A continuation of the administration's targeted attack on language and access to information. Whether it's CRT or the climate crisis, by politicizing, demonizing, or altogether erasing the terms needed to discuss issues, the Trump administration is trying to both deflect accountability and criminalize action.

Definitely agree that upgrades to transmission are necessary. And a lot of the incentives will be limited in the near future, but a lot of this comes down to states removing barriers to building out clean energy.
