The modern GOP is ideologically committed to smashing the clean energy revolution. Climate people need to digest this. We won't win climate stability w bipartisan deals. Lasting climate wins will require green economic populism: beating the right until it concedes. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

The House budget bill that narrowly passed in an early morning vote on Thursday would effectively put the brakes on a clean energy production boom in the United States spurred by tax credits enacted in 2022.

I was so happy to have @js-tan.bsky.social back on the show to discuss what he saw at Microsoft and the wider ties between tech and the oil industry that too often get ignored. Once again, the tech companies are not our friends.

Obama and Biden had way more success stimulating fossil fuel production than entrenching green energy. They both gambled that supporting fossil fuels was politically necessary to sustain the green transition. And they both handed power to Trump. We have to learn from these failures.
