As both coasts of the US experience the effects of hurricanes simultaneously, don't forget that disasters (and how we respond to them) have become political: danarfisher.com/2026/10/10/h...

46% of states that voted for Harris got FEMA aid 85% of Trump states did Blue states waited much longer for the aid they got. This is anathema not FEMA.

No one should’ve surprised that the Trump Administration is exempting fossil fuel projects from environmental review. Anyone who is believing these guys and making deals to bundle clean energy in a permitting bill should be questioned. thehill.com/policy/energ...

This weekend we will see what a Hurricane looks like on the East Coast of the US in 2026. Hurricane Isaias is traveling over very warm waters in the Gulf (estimated as more than 2 degrees above average for October), which can lead to more flooding. www.npr.org/2026/10/08/g...

Isaias strengthens into the first hurricane of the Atlantic season

Tropical Storm Isaias is now the first Atlantic hurricane of 2026 — and it's spinning toward the southeastern U.S.

I thought this might be an exaggeration, but no! Despite all the talk of technology neutrality, it appears the permitting reform proposal would weaponize claims for federal damages — but in practice, only for fossil fuels.

While this is the current reality, the idea that state officials have to prepare for the scenario that the federal government deploys armed officials to intimidate voters is just 🤯 A friendly reminder: Democracy requires free and fair elections. www.washingtonsun.com/campaigns/st...

My thoughts on the permitting reform bill being discussed everywhere. TL;DR: "this deal provides clear evidence that the US system is not designed to represent the people’s interests and not prepared to protect us from the dangers of our warming world." danarfisher.com/2026/10/03/w...

"The best we can do in this current system is make compromises that expand clean energy capacity while simultaneously building out more fossil fuel infrastructure... This will not give "people the power they deserve in our democracy, nor will it address the climate crisis at the level it requires."
