You shouldn’t care about either of those things. Where we make things that last for decades once built is vastly less important to NatSec the fuel you have to use (or not) to generate every single kWh. To conflate opex & capex is just to shill for fossil fuel.

Donald Trump’s new 15% global tariff will most greatly benefit countries he has singled out for heavy criticism, including China and Brazil. Long-standing US allies including the UK, the EU and Japan will suffer the largest hit from the new levy. ft.trib.al/O1tXfR7

All the various kinds of revisions add up -- by the end of the year, there were more than a million fewer people employed than previously estimated.

What Energy Secretary Wright gets wrong about the grid Chris Wright trashed solar and wind for not providing much power during Winter Storm Fern β€” and ignored basic facts about how much renewables contribute…

Energy Secretary Chris Wright says wind and solar were "a cost center" and "not actually helpful" for the East Coast grid during Winter Storm Fern. He ignored renewables' year-round value, the Texas solar-battery boom, and winter risks to fossil fuels:

Research Links Extreme Cold Weather in the United States to Arctic Warming - Climate Program Office The study provides insights that could potentially extend the warning lead time of cold extremes in the United States, Canada, and Asia.

Somebody this stupid shouldn’t be president. Maybe some of those scientists that he fired or defunded can explain Arctic amplification to him.

Sen. Hawley put more effort into blocking a power line than defending the Senate’s prerogatives on war powers.

Speaking of IEEPA tariffs, Bloomberg's ace SCOTUS reporter @gregstohr.bsky.social says we can all stand down for a while.

"The court is preparing to begin a four-week recess, and under its usual procedures for releasing opinions, the next potential day for a tariff decision is Feb. 20."

I think there are basically 3 phases to the year:

Now through March/April: Trump stimulus/OBBB vibes
April through June: Fed transition
Second half of the year: Taking the data at face value, preparing for a blue wave

Trump team plans to break up β€˜global mothership’ of climate science Much of the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s non-climate portfolio will be dispersed, the White House says.

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social.

The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others.

I asked ESPN Research and they asked Elias Sports Bureau and they looked back as far as they could (to 1978) and it would appear Jalen Hurts is the first player to ever commit two turnovers in one play. Isn't history beautiful?

The fight tonight was over about $25 billion. Thats about 2.5% of the Defense budget. Would cover a year of the enhanced ACA credits. Republicans said that’s unaffordable.
