsewhere.
The US will just keep on bullying until the IEA becomes a drooling brain dead cheerleader for fossil fuels. It won't ever stop. Anything less than saying NO the first time is just compounding loss
EPA faces lawsuit over climate endangerment withdrawal
Medical and environmental groups challenged the EPA’s decision to rescind a finding that climate change endangers human health
www.scientificamerican.com/article/epa-...
BREAKING NEWS - The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially rescinded the endangerment finding on greenhouse gases, including clean vehicle standards that were on pace to save Americans more than $1 TRILLION in fuel costs.
BREAKING: The Trump administration's EPA rescinded the 2009 endangerment finding that determined that climate pollution is a threat to public health and welfare and is core to much of the climate policy that followed.

President Trump announced that the U.S. will withdraw from the UNFCCC, a foundational international climate agreement. As the U.S. steps back, world leaders and local governments need to continue to strengthen climate action and secure a better future for all.
U.S. can rejoin the Paris Agreement and the UNFCCC on day one of a new administration w/o needing another round of Senate "advice and consent". Read more: www.nrdc.org/bio/jake-sch...
We graded 65 U.S. toilet paper brands on just how sustainable they truly are and found that 29 rely on forest fiber, which drives devastating impacts to essential forests like the boreal in Canada. See how other toilet paper brands scored: https://on.nrdc.org/4rzeYhp

Countries at #COP30 are discussing a potential new #adaptationfinance goal.
I've updated the calculations from our August blog on potential options - removing some scenarios that haven't gained traction and adding others that have.
Good thread from energy expert on why the IEA numbers getting the headlines may be too pessimistic on RE/EVs & to optimistic on oil not peaking!
As climate disasters intensify, this year’s COP30 must turn commitments into action to protect people, build resilient economies, and safeguard the natural systems we all rely on.
A tiny snapshot of the continued climate actions at the Multilateral Development Banks - yes they are still doing stuff even with the headwinds: www.linkedin.com/pulse/state-...
Great news from 🇪🇺 as climate finance numbers are up: In 2024, EU contributed €31.7 billion from public sources and mobilised an additional €11 billion in private finance for developing countries in combating climate change and adapting to its impacts. Source: www.consilium.europa.eu/en/infograph...
Disagree. This is to a whole new level. The US at previous COPs pushed for action that they wanted (as every country does). This is the US govt threatening countries very implicitly (and in some case explicitly) to not support this. Very, very different.

Anyone looking outside their window knows that climate change is here. The real question is why any responsible leader would try so hard to convince us otherwise.
The Kimmel suspension is a much bigger deal than you know.
It's really about a growing alliance between Trump and the companies that own America's local TV stations - like Nexstar - to turn local TV into Trump propaganda.
1/ Let me tell you the short story. It's chilling.

NEW: What’s new with national renewable targets? Not much!
At COP28, every country agreed to work to triple global renewable capacity. But many countries have yet to update their 2030 targets..
Deep-sea mining must be paused until its environmental, sociocultural, and economic risks are understood and alternatives like recycling are explored. We must reduce demand for new mining.
Trump wants America to be affordable and energy dominant, but this new bill "is economic malpractice,” says E2’s Zach Amittay.
As demand surges from AI, manufacturing, and population growth, it cuts credits for the fastest and cheapest energy we have: solar.
