One of the most successful environmental agreements of all time, signed by Ronald Reagan in the US.

Learning from past successes is a key to solving todayโ€™s issues.

Count me in the โ€œno temper tantrumโ€ caucus.

Iโ€™ve been describing candidates I like as serious legislators who do the tough work of governing. Thatโ€™s not praise to some of the delegates.

โ€œYou can โ€˜fight,โ€™ or you can do the job of legislating. You can't do both. There are things you canโ€™t accomplish if you're not willing to deliberate, to engage in give and take, to build consensus beyond the party line.โ€

Not what the delegates want to hear, but absolutely right.

I know which gubernatorial campaign this was. Iโ€™ve seen their behavior before. And they will not be getting my vote.

Natural Gas - 40% average (60% for combined cycle)
Solar - 23%
Wind - 34%
Nuclear - 93%
Hydro - 34%
Geothermal - 70%

All of this.

Of course technology can solve the problem. It's the only thing that can at the scale required.

These other things are nice to have, and may also make people's lives better, but no amount of them will get emissions to zero.

Love this new U.S. Department of Energy transmission permitting rule! Something that seems unnoticed: its changes - to designate a lead agency, collaborate on a single environmental review doc, limit the process to 2 years - were all maligned NEPA reforms passed in the debt ceiling deal ๐Ÿค”

Today's SCOTUS argument illuminated Trump's views of the office of the presidency--completely unbounded by meaningful accountability for crimes and abuses. The conservative legal movement should be as up in arms about this as it would be by SCOTUS 'legislating from the bench.'
