NM cruised past lofty renewables goal well ahead of 2030 timeline with largest utility already delivering 80% clean energy — a strong model for other states despite learning curve. "you can lead with clean energy...as you grow and diversify your economy.” bit.ly/4zExoQY

Do you understand how bad you have to mess up for major outlets to be doing primetime interviews with DEMOCRATIC candidates for THE TEXAS RAILROAD COMMISSION
The only color I saw on Saturday night was burnt orange. Glad to speak with @jaketapper tonight on CNN.

This is the Republican nominee for statewide office. Are other Republican elected officials going to condemn the intolerance and racism, or look the other way while it becomes normalized. This is how great political parties self-destruct. Sad.
I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

It was an honor to be at the Washington National Cathedral today to pay tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham. I got to know him in another era of American politics, when we worked together on market-based solutions for a cleaner climate... 1/2

Last week OMB Director Vought lied to my face when he said they don’t use politics in funding decisions. Now we have proof. In court, the Trump admin admits they based decisions on who the states voted for President. That’s a disgusting abuse of power.

Kari’s daughter passed from a rare brain tumor following her exposure to a toxic chemical in their community. Experiences like theirs underscore why strong chemical protections are essential—& what’s at risk if the Toxic Substances Control Act is weakened. edf.org/ZuZN

The art of the deal: pay billions of dollars to take offshore wind farms offline then pay hundreds of millions of more to prop up coal plants teapawt.net/jenniferjjacobs/status…
Trump at 3 pm today will announce $700 million for 13 current coal plants plus two new ones, sources told @saraecook @RichardEscobedo and me. He's using Defense Production Act. @CBSNews

44% of U.S. adults worry a great deal about global warming or climate change, among the highest in Gallup's full trend since 1989, along with 46% measured in 2020 and 45% in 2017.

Everyone loses when our government denies science and dismantles health and safety protections. The EPA exists to safeguard our health and wellbeing. So why is Administrator Lee Zeldin opening a conference of extreme climate deniers? The Trump administration's actions are leading to higher energy prices, more pollution and more toxic chemicals in our lives. They're playing games with our lives, and we're all paying the price.

Trump is paying a foreign company nearly $1 BILLION of YOUR money to stop building wind farms in America that would have lowered your electricity bills. He lost in court FIVE times trying to kill these projects that would have powered over a million homes. So he decided to buy his way out of it instead. Yes, you heard that right. The President of the United States is literally spending your tax dollars to make your energy bills more expensive. nytimes.com/2026/03/23/clima…

Former Goldman Sachs CEO tonight on EVs with Bill Maher: Bill: "Once you have one (EV) it seems barbaric to go to a gas station." Lloyd: "I want to get into a car, know I can drive 300 miles and don't have to have my fingers crossed that I can recharge it and don't have it take 2 hours." Bill: "Lloyd, mine goes 360 (miles)."

Today, I joined Active Solar Development for the ribbon cutting on a new community solar project in Phillipsburg. When we talk about solar, we’re not just talking about clean energy – we’re talking about affordability and lower electric bills for working families. My Administration is hard at work, lowering utility costs and providing much needed relief to New Jerseyans. To lower prices long-term, we need to increase supply – and that is exactly what this site will do.

When Donald Trump forces zombie coal plants to stay open, he’s forcing customers to pay twice. Stealing money from hard working families isn’t “great” in my book.
