An incredible and well-deserved honor for the amazing @bkeefee2.   I am grateful for his leadership and his tireless work to " make clean energy and climate action nonpartisan again” as we strive to tackle the greatest challenge of our lifetime.  Congratulations!

Solar power is cheap. Solar power is reliable. Solar power is popular...even amongst Trump-supporting voters! #WednesdayWisdom on.e2.org/3ZhDzuo According to @Ben_Geman at @Axios, 68% of respondents agree with the statement: "[W]e need all forms of electricity generation, including utility solar, to be built to lower electricity costs."

@JessePeltan am sure you saw this but incredible compilation of great information in this @NewYorker article

Critics say President Trump's megabill amounts to an abject surrender in the battle for the future of energy. The consequences for U.S. jobs, electricity prices and the AI arms race could reverberate for decades. axios.com/2025/07/01/tru…

Another big statement against the Senate bill. The trade union representing 860,000 electrical workers says the bill will cost "hundreds of thousands of good-paying construction jobs." I hadn't seen this statement reported anywhere else.

As it stands, the budget bill would worsen the energy outlook for reliability & affordability, and harm our economic competitiveness & growth. It's the opposite of abundance or dominance; it would result in energy scarcity, inflation, and submission. 1/ youtube.com/watch?v=mgXIoe…

We need as many business leaders as possible to send a clear message that repealing or rescinding clean energy tax credits is reckless for our economy. Here is how to add your voice. nwmd.social/s/twitter/4AuO…

This is how you kill an industry - and our energy security. Surprise Tax in G.O.P. Bill Could Cripple Wind and Solar Power nytimes.com/2025/06/29/cli… via @NYTimes

Wow, the trade union that represents America’s 3 million construction workers just said the Senate’s big bill would be “the biggest job-killing bill in our country’s history.” They think it threatens up to 1.75 million construction jobs.

🇺🇸UNION CHIEF TORCHES GOP’S “BEAUTIFUL BILL” AS A WORKER BETRAYAL NABTU President Sean McGarvey says the bill is “a massive insult” to over 3 million construction workers. "Our three million members are ready, willing, and able to build this country into the world's undisputed energy superpower. But this bill taxes their jobs away and undermines that mission. Critical infrastructure projects essential to that future are being sacrificed at the altar of ideology. We are especially outraged because all of this, all of these job losses for hardworking Americans, is being done for one reason only: to make room for more tax breaks for the wealthiest corporations and individuals in America."

Wow Tillis on floor just criticized GOP moving wind/solar credits to strict "placed in service" standard. Appeared to criticize Alex Epstein, who influenced the language. Tillis called him "a self-described philosopher" who's "never worked in an operational role" in power sector

Powerful remarks from @SenThomTillis - making clear the Senate bill will create major problems in the energy market, lead to job losses and project failures. Impacting the likes of @Walmart and other major US companies.

BECAUSE OF SOLAR.

This @theallinpod is 💯 @chamath @friedberg The Senate was ready to fix this—but now might fumble our generation’s Manhattan Project. Terminating energy tax credits for projects not placed in service by 2028? It’s like they want higher electric bills and us to lose to China.

The United States is about to walk off the field, ceding a major economic lever for the 21st century to China. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's peak demand time right now in Texas. A thousand megawatts of gas & coal plants have gone offline TODAY, more than 10,000 total. Plenty of power bc solar is cranking out >23,000 megawatts ON PEAK. Your policy is one of energy subtraction that will hurt grid reliability and raise costs.

@AlecStapp Right up there with this one.

Increasingly think this might be the most important chart in the world right now
