I'm a regulatory policy analyst and advocate for clean energy. Solar is the cheapest electricity on Earth, and batteries are solar's superpower. Trump and the GOP want to kill clean energy, which is beyond stupid and tragic.
Bob Kuttner's latest on the shutdown is brutal on the Senate Cave Caucus. He also has some reporting on the House, where nearly all Democrats will oppose this and maximize pressure on Mike Johnson to find the votes.

Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave.
They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.

Super valuable resource from Third Act & Nancy LaPlaca (@laplacanancy.bsky.social): 10 Renewable Energy Myths Debunked. We especially like Myth #6 - Renewable energy is too expensive: Since 2020, solar electricity has been considered the cheapest electricity on the Earth ☀️⬇️
Over the past decade, the cost of solar has dropped by 90%! Not only is solar electricity now the cheapest source of energy, it is reliable, requires no water, will create (rather than kill) jobs, and can be recycled.
