The Administration is blocking new sources of clean energy from being built, & canceling grid resilience investments, all while AI is spiking energy demand. Because supply is restricted & demand is going up, prices are going up. It's a crisis, as I said on #WITHPod podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The future is clean energy, but right now the administration is using the government to slow down clean energy at a time when we need all the new clean power supplies we can get. They are trying to make solar & wind basically illegal. It’s a crisis, as I said on #WITHPod: youtu.be/f6536KWBZAc?...

As I said on #WITHpod, the Administration is like a cartoon villain throwing thumbtacks in the road impeding renewable energy. Demand is up from AI, and they are artificially restricting supply and making clean energy functionally illegal to build. It's a crisis. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Something I needed reminding of after listening to this episode of #withpod (@[email protected]) is that the "subsidies" much argued about are roughly equivalent to the MASSIVE tax benefit employers get for paying for part of health insurance costs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsSV...

If we want affordable, clean, equitable, and resilient electricity, then we need to be paying attention to State Utility Commissioner elections and appointments, as I said on #WITHpod here: open.spotify.com/episode/32ps...

Thank you! Here's the source for what I said on #WITHpod: "There are six states in the United States where data centres already consume over 10% of the electricity supply, with Virginia leading at 25%." www.iea.org/reports/ener... Listen to the podcast here: open.spotify.com/episode/32ps...

I got to talk about this very issue on #WITHpod with @chrislhayes.bsky.social. An electricity cost crisis is coming. We need efficiency, smart technologies and policies, resilient infrastructure, and lots of clean energy. open.spotify.com/episode/32ps...

I talked about rising electricity bills & the need for clean electrification on #WITHpod with @chrislhayes.bsky.social. AI & data centers are spiking electricity demand, & the Administration is restricting the building of renewable energy. Prices are going up. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=f653...
