A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.

But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Yes for EU contingent at #ScotlandDemandsBetter march & rally in Edinburgh!
For the best future for Scotland we must demand #independence and #EUmembership.
Poverty was the main focus of the event: let no-one forget that the main cause of #poverty in Scotland is UK gov policy.

Holding Course, Missing Speed This report analyzes progress by Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) signatories in shifting international public finance from fossil fuels to clean energy in 2024.

Up to 78% of international public fossil fuel finance was slashed by Clean Energy Transition Partnership signatories in 2024 vs pre-CETP levels.

But less than 20% of funds from fossil fuels have been redirected to clean energy.

1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism?
Here is an answer: Good Things.
Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine.
Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it.
The more we build community, the less it can take root.

Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Liquefaction Capacity File, and trade press Note: Export capacity shown is project's baseload capacity. Online dates of LNG export projects under construction are estimates based on trade press. LNG=liquefied natural gas; FLNG=floating liquefied natural gas

In 2025, we expect increases in demand, which includes domestic natural gas consumption and exports, will exceed increases in supply, which includes domestic natural gas production and imports. Consumption and exports increase by almost 3%, or 3.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), in our forecast, outpacing the 1.4 Bcf/d growth in production and imports, leading to a 43% increase in the Henry Hub price. In 2026, we expect demand to continue to grow faster than supply, increasing prices by an additional 27%.

America's demand for fossil gas is set to increase - no, not for stuff like heating homes or the power grid - but almost entirely due to the fact that sending gas overseas is itself a process that consumes HUGE amounts of gas
