This Yglesias piece in the NYT is really bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: nytimes.com/2025/12/18/opi…

Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, is going after USAID, which feeds the poorest people in the world.
Next, he’ll go after the programs that impact you: Medicaid, Medicare, community health centers, Pell Grants, affordable housing.
We can stop him.

This DOE report sounds like bad news for LNG exports.
The industry will try and spin this as "no big deal," but early reporting suggests that the DOE found that exports:
1. Drive up costs
2. Hurt communities
3. Pollute the Climate
Here's why that matters 🧵

Oil and gas companies are using higher energy prices to push for new projects but there is not an energy shortage. We have just added wind & solar capacity +improved efficiencies. Many new projects are for exports & do nothing for energy security or lower domestic energy prices.
The overproduction of LNG is pushing us to the brink of disaster.
The hunger for cheap fuel at any cost is a deep sickness. It’s a race to the bottom that will prove economically ruinous and environmentally devastating.

And…then President #COP29 uses his speech to talk about proud history of oil drilling in Azerbaijan & refers to oil & gas as a “gift of the gods”?! And we are at the global climate negotiations in a year that broke records for heat, fires, violent storms & extreme weather…

🧵 On behalf of 30+ Waterkeeper organizations, Waterkeeper Alliance is proud to submit this statement to the UNFCCC calling for an immediate phase out of fossil fuel extraction. As nations and organizations gather in Baku for @COP29_AZ it’s crucial we pursue ambitious climate arming and protect our planet.

Off to a dubious start #cop29. First Presidency caught making back room fossil fuel deals and now on first day, the presidency managed to get the standards for carbon removals adopted (10:30 pm gavelled through?!) early rather than negotiating the text. 🤦♀️🧵

What an enlightening chat with inspiring climate leaders!
Had the pleasure of speaking at the @climateWWF opening session of #COP29Baku on how to deliver the transition away from fossil fuels, expanding renewables, and improving energy efficiency.

In Europe's parliamentary systems, the Green parties do stuff--pass laws, work on local politics. They don't just show up every 4 years for a vanity run at the top job.
Because they're actually serious, they're calling on Jill Stein to withdraw from the race.

Green parties in Europe are calling for Jill Stein to withdraw.
The race for the White House is too close for comfort. We call on her to withdraw from the race & endorse Kamala Harris for President of the United States.

As usual, @jamieclimate is making complete sense. If you care about the future of our climate, vote Harris, and then get to work getting her to work.
This is for anyone who cares about the climate and is thinking about voting for Jill Stein or RFK Jr. or sitting this election out.
I get your frustration, but I'm asking you: please don't.
Here's why voting for Harris is the best move 🧵

@JeffBezos
Jeff Bezos has forced The Washington Post - the newspaper he owns - to not endorse in a presidential race for the first time 36 years because he’s worried Donald Trump will take away his government contracts.
RETWEET if you think @JeffBezos is a disgrace to democracy!

I'm glad @BBC is covering this, but their framing in the first 20-25 lines is wrong & irresponsible. They emphasize nothing is certain & we could finish up in much better shape if we just try a little harder.
That is not what the report says. Fix it BBC! bbc.com/news/articles/…

@BBC doesn't even see fit to link to the actual report, so people can read it and decide for themselves.
Covering the event, but not the substance. Lazy journalism.
