this is an…unbelievable paragraph. yeah, what could be the difference between the court overturning a duly-passed and signed law and the court overturning an executive memo that violates the law?

EVs made up over 60% of all vehicles sold by Chinese automakers in July, and 50% year-to-date, both for the first time. They reached a 68% share of domestic passenger car sales and over 50% of vehicle exports.

The IRA was good policy. And it would have been better -- and had faster & more dramatic results -- if not constrained & blunted by the idiosyncratic assholery of one dimwit egotistical senator. Just because it couldn't stop a global tsunami of discontent doesn't mean it "didn't work."

"Davis, the government says, has attended and facilitated meetings about protests and discussed his anti-authoritarian ideology with other activists. He is not accused of violent acts, taking any specific actions at protests nor having any encounters with ICE agents. He is facing 6 years in prison."

NYC has both a very powerful executive and a frankly enormous amount of fiscal capacity relative to any other city or even most state governorships. I think more blue state Dems should think about ways to concentrate power and expand their jurisdictions fiscal capacity!

Yes, there are about 250 million cars and SUVs in the U.S. that nearly all run on gasoline and they make about 1,000 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year and they stay on the road for 12-20+ years.

Throughout U.S. history, and starting immediately upon the publication of the Declaration, those excluded from the promise of equal status and participation read Jefferson’s words not just as a statement of lofty principles, but as a call to action, an emancipatory agenda to be enacted.

Our research confirms this. Climate change increases the need for air conditioning for people to not die in heat waves. We need clean energy. We need efficient buildings. We need green infrastructure. We need more of this that most folks can imagine. We should start building it all right now.

If you don't occasionally drink it, this is probably true. Also, remember olive oil is a kind of fruit juice: you should keep it fresh, use it promptly, and don't "save" the good stuff for a couple years on the top shelf.

1/ AI is driving a major buildout of data centers and corresponding increase in electricity demand. How utilities, regulators, hyperscalers, and cities respond will affect household electricity costs, emissions, and grid reliability for decades. The wrong approach will raise energy bills. 🧵

The fact Trump is turning to Pulte shows some combination of: * the bench is incredibly thin * he does not think DNI is a real job * he only trusts absolute loyalists, and that circle is small Its a measure of a weak and dysfunctional personalist regime.
