Tonight, voters made history in the Commonwealth. For the first time, every statewide office will be held by leaders who refuse money from Virginia's monopoly utilities, marking a turning point for millions of Virginians who have long paid the price for political corruption and monopoly control.

Abigail Spanberger has won the Virginia governor’s race! Governor-Elect Spanberger has been relentlessly focused on making Virginians’ lives more affordable, and has a plan to expand renewable energy and stop energy bills from going up more. We’re looking forward to her leadership in Richmond!

The U.S. invented these technologies. Then China dominated them.

China is quickly becoming the world's first electro-state, while the US, under Republican rule, has decides to cede the future and double down on its role as a petro-state.
Sobering piece in @nytimes.com compares China's advances in clean energy to the U.S.'s retrenchment in fossil fuels. Hard to read at a moment when the U.S. is giving up on a more affordable, healthier, and more sustainable future.

The clean energy transition is happening faster than we think, and it's crucial to understand how we’re getting there.
From wind to solar, the rise of renewables is gaining what we're calling "escape velocity" — a point where growth becomes unstoppable, even amid political and economic challenges.

If China defeated the US in war and forced us to sign a treaty that would ensure a century of Chinese dominion in science and tech, they'd be smart to force the U.S. to:
- slash scientific grants in half
- reduce foreign students
- gut our manufacturing base
Instead, we're doing it all by choice.
