Investments in clean energy supply chains have been booming. The animations below show the surge in investments in the U.S. and the acceleration in investments since 2021. My students @Wellesley and I have been tracking this carefully at the-big-green-machine.com

Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act & Infrastructure Law, the Biden-Harris Administration is making multi-billion dollar investments in clean energy, clean air, and the jobs of the future at least once a week (sometime several per week). They're rarely covered much, and never break through to the public, but they're all important.

Investments in US clean energy manufacturing and supply chains have been mixed since 1/20/25. My research students at @Wellesley and I are tracking it. Here is what has progressed and what has slowed in wind, solar, EV, and battery sectors after Trump 2.0 + 1 month. 1/4

One source we drew upon for that article is this 2009 video from a Tea Party rally against the Waxman-Markey climate bill. The rhetlplaybook was all about the threat climate action posed to an American way of life. Start at minute 1:03. youtube.com/watch?v=gFoJXi…

With over $100 billion dollars flowing into the US’s EV battery supply chain since the IRA was signed (supporting 157 new projects + over 60,000 new jobs), global carmakers have invested in this transition. Going backward would mean stranded assets. x.com/_jay_turner/st…

@HotRockCapital Not sure - we'll be tracking it. Back in 2010-11, some projects went belly up - Solyndra, Fisker, A123. Others, like Tesla and First Solar, were big successes. Ultimately, program was a net benefit to US treasury and economy. energy.gov/sites/default/…

@JesseJenkins Here is my version of @JesseJenkins's controlled experiment. I'm seeing the same thing. I'm excited to watch X fade into the distance as we pedal (you were expecting an EV metaphor, right?) into the future. See you on the Friendly Skies.

Controlled experiment: which social site gets more engagement now? Two versions of the same post, here and on the Friendly Skies. Engagement Over There is now better for both posts (as measured in likes, reposts, quote posts)...
