Wow. Bold GHG reduction targets out of CA @AirResources today. 48% below 1990 by 2030, 85% by 2045. Will need 2x power gen and 90% cut in liquid petroleum to achieve. That means a lot of #DERs and probably some form of low-carbon liquid fuel. kqed.org/science/1980792/a-r…

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

It's a new tab on the same spreadsheet as my Infrastructure bill summary, so you can see them all in one place

McCarthy has the floor. Everyone go get a coffee, or two, or twenty (or more?) for the next “minute”
In honor of today’s vote on the #InflationReductionAct, I pulled out the suit I wore the day the House passed Waxman-Markey. It’s been a long time coming! Many thanks to everyone whose many years of hard work made this happen!

I also want to give a shout to those who got me started in Climate: @JayInslee, @bethowa2, @BrianBonlender, @SamTRicketts, @JaBradbury, and many others. Glad to have started the journey with you, and looking forward to what lies ahead. ONWARD!

Senate passage is a big step and good reason to be happy today! 😁That being said, I’m reserving celebrations until this baby is actually signed into law.

It'll take me a little while, but yes, a spreadsheet for the energy & climate sections of #InflationReductionAct is coming. Hoping the House won't make any substantive changes. 😬
