✨Personal news: my role @energyintel is expanding. I’m now a Low Carbon Technology Reporter, adding nuclear to a beat covering hydrogen, CCS, DAC, geothermal, biofuels etc. I’ll be relocating to NYC later this year to focus more on low-carbon finance and policy.

That means we are hiring for a role covering the nuclear fuel space and low carbon tech out of the Houston Bureau. Happy to answer questions and I urge you to apply. Fascinating time to be covering energy! #careers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">energyintel.com/about-us#caree…

@small_asher @nytimes Congratulations!!

Excited to share that I’m joining @nytimes. I’m on staff for a six-month assignment examining police and security in Texas schools. I’ve been freelancing on the project for the past few months and thrilled to join in a more official capacity. ✉️: asher.lehrer-small@nytimes.com

Only a few states require public schools to develop plans for evacuating students with disabilities in an emergency, even as schools across the country face increasing risks from climate-related disasters and school shootings. Read my latest story: nytimes.com/2025/08/25/us/…

I’m just going to say this. @maryjpitzl is the type of journalist I’ve always strived to be. Fearless, diligent and kind in pursuit of the truth. She’s not the type you buy out if producing quality journalism is your top priority.

Life is a highway but a Houston highway where no one really knows what they’re doing and you have to go fast to survive and also sometimes you hit a surprise pothole and go flying

Happy Thursday everyone.

The Trump administration's decision to cancel the already-under-construction Empire Wind project adds a whole new level of project risk with wider ramifications... Read more > bit.ly/3S3DjeF

BIG news: Forest Service says in 60 days it will publish the Draft Record of Decision for the Resolution Copper mine, effectively approving it. This is the mine the San Carlos Apace and environmentalists have fought for decades. The mine would destroy the sacred site of Oak Flat

sending love to the journalists at the houston landing. the @HTXLandingUnion fought to have a thriving newsroom where they could do important work. the landing closing is a loss for the whole community. houston badly needs more accountability and this certainly won't help.
