This is a lie. The Oregon coast is actually ugly and you should definitely not move there. It rains all the time and Oregonians are bad drivers.

I’m already bored of Blue Sky. Maybe I’m just not a social media person? Can’t seem to get the algorithm to show me anything besides rants about Trump policies or random pet photos. Is that all that is happening in the world?

Looks like we might have roughly 30 minutes without a presidential administration, what can we get done? Permitting reform anyone?

Trump won largely thanks to America's outrage about inflation & rising costs. Yet repealing clean energy policies enhanced/expanded by the Inflation Reduction Act as Trump proposes could raise avg household energy costs by up to $489/year @rhodiumgroup.bsky.social finds rhg.com/research/tru... 🤔 🔌💡

Here's what happens to average US household energy costs if Trump follows through on plans to repeal and roll back Biden Admin clean energy policies. These are NOT small changes in energy costs, especially if IRA tax credits are repealed. Via @rhodiumgroup.bsky.social rhg.com/research/tru... 🔌💡

I’m disappointed to see this. Climate action should not be a teeter totter dependent upon who sits in the White House. No matter what your politics you are still affected!
