Every time its windy just think power prices are going down! Wind in New England hit a new record of 1.58 GW at 3:45 PM on November 1. (via www.gridstatus.io)

Local win for Southcoast Wind! The Rhode Island Energy Facility Siting Board just unanimously approved the wind farm’s application for a key cable laying. After years of permitting, this is a major milestone for the project. Thank you to everyone who said #yestowind and our clean energy future!

Big news: the #RhodeIsland Energy Facilities Siting Board approved the 1200 MW SouthCoast Wind #offshorewind project. SCW will be the 3rd OSW project to sell (some) power to RI utilities when the contract is finalized. We're still a ways from steel in the water, but this was an important step. /1

Analyses suggest that offshore wind could lower overall energy costs for ratepayers by displacing more expensive fossil fuel power plants. New England's power grid also relies on offshore wind developments to meet rising energy demands. Read more: www.providencejournal.com/story/news/e...

Tomorrow, the City of Newport is hosting a Public Educational Workshop on what a Natural Gas Moratorium would mean for Aquidneck Island. Attend to learn more about how we can transition away from fossil fuels towards clean energy. Where: Newport City Hall When: Wednesday, Oct 29 at 5:30 p.m.

Climate Action Rhode Island is pleased to announce a dual endorsement of two candidates for Providence City Council in Ward 2: Dave Caldwell and Jill Davidson. Read our full statement here: world.350.org/rhodeisland/...

Join us next week for a conversation with @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social Rep Morales will be sharing his comprehensive vision to make Providence a more climate resilient city for all our neighbors, and we'll discuss how we can advocate for climate solutions. actionnetwork.org/events/cari-...

Over 30k people showed up for No Kings Day yesterday. Indivisible chapters and so many others came together to build the biggest protest in RI History. Seeing everyone showing up was proof that there's hope for American democracy yet! indivisiblerhodeisland.org @steveahlquist.bsky.social

Thank state leadership for speaking out against the Revolution Wind stop work order! By thanking these leaders, we send a clear message: Rhode Islanders want clean energy, good jobs, and energy security — and we notice when our representatives fight for us. actionnetwork.org/letters/than...

Here in #RhodeIsland we are proud to support Revolution Wind - clean energy and union jobs - a winning combination! @climatejobs.bsky.social @riaflcio.bsky.social @climateactionri.org

Some good news today! ☀️ A federal judge ruled that Revolution Wind can get back to work! Ørsted says work on the 80% complete project will restart as soon as possible. #offshorewind #revolutionwind www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

And later in the day, we at @climateactionri.org will be at #Providence 's own Steel Yard to celebrate the remarkable progress of #cleanenergy, joined by @geconsumers.bsky.social, installer NE Solar, and many others. This one is a family- and kid-friendly event. /2 actionnetwork.org/events/sun-d...

Looking forward to attending 2 #SunDay events tomorrow. As the 1st, we'll be touring the New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal where workers are assembling the Vineyard Wind project, which will be largest #offshorewind farm in the Western Hemisphere when complete./1 actionnetwork.org/events/sunda...

☀️ Have you RSVP-d for our Sun Day event yet? Join us this Sunday at The Steel Yard in Providence to celebrate clean energy! We'll have an EV showcase, Q&A with heat pump and solar installers, kid-friendly crafts, and more! ☀️ actionnetwork.org/events/sun-d...

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at one of the nation’s most important clean energy ports! Tour the New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal this Sun Day! 🌞 #sunday #offshorewind actionnetwork.org/events/sunda...

We’re joining with events across the nation to celebrate the power of solar and wind energy! Sun Day Rhode Island is a family-friendly community event that will highlight the power of the sun and wind through art, play, and hands-on learning. Visit actionnetwork.org/events/sun-d... to RSVP! #sunday

Let’s be clear. This will raise costs. 95% of new power on the grid last year was clean energy. It essentially all came in below the grid price. Suppress it, and the grid must bring on even higher-priced units, raising costs for consumers. Trump-flation in action.

Today Rhode Island put words to action, our AG Neronha will be joining with Connecticut to challenge Trumps unlawful stop work order.

Climate Action Rhode Island’s statement in response to RI AG Neronha filing a joint legal challenge with Connecticut in response to Trumps stop work order of Revolution Wind. #revolutionwind #neronha #offshorewind

Days before #LaborDay, Trump dealt a sharp blow to workers and families by killing 1000 good and local jobs. Despite overwhelming support for offshore wind, Trump revoked work permits for Revolution Wind — we should be adding more of these jobs, not taking them away. #yestowind yestowind.com

Climate Action Rhode Island’s "Yes to Wind" rally draws big crowd in rebuke to Trump "This is about the fight," said AG Peter Neronha. "If you don’t have fire in your belly, we can’t beat Trump. So keep that fire. Fight for wind, fight for what’s right, and fight for Rhode Island!”

Great to see 100-150 people show up last night in Newport, #RhodeIsland to support the Revolution Wind #offshorewind project that the Trump Regime has illegally ordered to stop work. #Trump is making war on our ability to decarb & contain high power prices & people in our state are mad as Hell. /1

Couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Thank you so much to all our incredible speakers who spoke up in support of offshore wind today.

At 5:30PM today, join us at Queen Anne Square in Newport to support Revolution Wind actionnetwork.org/events/yes-t...

#RhodeIsland supports Revolution Wind. Outrageous that Republicans shut down this important project, wasting tax payer money, & jeopardizing our progress towards energy independence #ClimateAction #CleanEnergy #ClimateJobs @climateactionri.org @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social @riaflcio.bsky.social

Christian Roselund, Climate Action RI’s Yes to Wind Team lead spoke with NBC10 WJAR on Trump’s stop work order for Revolution Wind.

Statement on Revolution Wind stop work order from CARI’s Yes to Wind team: #yestowind #revolutionwind

billions in investments, 70% complete, and they’re stopping it for literally no valid reason. 😡

Tonight I will be traveling to Newport to support local members of @climateactionri.org who are testifying in favor of a ban on new gas hookups on Aquidneck Island. We have to get off #fossilgas to meet state #ActonClimate targets. And building all-electric is the cheapest way to get there. /1

Want to say no to natural gas expansion? Nows your chance. The RI Energy Facility Siting Board is conducting a public hearing TODAY at 6:00 pm at Innovate Newport on a Potential Natural Gas Moratorium On Aquidneck Island.

Join us tomorrow! Learn about Big Oil's insidious efforts to expand fossil fuels in our state during a climate crisis and how we're fighting back — and how you can join us!

A funeral for the 19 bills endorsed by Climate Action Rhode Island this year that did not pass “Join me now in a final farewell to our recently departed bills and in recognition of all these bills would have accomplished.” steveahlquist.substack.com/p/a-funeral-...

It was a bad year for environmental legislation, with dozens of different bills failing to pass out of the House or Senate (or both). Advocates on Sunday gathered to mourn what was the worst year for environmental priorities in the legislature since the Act on Climate passed.

Senate Republicans just passed the worst environmental law in U.S. history. Oil CEOs will start cracking open the champagne on their yachts. The rest of us will have higher prices, fewer jobs, more heat waves, and worse climate disasters. Here are the details ➡️

You’re invited to our annual Summer Fundraiser Picnic! A day to connect, celebrate our progress, and look ahead together. 🌎 Enjoy picnic fare, live music, raffle prizes, and more — all in support of our efforts to take action on climate change in Rhode Island. actionnetwork.org/ticketed_eve...

Yesterday we gathered at the State House to pay our last respects for our dearly departed legislative bills, and to not let their passing go unmarked.
