Talking to Valeri Goloborodko tonight, Ukraine’s representative in Seattle, I was expressing what Washingtonians believe - we believe in a free, democratic Ukraine. During these four years, our admiration continues to grow. Slava Ukraine.

It is absolutely settled law that the EPA has an obligation to protect us from the harms caused by greenhouse gasses. Trump can neither repeal the law of gravity or the law embodied in the clean air act. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/02/18/r...

As electricity costs go up, Trump tries to stymie half the planned new energy in the country. Killing the competition to fossil fuels is what that industry wanted for their billion they gave to Trump. We pay for his corruption. seia.org/blog/america...

Norman Bates, proprietor of the infamous Bates Motel, knew enough not to use the term β€œpsych” given his unusual personality. Some people say some people don’t have the same self awareness.

Having served with Raul Grijalva and worked with him on environmental matters, it is a particularly joyful to see his daughter Adelita take up his mantle in Congress. I am happy for Raul and the nation. Finally.

MEMO: Rising energy costs dominated the ballot in 2025β€”and created a playbook for Democratic candidates in 2026 | Climate Power Today, Democratic candidates prevailed and won critical elections in New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia and New York City.

As the dust clears, and the Trumpists assemble their wreckage, it becomes more and more clear that a Democrat approach of clean and affordable energy is an indomitable message. Its a winner. Check out this analysis by Climate Power. climatepower.us/news/memo-ri...

Anything good that came out of Congress in the last thirty years that I have been around, had Nancy Pelosi’s leadership behind it. Roll up Lebron James, Steph Curry and Micheal Jordan together and you’d have one Nancy.

In an Upset, Democrats Oust Two Republicans on Georgia’s Utility Board

Huge wins for clean energy in Virginia and New Jersey tonight. The Trumpists attacked on electrical costs - and got clobbered. People didn’t like Trump’s braindead effort to take away clean, affordable energy. This ends any talk of retreat on clean energy.

How climate change is fueling Hurricane Melissa's ferocity The warming of the world's oceans caused by climate change helped double Hurricane Melissa's wind speed in less than 24 hours over the weekend, climate scientists said Monday.

Don’t look at the wreckage in Jamaica without thinking of the wreckage to our clean energy efforts caused by Trump’s hatred of wind and solar energy. More fossil fuel pollution means more intense hurricanes. www.pbs.org/newshour/sci...

The advances in the use of evs worldwide should be sign of solid hope. If China can achieve 50% new sales, there is no reason America cannot amp up its efforts - except that Trump is trying to keep Americans shackled to his cronies’s gas pumps.
