April 18, 2024

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) announced today that Jeremy Horan has joined the organization as its new Vice President of Government Affairs.

Horan joins ACORE following nearly 20 years of service in the U.S. Congress and executive branch, where he worked extensively to advance and defend clean energy policies. He most recently served as Director of Congressional and Public Affairs for the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security.

“We are thrilled to have Jeremy on our team,” said ACORE President and CEO Ray Long. “Jeremy’s deep government expertise and firsthand understanding of political processes and procedures will be a huge asset for ACORE and its member companies as we continue our efforts to expand America’s clean energy reach.”

Additionally, Lesley Hunter is now serving as ACORE’s Senior Vice President of Policy and Engagement. Hunter has been with the organization for more than 15 years, and in this role will oversee all of ACORE’s policy work and the development of clean energy resources and analysis.

“ACORE is very fortunate to now have such a deep bench working to promote and defend policies that accelerate America’s clean energy transition,” added Long.

Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) Endorses Mike Lindell

Here’s another reminder of how far to the extreme low brow right the American conservative movement has swung.

The only political experience Mike Lindell has comes from his having eagerly accepted Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was rigged with massive voter fraud, for which there is exactly zero evidence.

As a consequence, Lindell is facing multiple lawsuits, including a June 2025 verdict ordering him to pay $2.3 million to a former Dominion Voting Systems employee for defamation. He also faces lawsuits from Smartmatic for defamation and a suit over a $3 million unpaid loan.

That’s it, folks. No experiencing running a small town in Alabama, let alone a state full of well-educated progressives in which Trump lost to Kamala Harris by a full 4% in 2024.

My advice to David:

I doubt this misleading crap is going to work in Dallas County, where voters are relatively well educated and sophisticated.

You’ll need to some place full of real bumpkins, which, in Texas, shouldn’t be too great a challenge.

Losing My Religion

Some may find the claim at left compelling.

But consider Japan, China, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland that are almost completely atheist. The other nations in Western Europe have also steadily moved away from religion.

Have they “lost their countries,” or is this a present-day scare tactic directed by fear-mongers, just as it has been since the Dark Ages?
