Meanwhile @GovernorShapiro is blocking clean energy progress and extending life of coal plants with his buddy in the White House. Coal. In the 21st century.

Battery storage is now the fastest-growing power tech on Earth. 108 GW added in 2025, dominated by #lithium. More than gas ever managed in a single year. This isn’t a gentle transition. It’s replacement. Storage is scaling. Gas is peaking. #LFP is winning. #Bettrification scales. iea.org/reports/global…

For the first time in history clean energy (solar wind, nuclear) met the entire growth (~850TWh) in global electricity (2025). Fossil generation was flat last year.

For those who haven't followed this: This outfit went to the likes of box stores, & said "Hey, here's a shiny penny if you sell us 'energy efficiency credits', a concept we invented, but anyways they represent the intangible attributes of energy efficiency emergent from those lightbulbs you are selling" Box Store VP: "wtf are you talking about but, free money, ok??" Then the outfit turned around and sold that intangible credit as capacity (an intangible commodity!) in PJM.

Hands Off Chicago ran focus groups in Feb. on voters' views of ICE & CBP. A new report shows the ferocity of their feelings. On Stephen Miller: "Evil person behind the idiot" "fascist worm" On Bovino: "Short man syndrome" "Nazi in a jacket" On Noem: "total fascist"

Pretty astonishing. In Texas, between 10:00 am and 4:00 p.m., 80-90% of electricity comes from carbon free sources. And storage is already a significant contributor in the early morning and evening

Delighted to announce @basepowerco has received its first state license to operate as an electricity retailer outside Texas. We're heading to Illinois! Thank you @ILCommerceComm for approving our application! Let me explain why we're heading to the Land of Lincoln🧵

Thank you, Illinois. Tonight’s message is clear – we’re ready to take our democracy back into our own hands.

👀 New polling released today - views of data centers dramatically increase when powered by clean energy. Voters support data centers powered by clean energy by a +25 point margin and strongly oppose those powered by fossil fuels by a 16 point margin. climatepower.us/wp-content/upl…

Scoop: Pritzker is planning to call for a two-year pause in tax incentives for data centers in today's SOTS address. He wants Illinois agencies to more deeply study data centers' impact on the state's energy grid, consumers and the economy. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

The typical IL gas customer uses about 26% less gas than a decade ago. Yet residential gas bills continue to rise year after year. Fixed delivery charges & gas system costs now outweigh efficiency gains, locking in higher bills for households. Learn more: static1.squarespace.com/static/66709b1…

We really cannot normalize hyperscalers buying power from existing nuclear or hydro and calling it good! If we do, they will all stop doing the real, hard work of investing in the new clean supply we need to truly meet their soaring demand without exploding either utility bills or emissions.
Jesse D. Jenkins@JesseJenkins

.@Meta's big nuclear power purchase today containts laudible elements plus a DEEPLY PROBLEMATIC one: the purchase of 2.1 gigawatts of power — enough to meet ~10% of Ohio's entire electricity usage! — from two EXISTING nuclear power plants, which will do nothing but increase emissions AND electricity rates for PJM customers already grappling with huge bill increases, all while establishing a very dangerous precedent for the whole industry. Let me explain why...

Yes, yes we did. This is a blueprint for other states - and we can save people money on their utility bills starting *this political cycle*

HUGE set of deals announced this morning by Meta for purchasing nuclear power. - 2.6 GW from Vistra including 2.1 GW of existing capacity from 2 plants in Ohio by end 2026. - +433 MW of uprates across the two Ohio plants + PA plant by 2034 ⁃ 1.2 GW from Oklo by 2034 with first phase online by 2030, site prep to begin this year (!) - 690 MW from Terra Power (Bill Gates backed sodium cooled reactor startup) by 2032, six more units later PPAs for the Vistra units support license extensions which Vistra claims would not be economic without Meta support

I broke down on Volts how we passed an massive new clean energy bill in IL: 💸 Affordability- clean energy reduces utility bills ⬆️ Leadership- IL is *doubling down* on clean energy in large part thanks to @JBPritzker 🙌 Stakeholders - Working with organized labor is key

@TKavulla And @nrgenergy’s latest swing-and-a-miss attempt to derail clean energy progress in IL and preserve soaring capacity revenues for its growing fossil fleet. Big profits but still haven’t cleaned up #coalash groundwater contamination in IL communities….
