American businesses and consumers need policy solutions to ensure the U.S. can accelerate deployment of affordable, reliable homegrown clean energy. Policymakers have an urgent opportunity to deliver by passing yesterday’s deal this year. ceres.org/resources/news/bus…

Hello from the Appalachian Trail! I’m about 725 miles into an attempt to thru-hike the whole thing southbound from Maine to Georgia. I’m posting photos/updates over on Instagram if you want to follow my hike: instagram.com/nick_sobczyk?i…

Personal news: Tomorrow is my last day at Axios. I'm taking some time off work and heading up to Maine next month to start a very long hike on the Appalachian Trail. More on that sometime soon, but in the meantime...

A huge thank you to @bydanielmoore, @ChuckMcCutcheon and tons of others for making Axios a great place to work. It's one of the best places to be in D.C. journalism, and I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to start Pro Energy Policy.

Go work there! Daniel's a great newsletter partner, and I'd recommend my job to anyone who asks. And to my D.C. friends and Senate basement buddies...stay in touch. I'll be back around the energy/climate/environment journalism world soon.

Senate GOP leadership is doubling down on their ability to undo California’s EV mandate through the CRA — despite the GAO & parliamentarian @nick_sobczyk & I reported on Rs thinking on this last week axios.com/2025/05/01/senate-…
Roughly 40% of Americans are subject to California's EV mandate. The Golden State isn't simply setting a stricter standard for itself; it's setting a new national standard. The Senate should use the Congressional Review Act to overturn CA's EV mandate. shorturl.at/ChQTs

Trump admin eyes major cuts to climate research at @NOAA. This would affect weather forecast accuracy in many ways -- the proposal would force the closure of all NOAA weather and climate labs & cooperative institutes. Via @nick_sobczyk axios.com/pro/energy-policy/…

.@RepGarretGraves, a longtime critic of the federal disaster response bureaucracy, says he definitely does not want to be FEMA administrator: "If I did I'd be fired in about a month," he told me.
