Standing room only for EPA employees waiting to hear @andrewrwheeler give his first address to staff in his new role as acting administrator, following the resignation of embattled former chief Scott Pruitt.
@AndrewRWheeler In his 1st address as acting administrator, @AndrewRWheeler ends with jokes -- & an excellent Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference.
Wheeler promises to defend EPA staff, heed their advice & join them in a shared mission of protecting the environment in his first address since taking over agency helm from Scott Pruitt. Career staff were grinning as they streamed out.

Methane: It's the world's simplest hydrocarbon, the primary component of natural gas & a super-potent greenhouse gas.

Today, the EPA proposed easing some Obama-era requirements forcing oil companies to keep a tight lid on it.
The proposal would lessen the frequency of required inspections to hunt for methane leaks, lift a requirement that professional engineers certify some designs & make it easier for companies to deploy new technologies to monitor emissions.

The EPA said its changes would save an estimated $484 million in regulatory costs from 2019 to 2025 -- or $75 million annually.

The Trump administration argues that locking in 2020 fuel-economy & tailpipe standards will save lives, make cars cheaper & speed fleet turnover (as motorists trade in old cars for safer, new models).
bloom.bg/2LWqL8I
Or, as @NHTSAgov Deputy Administrator Heidi King puts it:

"The benefits don't accrue if people don't buy the cars." If you raise the price of cars too much to satisfy ever-more stringent standards, people won't buy them & will "continue to drive around in their old cars."
@NHTSAgov Critics say the administration is relying on funny math & questionable assertions to justify the changes. Luke Tonachel of @NRDC says govt analysis hikes the added costs of meeting the clean-vehicle standards & underestimates the fuel savings.

Breaking: Trump administration officials are making plans to order grid operators to buy electricity from struggling coal and nuclear plants in an effort to extend their life, a move that would represent an unprecedented intervention into U.S. energy markets.
“Federal action is necessary to stop the further premature retirements of fuel-secure generation capacity,” says a 41-page draft memo obtained by Bloomberg and circulated before a National Security Council meeting on the subject Friday.
Memo outlines plan for DOE to direct operators to purchase electricity or generation capacity from facilities at risk of retirement. Government also would establish a "Strategic Electric Generation Reserve" w/ aim of promoting nat'l defense & maximizing domestic energy supplies.

Brennan makes a point that too many in the media seem to miss. We know there was collusion - that's in the public record. We're waiting to hear from Mueller if there is sufficient evidence of conspiracy or other crimes for charges to be brought.

The meeting with the Russians in Trump Tower was collusion. The emails setting it up were clear: the purpose was for the Kremlin to help the Trump campaign by giving them dirt on their opponent.

The meeting participants knew they were colluding. That's why they went to such extreme lengths to hide the meeting's existence from everyone. The press. The public. Law enforcement. Everyone.

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
