Big surprise: Ohio and Indiana, two red states home to communities that may not be predisposed to the climate benefits of clean energy, are suddenly top-5 states for solar.

Los Angeles is moving to end oil drilling within city limits.
On Wednesday, the city voted to ban new wells and phase out existing wells over the next 20 years, further pitting the city and state against the Trump admin's push to expand oil and gas:

Two neighbors live less than 2,000 feet apart.
One pays up to $500/month for electricity. The other averages $130.
One has investor-owned National Grid. The other, a municipal utility.

Fusion has moved beyond the question of whether the physics can work.
Now comes the harder test: Can companies build commercial power plants cheaply enough to compete with solar, batteries, gas and nuclear?
@willwwade and I dug into the economics:

“We know it works. Now it’s a matter of scaling up.” Companies are racing to prove fusion technology can finally move beyond the lab and become an abundant clean power source.

The sheer scale of the Himalayan deluge shocked even climate scientists. I spoke to some this week who explained in great detail why it won't be the last. And why it's so hard to predict where they'll happen next.

I’ve lived here 6.5 years and been to a few dozen Dodgers games in that time.
Not once have I gotten the impression that Dodgers fans aren’t die-hards.
I moved to Los Angeles 14 years ago and absolutely love it. I have also traveled around the country and attended more sporting events than I could possibly count. LA is not a sports town in any sense of the word. It is an entertainment town. A high proportion of residents grew up elsewhere rooting for other teams. If a team is competing for championships and playing a big game the people will turn lot. If it’s not they won’t. In many places the fans are true for hards. There is fluctuation but they pretty much show up regardless. Very few people in LA die hard for their teams. They just find something else to do. Pretty simple.

President Trump’s latest move to shun foreign solar power equipment is part of his effort to rebuild US manufacturing clout. It may simultaneously exacerbate the fast-widening green technology split between the US and the rest of the world. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
