Good news/bad news. Here’s the bad news — the Paris Agreement isn’t doing enough:
pbs.org/newshour/world…
But here’s the good news: a utility board in California is looking at a 25-year contract for electricity at 1.997¢/kwh for solar energy and 1.3¢ for power from batteries.

That’s the kind of renewable energy pricing that has folks warning about a “carbon asset bubble collapse" affecting the world economy, as the fossil fuel industry tries to lie and bully its way through this predicament.

Hey, it’s worked so far . . . .

The political questions:
bbc.com/news/science-e…
After decades of obstruction, earning them the title of worst climate influencers, will powerful @USChamber and @ShopFloorNAM change their ways?
influencemap.org/report/Trade-A…
After decades of disinterest, will any part of corporate America show up in Congress to push for climate action? So far, even green companies have been almost no help. If we’ve got 18 months, it had better happen fast.

Resigning doesn’t get Wehrum off the hook for ethics violations at @EPA. His efforts to weaken climate rules to favor his polluter former clients will do lasting damage.
As EPA’s head of air policy, Wehrum failed to disclose some former law firm clients, but kept meeting with them! Not allowed.
Case in point: Wehrum used to work for Alliance of Auto Manufacturers; failed to disclose this; at EPA met with them 6 times; then Trump administration froze mileage standards for cars/light trucks. Hmmm.

WATCH NOW: @JudyWoodruff's interview with Iranian FM @JZarif, shot earlier today in New York.
.@JudyWoodruff asks about the US shooting down of an Iranian drone yesterday.

@JZarif: We didn't lose any drones yesterday. So it doesn't look like they shot down one of our drones. Maybe they shot one of their drones.
.@JudyWoodruff: The Trump administration's official line is that the US is not looking for war with Iran. Do you believe that?

@JZarif: No. We didn't come to the Gulf of Mexico. They came to the Persian Gulf. Now they have to watch that they should not undermine our sovereignty.

The National Security Adviser of Afghanistan just told a room full of reporters that U.S. Special Representative Zalmay Khalizad is trying to “delegitimize the Afghan government,” perhaps so he can take it over for himself. Wow.
Afghan NSA @hmohib just now, on the record: “We are told that Ambassador Khalizad is a great diplomat and he knows what he is doing. I’m not sure I buy that because I think he is ostracizing and alienating a very trusted ally and partner.” (There's much more coming...)
More @hmohib on @US4AfghanPeace: “We think either Ambassador Khalizad doesn’t know how to negotiate and there may be other reasons behind what he’s doing. But what he’s doing is not getting a deal that would result in peace in Afghanistan.”
