Why Is Gov. Gavin Newsom Blocking Rooftop Solar in California?

/

By any measure, California’s green energy transition has been a wild success. Two-thirds of its energy needs are now met by a mixture of renewables like wind and solar, alongside nuclear and geothermal, while the national average is 20 percent. In the last two decades, the state’s green energy output has grown by 43 percent, […]

“Never Again Means Never Again for Anyone”: An Interview With Sim Kern

/

Sim Kern never set out to become a face of anti-Zionist Judaism—the English teacher turned science fiction author and “BookTok”-er was just in the right place at the right time. Facing, as the October 7 attacks unfolded, a social media feed they described as embodying “two contradictory realities” about Palestine —one in which Palestinians were […]

The Republicans Kneecapped America’s Clean Energy Sector. Now Trump Aims to Squash It.

/

The deficit-boosting bill President Donald Trump signed into law last Friday included provisions that will undermine US clean energy development. Indeed, a team led by Princeton energy expert Jesse Jenkins estimates that it will reduce US solar and wind output by at least 300 gigawatts by 2035—enough to power some 225 million homes. But some […]

Senate Version of “Beautiful” Bill Will “Kill” America’s Clean Energy Sector, Experts Say

/

The Senate version of President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” unveiled to the public at Midnight on Friday, went even further than the House version in its hostility toward the nation’s burgeoning renewable energy sector. The House version merely seeks to end the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) subsidies for wind and solar development enacted […]

Boosted By Trump, Banks Resume Their Love Affair With Fossil Fuels

/

For the first time since 2021—the start of the Biden administration—banks have ramped up their financing of fossil fuel projects, a changing tide that reflects the Trump White House’s close ties to and energetic support for Big Oil.

The Critical Research That Unlocks Our Climate’s Past and Future May Be on Thin Ice

/

To the untrained eye, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Ice Core Facility in Lakewood, Colorado, doesn’t look like much: a boxy brick building packed with shelves of ice-filled metallic cylinders 10 centimeters in diameter. But to the more than 100 scientists who pull from its frozen records annually, it’s a treasure trove of information on […]

The “nonprofit killer” is back—this time tucked into congressional Republicans’ aggressive new tax proposal, which they’ve dubbed the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill.” For those who forgot: In November, the House of Representatives passed HR 9495, or the “Stop Terror Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act,” which would give the Secretary of the Treasury […]
