Why Biden-era clean energy investment policies had limited political returns | PNAS The Biden Administration enacted the largest federal policy framework to incentivize clean energy and decarbonization in U.S. history. We examine w...

Fascinating new research paper asks: why did Biden receive so little political credit for his enormous investments in manufacturing? Turns out people give all the credit to governors (ironically, in this case, mostly red-state governors who were hostile to the policy!).

Yes, and also, "Sometimes people do awful things, and they often don't even know why they do it, so we still have to be kind and do good anyway."

OK I finally read the Verge piece on Stancil and god it's f'ing annoying. I can't believe an editor let it through.

I've been cranking numbers. Full year 2025, it looks like nuclear power just about kept its nose ahead of wind and solar. But in H2 2025, while wind didn't quite overtake nuclear, solar did. In 2026 nuclear will drop to third place in the production of clean electricity.

@johnsmillie42.bsky.social are private sector fusion start-ups hoping to provide grid power by 2040?

Just read a fascinating Nat Geo article on ITER, our species most complex machine, being built in France with the hope of a net-positive fusion reaction.

Inspiring story... but given the learnings in electrotech how will 2040's fusion power (optimistic timeline) fit into that ecosystem?

What’s driving up Maine’s energy bills? Natural gas. A new report finds more renewable energy could help make electricity more affordable, despite efforts to scapegoat clean power for rising costs.

What’s driving up Maine’s power bills? The state says natural gas is the top culprit.
