Today on Volts: a recent research commentary argues that the loss of wind & solar tax credits hasn't hurt clean energy as much as feared -- and that, rather than working to restore those tax credits, Dems should focus on permitting & interconnection reform. I discuss it with author Lily Bermel.
Should we feel good about the trajectory of clean energy post-Trump?
A conversation with Lily Bermel.

The post vacation climb back into our political reality means I'm listening to Dire Strait's calming Why Worry on repeat.
I just really wonder when in this dystopian nightmare will certain folks let go of their power and admit that their solutions are no longer relevant.

NEW from @joepeck.co.uk & me @rooseveltinstitute.org: One year after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, we're off track on emissions commitments & tax credits have been pared back. But all is not lost: more clean energy/manufacturing investments are going up than even the original IRA estimates.

It's not one guy, and don't let this slide. There are a lot of authors to this situation. In the past, if there's a recovery, the corporate and billionaire money that's the motive force slips away until there's another opportunity. But like January 6, this has to be the definition of our society.

5/ I predicted a second Trump term would be shrewder about undermining climate action — less "it's a hoax," more bending the politics of a hotter world toward borders and blame. These threats against Canada over smoke are exactly that.

I recently realized that in teens and 20s, I lived in hot hot Delhi. And weather was something i never thought about. At least not in this way, where the heat feels literally debilitating at certain hours.
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 2w agoWith the recent wildfires and heatwaves, a colleague asked her class to raise their hand if they think their lives have been impacted by climate change. Almost no one did because they don't know a world that's different than this. 😭
This is a fabulous interview. Surprised that the reporter repeats the false claim that cities were "stretched" and the border was "overrun". And no mention that there was a bipartisan deal during Biden that got tanked due to partisan interests www.nytimes.com/video/podcas...

I understand why people focused on militarism gravitate towards reducing US international engagement. But when it comes to the economy and broader international interaction, the US *is* going to be involved. It will inevitably be a question of *how* the US engages, not *whether* it does
