The brave people of the United States are holding massive protests nationwide against the Trump regime, despite threats from the regime and its cult MAGA followers.
The people have declared enough is enough, restore democracy, justice, and remove Trump. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsDay

This is a watershed moment for Texas - for the first time ever, solar supplied more electricity than coal in 2025.
I will say it again: At this rate, TX will likely decarbonize its electricity sector faster than CA.
TX clean electricity is growing at 13%,m more than twice that of CA's at 6%.

Texas solar power surpassed coal in 2025 for the first year ever. Here's why.
In 2025 — for the first year ever — solar arrays provided more electricity to Texas’ main power grid than coal-fired power plants.

It can be done safely, but it can also be done unsafely and I'm hoping most people will choose to do it safely.
