We should not concede the narrative that data centers are causing rising electricity prices. The real cause is anti-fossil-fuel policies and bad permitting policies. The admin has reversed some anti-fossil-fuel policies. Now it needs to cut a major permitting reform deal—soon!

We have an electricity availability problem. Data centers should be developed constructively to help solve rising prices, not worsen them. But everyone needs to stop singling out data centers to be punished for price increases caused by anti-fossil-fuel policies.

Data centers, like everything good, require a lot of energy. Stop blaming them for rising electricity prices, which were caused by anti-fossil-fuel policies that artificially restricted our reliable electricity supply. My appearance tonight on FOX Business with Brian Brenberg

Prof. Michael Mann on Donald Trump blaming Canada for wildfire smoke: These forests that are burning in Canada are boreal forests. There are very few people there. They have not been managed historically. This has nothing to do with changes in fire suppression or raking or any of these other things that Trump and these other comedians are talking about. It's because it's hotter and it's drier and it's hotter and it's drier because we've warmed up the planet with fossil fuel burning and carbon pollution. And they don't want us to pay attention to that. That's why we have these antics. They want the story to be ridiculous. The more we're talking about that, the less we're talking about the true culprit, which is climate change, fossil fuel burning. And we have an administration whose environmental policies and energy policies are literally being written by the fossil fuel industry. So why would we expect anything different.

Last week, Kamala Harris spent the first half of the debate reminding all of us just how much she loves fracking and fossil fuel extraction. In fact, the Biden-Harris administration HAS set historic records for fossil fuel extraction, while boasting that they passed the largest climate bill in history. Harris rightly attacks Donald J. Trump for believing that climate change is a hoax, yet she continues to pursue the policies that are making it worse. What else can we say but "What the frack?" We deserve better. Our survival demands that we make better choices at the ballot box:

The government should be ashamed that its migration policies are being cheered on by Tommy Robinson and Reform. Instead of standing up to anti-migrant hate, this is laying the foundations for the far-right. I questioned the Home Secretary on how she can be proposing such obviously cruel policies.

PETROLIUM IS NOT A FOSSIL FUEL Oil is not a fossil fuel. This lie was created by John D. Rockefeller to make it seem as if oil is a finite resource so they could make more money. There are oceans under our feet and the Earth keeps replenishing.

U.S. mineral projects take almost 30 years from discovery to production. If a mine were needed in WWI, today’s permitting delays mean it wouldn’t open until after WWII. America has the resources—now we need the policies to unleash them.

Tess Ingram from UNICEF explains that UNICEF has a desalination plant in Gaza that provides water to people but Israel has cut off the electricity to the plant so it now needs fuel to operate. And guess what? Israel is blocking the entry of fuel into the Gaza strip.

If we are going to talk about nuclear, it should be to point out that it's actually about distracting from fossil fuel expansion and protecting the status quo. @pollyjhemming #auspol
