Trump just told me at the White House podium that he is not going to approve any wind turbines, despite the bipartisan permitting bill that is about to be voted on in the Senate

Trump, moments before the permitting reform bill heads to the floor for a key procedural vote: “The bill hasn’t been fully negotiated." “I will not approve wind turbines because wind turbines are a major loser.”

The U.S.-Iran crisis is giving renewable energy a boost in emerging countries (ex-China) as oil and gas importers seek home-grown energy sources to boost their national security. It’s not just solar and wind, but also biofuels. @IEA annual review: iea.org/reports/renewables-2…

Why Texas really matters. It's set to overtake Virginia as the dominant states for data center. And much of the projects still in early stage (which means, they can be stopped). h/t Derrick Flakoll (BNEF). blinks.bloomberg.com/news/st…

The voters have spoken, and I want to extend my congratulations to James Talarico on his election to the U.S. Senate. I look forward to meeting him and offering my assistance with his transition as he prepares to serve Texans in the U.S. Senate.

The infamous NYT needle, meanwhile, has Andrews at 93% likelihood in South Carolina and Talarico at 75% in Texas. That would, with North Carolina, put Dems within one of flipping the Senate (if they hold Michigan).

Annie Andrews now over 90% chance on Kalshi and Polymarket. If that holds, shocker of the night so far and potential sign of blue tsunami.

Odds of a Democratic takeover of Congress are soaring on betting markets as votes are counted. Odds of a Democratic Senate were about 75% around 6 pm and now are at 91% in Kalshi and 95% in Polymarket. Odds of a GOP House have collapsed to 1% in Polymarket and 2% on Kalshi
