“Today’s gasoline-fueled cars and trucks waste around 80% of the energy that gets pumped into their gas tanks. Electric vehicles operate with only around 11% energy loss, meaning that most of the energy that goes into the car ends up turning the wheels.”

They’re just much more efficient.

Thank you🙏to all the members of Congress who called out the Trump Administration for his attacks on energy workers⚡!

Thank you, 🙏🏼 Reps. Garamendi and Simon, for speaking up for the rights of energy workers. 20 MOC’s who signed a letter condemning the Trump Administration’s actions. Read on: ➡️➡️➡️ Many of Trump’s executive actions risk energy workers’ lives and livelihoods. Because energy jobs are hazardous, workers deserve strong safeguards. Trump’s executive actions undermine these safeguards by trying to: ➡️➡️➡️ Defund NIOSH, which develops new health and safety standards. Curtail OSHA’s enforcement capability in high-risk industries. End black lung services for coal miners. Attempt to dissolve the Chemical Safety Board, which investigates major industrial accidents. Use “national security” to bypass Clean Air Act standards at refineries and coal plants. Defund EPA environmental justice programs and cutting agency staff. Render the the National Labor Relations Board inoperable. These actions are indefensible, as they slow the growth of clean energy infrastructure, make energy jobs more dangerous and our communities less livable. Thank you for speaking up for the rights of energy workers and supporting climate justice in our communities. 🌎🌍🌏

I read EPA’s 302-page proposal to nuke the endangered endangerment finding so that you don’t have to, and wrote about what the insanity all means for @climateconnections.bsky.social.

Right out of the gate, President Trump has made a flurry of (mostly bad) moves on energy & environmental issues. Some are worth paying attention to, and some aren't.

Here's a great roundup by @ameliadavidson.bsky.social, & we've got some thoughts... 🧵
