And, this remarkable news: H2 bubble over & gas industry out of a plausible future. "Most energy companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland are planning to reduce investments in their gas grids." Decline of natural gas is here, start planning its end. www.cleanenergywire.org/news/utiliti...

This week we made history. Last major coal plant powering California turned off. And, world's 4th lrgst economy is humming along. Did not happen by accident-it happened because of tenacious people power, incl. Sierra Club & Michael Bloomberg. Back when was announced: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9cO...

If you come for my people, you come through me.

Put a fork in it. Closing coal plants in CA and WY. “The cost of our [WY] coal units has had a huge impact on the price that customers pay,” Eskelsen said. www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/natural-reso...

The same week Trump Administration announces efforts to revive the coal industry, the last coal plant in New England closes. They are so incompetent. www.concordmonitor.com/2025/09/29/c...

Heating our homes with natural gas comes with explosion risk, something that happens way too often. abc7chicago.com/post/natural...

Good. Worst example of terrible biomass policy. @mikegrunwald.bsky.social

Great retort to the "more, more" crowd and folks who should know better than peddle dreams like CCS on every smokestack. Thank you.

Own goal Wyoming. Less money for schools, transition, everything. "Forecasters: Big Beautiful Bill will cost Wyoming $50M in coal royalties - WyoFile" wyofile.com/forecasters-...

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

Good news: the largest state in the country, which is all on its own the 4th largest economy in the world (having recently overtaken Japan), now gets the largest amount of its electricity from solar, and that trend is set to continue.

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.” www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

Good news from Poland!! “Poland’s clean energy usage overtakes coal for first time” on.ft.com/3GxsNKu

Ireland 🇮🇪 is kicking off a summer of European #coal plant closures and has officially eliminated coal from its electricity mix with the closure of its Moneypoint plant! Wind energy now powers more than a third of its electricity and is central to Ireland’s coal phase-out.

This and also the 100% carbon free electricity by 2040, one of the most ambitious clean energy standards in the country #MelissaHortman

In six years solar power has gone from 3.3% of global late Spring power generation to 10.7%. Data @ember-energy.org

Greece is turning its back on coal and replacing it with solar and wind

Official thoughts on the stupidity of the administration’s gutting of manufacturing investments:

Fascinating. "End new gas hob installations within ten years, say NGOs – AirQualityNews" airqualitynews.com/health/end-n...

While you were sleeping, House Republicans rammed through a bill that kills rooftop solar, clean manufacturing, heat pumps for everyday Americans, clean energy projects, and funding to cut pollution. Now it's up to the Senate to stop this bill from jacking up energy bills and torching the economy.

Thank you! Showtime.

The oil and gas industry is trying to block our access to clean vehicles, much like coal industry tried to block our access to clean energy by killing Waxman Markey - the coal industry ultimately lost, oil and gas will too.

58 years, bedrock of modern envtl policy, strengthened by President Bush 1, now repealed at behest of oil/gas industry.

I’ve been thinking a lot about various nudges, policies, and technologies that could get us to eat less meat, and I must admit I didn’t think of making meat super-dangerous.

One of the hardest things to make people realize is what didn't happen. "Implemented policies to date are likely to have reduced global emissions by several billion tons of CO2eq per year...."

Careful -- China had previously said they would do this....far more impt is what the heck the reduction goal is and whether it is anywhere close to aligning w zero in 3 decades. I.e. they need 30+% reduction by 2035. That wld be significant.

Look at this killing, in our name. "Over the same period in Nevada, the appellate cortcounted that Wildlife Services also killed 19,031 ravens, 239 badgers, 120 mountain lions, 24 foxes, 20 bobcats and seven black bears." subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

ICYMI - Trump admin canceled a multi-billion offshore wind project this week "It should send alarm bells, not just to the offshore wind industry, but to industries beyond offshore wind. That the federal government could choose to stop projects that had been approved and are underway at their whim."

This is an embarrassment UNC. Burning coal in 2025? www.wral.com/news/state/s...

Beautiful dying coal. planetdetroit.org/2025/04/trum... DTE’s Monroe coal plant is “quickly approaching the end of its lifecycle” and will retire by 2032; DTE still plans to retire its Belle River plant by 2026; and Consumers Energy is closing Campbell plant this year, its last remaining coal plant.

Great work! @berkeleyca.gov’s new clean homes policy is official! At point of sale, all homes must have: ✅ Heat pumps ✅ Solar power ✅ Healthy indoor air ✅ Shared costs ✅ Lower energy use This is what bold local climate leadership to build healthier communities looks like.

This @jeffstein.bsky.social assessment of what Trump wants w his tariff negotiations says a lot about Big Tech's new alliance with MAGA and the fossil fuel industry: "More natural gas purchases from American firms." "Lower taxes on Silicon Valley tech giants." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

It is pretty horrific to see hospitals - of all places - seeking to be exempt from all-electric building requirements (like MD did last week). We know it can be done - CA is building its third all-electric hospital. hconews.com/2025/04/09/c...

And so it finally happened. Zero carbon electricity exceeded coal and natural gas for the first time. This is what a fossil fuel phaseout looks like. #keepgoing

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.
