2025 was one of the worst years in this country’s history.
We saw more destruction of the norms, traditions and unity of this nation than in any year of my recollection.
I am glad to see the end of it, and pray that 2026 delivers us from the evil visited upon us.

Deep, dirty, and oily pockets fund the disinformation campaign against clean #RenewableEnergy. Why? So that fossil fuel companies can scoop short-term profits while inflicting long-term damage from burning the planet.
If only climate groups had the money and infrastructure to run a $20 million ad campaign, knock on 500,000 doors, and have 1,500 meetings with lawmakers, as right-wing groups do on just one bill to fight for fossil fuels.
![cited as a major victory the passage this summer of the Trump administration's Big Beautiful Bill, a massive tax cut bill
predominately benefiting America's wealthiest citizens that included deep cuts to clean energy tax credits brought in under President
Joe Biden.
The Koch political group ran a $20 million advertising and political campaign that it claimed "helped make this win possible through over 1,500 meetings with lawmakers, nearly 500,000 doors knocked, more than 475,000 phone calls, 725+ community events Land] over 100,000 letters sent to Congress."
AFP presented the bill as a victory for fossil fuels. "It provides for a minimum of 30 offshore oll and gas lease sales, its analyst Burns said in an advertisement posted on the group's Facebook page. "And it makes available for lease four million acres of recoverable coal resources](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xalxqffcayyidntafmptzhta/bafkreidy326hrg2en5whq37t4xyglqgnyoef73wzupvqk7vyk7mhnjb36a@jpeg)

And Canada has taken its eye off the ball under Carney, rolling back nearly all of our #decarbonization efforts in less than a year only to double down on Oil & Gas production in the most cynical episode of bait & switch I've ever seen - e.g., phony policies like 'decarbonized' oil & carbon capture.
