51 days after I declared the start of #HotFERCSummer, @POTUS announced plans to nominate @wlphillips to @FERC. A speedy confirmation by @EnergyDems will allow us to transition to cleaner, cheaper energy, combat climate change & create jobs. If you ask me, that’s FERCalicious! https://t.co/kz3jNFdT2l
With the help of @theestallion and @Fergie, I started #HotFERCSummer because @FERC needed a 5th commissioner. Today, @POTUS appointed @wlphillips to the commission to help us fight #ClimateChange by transitioning to cleaner, cheaper energy.

This #LaborDay, we remember all who have fought for workers’ rights from the shop floor, in the streets & on the picket line. I proudly supported the PRO Act to strengthen protections for workers—the Senate must act to ensure all workers have the ability to join a union.
Texas’ radical anti-abortion law is a devastating and blatant violation of the rights of all birthing people — and a full-scale assault on patients and health care providers that ripped away access to safe, comprehensive medical care for millions overnight.

4/ In our @ClimateCrisis report, we retained outside experts to calculate the total GHG impact of all our legislation. It was a careful, honest and incomplete calculation.
5/ Careful & honest because we evaluated not just the impact of every piece of legislation we proposed, but also how they interacted with one another. (For example, the impact of a wind PTC is lower if you also have a CES decarbonizing PTC-displaced power)
6/ Incomplete because we did not have the time or protocols in place to evaluate the benefit of legislation that didn't expressly include a change in energy use, so understated the total impact.
7/ For example, legislation to require standard greenhouse gas disclosure by public companies would undoubtedly lower the cost of capital to clean tech and accelerate deployment but we were unable to calculate that impact.
8/ So now shift to where we are today. We are in a rush to craft the details of our infrastructure package. We have a scientific and moral obligation to make sure it slashes CO2 emissions. And yet we have no existing *independent* entity to do that calculation.
9/ And let's be clear: independence matters. There is a reason we have the non-partisan CBO calculate the fiscal impact of bills. The political temptations to tilt subjective judgments one way or the other are too strong. And (let's be honest) the math is complicated.
