Politico is closing E&E News, the standalone but increasingly integrated energy reporting outfit it bought in 2020. The move is part of a reorganization to expand energy-focused coverage, and doesn’t include (more) layoffs, @maxtani.bsky.social

Residents of Monterey Park, CA, voted overwhelmingly to ban data centers. legal-planet.org/2026/06/03/o... via @evanlgeorge.bsky.social

There is one primary race where the loser is already clear: data centers. The Drain is a weekly roundup of environmental and climate news
If you advised climate voters in California to vote for either Katie Porter or Tom Steyer or you double endorsed both candidates, do you regret it?
E&E News folding is confirmation that Politico newsroom leaders "aren't committed to the specialized reporting that E&E's readership wants" longtime ex-E&E reporter David Ferris writes. "So farewell to a great publication that didn't have to die. It was killed." www.linkedin.com/posts/david-...
“Pride in the past, Faith in the future,” is the official motto of the city of Monterey Park. That future will not include data centers. Residents have so far voted more than 86% in favor of Measure NDC to permanently ban data centers.
Pretty cool that a progressive running toward—not away from—the climate crisis won nearly 2 million votes for governor. Too bad a Trump-endorsed Republican got 2.1 million. The general election could have been a real and vigorous debate about what can make life healthier and more affordable in CA.
