I don’t want this in my country. It’s a violation of the social contract.







Gas prices are out of control, community-based hospitals are closing in rural America and the Trump Tariffs have made your life more expensive. Things aren’t going well in this era of far right extremism. Thank you for your attention to this matter.



Rhode Island Senator Sheldon WhiteClub loves to falsely tell the public that offshore wind is the cheapest form of energy. He couldn’t be more wrong with his numbers. It’s no great mystery why he didn’t want to engage at today’s Senate EPW hearing regarding his bonkers logic (beyond asking me a dumb question of whether “18” is more than “9”). He knew I came loaded with receipts and my explanation dissecting his math and comparing energy sources would have made him look far more foolish than the purple haired lady on Monday. Kudos to Utah Senator John Curtis for wanting to actually engage on this important topic more substantively. Here’s the issue for Senator WhiteClub: He deliberately omits much of the other costs of wind, including the cost of “firming”, which is necessary to convert wind into a dispatchable power supply. Because the wind doesn’t always blow, there is a cost of storing it. When you look at the costs of an energy source, it’s important to look at the “all-in” numbers, and if you are trying to get educated on this stuff, don’t let your brain waste space on any info from WhiteClub.
