It would be tone deaf if Congress makes it easier to build data centers right after an election with bipartisan rage against shoving them down the throats of local communities.
The Senate's bipartisan permit reform bill would upend the National Environmental Policy Act and also weaken the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act. My legal analysis: scholarship.law.columbia.edu…

Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran.
Who stands to benefit? The richest of the rich.
Who stands to lose? All of us who have to pay higher prices for energy and a new round of sellers' inflation.

I've seen strong critiques of the @mattyglesias op ed, most notably @SeanCasten's. Another point worth making: The whole essay hinges on the failure to take climate change seriously. Thread:

Trump declaring an "energy emergency" aggregating power so as to ram through unnecessary & deadly fossil-fuel development, is all the more infuriating becuz the Dems have refused to declare a climate emergency, leaving the space wide open for occupation by authoritarian interests

Powerful article about my pardon request to President Biden just posted on @RollingStone. With only 2 days left in his term, the President must act with urgency. 👊⬇️

Thanks to @prem_thakker and @zeteo_news for the excellent reporting on my pardon request.🙏⬇️
A record number of politicians are urging Joe Biden to pardon Steven Donziger—a lawyer who was attacked & disbarred after helping win a $9.5 billion suit against Chevron for thousands of Ecuadorians harmed by oil waste in the Amazon.
Biden has 3 days left.zeteo.com/p/democrats-press-…

President Biden just commuted the sentences of 1,500 people and pardoned 39 others. Happy for them, but disappointed I did not make the cut.
There are 40 days left in Biden’s term — please help me and the Amazon communities deliver justice to Chevron.⤵️ xitter.gq/SDonziger/status/18673…

BREAKING: A stunning 34 members of the US Congress — including @aoc, @berniesanders, and @repmcgovern — have sent a letter to President Biden calling on him to pardon me after I was targeted by Chevron with the nation’s first corporate prosecution. Grateful.

An equitable & publicly managed fossil fuel wind-down is possible.

.@KennethNanaAmo1: Korea, the world is watching. On December 10th, Korea can either join other countries in agreeing on a historic deal to end export finance for fossil fuels or hold back clean energy progress.
Which will it be @moefkorea_eng @MOTIEKoreaEng @MOFAkr_eng?
Stephen Kretzmann retweeted
A historic deal to shift $41 billion per year out of fossil fuels to clean energy could be agreed tomorrow IF Türkiye stops blocking. @RTErdogan, @HMBakanligi - Türkiye must join with other countries & agree on an OECD deal to #StopFundingFossils: tinyurl.com/328knjeh

It's gonna get ugly. But there are cracks in the armor. In a world of overreach, shameless corruption, and unscrupulous pursuits of power, there are vulnerabilities to be exploited. With a loving jab at my Wolverines, it helps to know their game plan.

We recently published internal docs showing the o&g industry's roadmap for a Trump admin. Corporations got the trifecta they wanted. But they also highlighted the risks of R control.
Industry knows many of their policies are *deeply* unpopular, creating real vulnerabilities🔽

The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals.
This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.

I'm deeply concerned about the recent push by 18 African nations to seek $5 billion for a new fossil fuel project lender.
This is a critical moment for our continent. We are at the centre of the ongoing climate crisis. Africa cannot continue to be a platform where fossil fuel interests are advanced, while African communities suffer
