I was proud to join you, @rebeccakislak.bsky.social, @samzurier.bsky.social, @jenniferboylanri.bsky.social, @climateactionri.org, and so many other Rhode Islanders who take the climate catastrophe seriously 🌞🔥🌡️‼️

Climate Action Rhode Island and state legislators call on the General Assembly to override the Building Benchmarking Bill veto "This year, we got an important part over the finish line on both sides, and what happened?" asked Senator Meghan Kallman. "Governor McKee vetoed it."

It was profoundly irresponsible of Governor Dan McKee to veto the Building Decarbonization Act, one of the biggest pieces of climate legislation to pass the General Assembly in the last few years. We must reconvene for an override as soon as possible.

When Enbridge reps visited Robert Cote's #Burrillville property, he asked what steps they would take to curb noise from the company's gas-pipeline expansion project. He was told his animals could be moved elsewhere during construction. In that moment, he said, he had to walk away. bit.ly/4eu9Iaq=

Monday, June 29, at 11:00 a.m. at the Rhode Island State House — press event to call on the General Assembly to reconvene and override Governor Dan McKee’s veto of the Building Benchmarking and Reporting Act (S2260/H7183).

Gov. Dan McKee vetoed bills that would have required large building owners to track emissions. The move leaves Rhode Island with no clear pathway to lowering greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, which account for about a third of the state's emissions. bit.ly/4eKmYXc

Senator @meghankallman.bsky.social called McKee’s veto “profoundly irresponsible,” saying, “I think it’s shameful.” She said the veto “demonstrates a lack of understanding of the seriousness of the cost of energy" and "a lack of concern about future generations.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/25/m...

Rhode Island is facing a man energy affordability crisis and we are desperate for state leadership to forge our path forward. rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/06/25/m...

Beyond disappointing that Gov McKee vetoed the energy benchmarking legislation. Our energy systems aren’t working for working people & we need to fight for bold system transformation with that in mind. Proud to work with fellow fighters, not folders, Senator Kallman and Representative Kislak.

Media coverage of how #RhodeIsland beat back Governor McKee’s attempt to scrap our 100% x 2033 #renewableenergy standard misses a key aspect: grassroots mobilizations. We at @climateactionri.org turned out a lot of people. And we see that playing an important role. medium.com/@croselund/w...

On Tuesday evening, the Coastal Resource Management Council of Rhode Island (CRMC) unanimously approved the SouthCoast wind project! This #OffshoreWind development has the potential to generate over 2,400 megawatts (MW) of clean energy, or enough to power over one million homes. southcoastwind.com

TOMORROW—Energy storage improves the way we generate, deliver, and consume electricity. It can help balance power supply, lower costs, and support grid reliability and resilience. 🔋⚡️ If you are interested in learning more join us tomorrow for a presentation from Flatiron Energy!

Last night after a 4 1/4 hour hearing, the #RhodeIsland Coastal Resources Management Council approved the SouthCoast Wind #offshorewind project’s permit for state waters. @climateactionri.org’s #YestoWind campaign mobilized 13/14 people who testified in favor. When we show up, we win. /1

The RI CRMC has unanimously approved Southcoast Wind’s application! Thank you to all the supporters who showed up tonight! 👏✨⚡️🌎 #yestowind

Great to see Rhode Island among the 7 states suing to stop the Trump Admin’s deal with TotalEnergies to cancel offshore wind projects (that would deliver clean & affordable energy) in exchange for investing in dirty and volatile fossil fuels. www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

On June 9 at 6 PM, the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) will be holding a hearing for the application by SouthCoast Wind. There will be public comments taken at this hearing and it is critical that supporters of offshore wind show up! actionnetwork.org/events/south...

Energy experts agree: The governor's plan to reduce energy costs is a short-term fix and long-term mistake "...while it may save folks a little bit of money next year... over the life of the programs and into the future for Rhode Island, we’re going to be paying more for energy, not less.”
