Reminder: The cost of the sun and wind will never increase because of conflict. While oil prices rise by almost 50% in the U.S. - sunlight remains free and abundant, forever. ☀️

America and Israel are in essence waging chemical war in Iran, filling the air above its metropolis with toxic smoke after lighting its oil storage depots on fire. How is anyone supposed to "rise up" when they can't breathe? open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Electrify the Triad: switching out gas heat, stoves, and hot water appliances for electric versions; installing EV chargers; and increasing efficiency — all steps to reduce fossil-fuel combustion, improve indoor quality, and lower household bills. www.canarymedia.com/articles/ele...

… and just like a pack of cigarettes, fossil fuels should come with a warning label: MAY CAUSE GLOBAL CONFLICTS AND DOES CAUSE CLIMATE BREAKDOWN #GoodClimateNews #FossilFuelAdsMakeMeSick https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260217-the-cities-banning-fossil-fuel-adverts

“How quickly the Earth continues to warm ultimately depends on how rapidly we reduce global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels to zero”

When people across the Tennessee Valley came together to build the Tennessee Valley Authority, they weren’t just building dams and power lines — they were building public opportunity. Help us remind the TVA board that public power belongs to the people. TVA is not for sale! https://loom.ly/GDF1W2w

"So the U.S. war against Iran is making a strong case for nations around the world to seek energy independence. And for those nations that don’t have large fossil fuel reserves, that means wind and solar"

It's publication day! (I signed 240 of these yesterday, before an event with the inimitable Jeff Chang, at San Francisco's Booksmith at the Internet Archive).

The Coastal Plain is a 1.56-million-acre national treasure — sacred ground where the Porcupine caribou herd gives birth, migratory birds flock from all around the globe, and polar bears build their dens. The Trump administration wants to drill there. We can't let that happen ➡️ bit.ly/3MyKNYb

“The #Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has prioritized this destructive and dangerous #pipeline over the safety and health of its own communities,” said Will Harlan, Southeast Director at the Center for Biological Diversity.

We seem to be nearing the heart of the story, and a lot will depend on the nerve of the journalists--NPR, the NYT, etc--to stay on this story relentlessly. Will they give it the same kind of coverage they gave Biden's age--i.e., full bore, around the clock, 50 opeds? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

@michaelemann.bsky.social on the increase in intensity in winds & snow fall amounts in nor’easters: "...we expect to see that increase as long as we continue to warm up the planet by burning fossil fuels and putting carbon pollution into the atmosphere." www.democracynow.org/2026/2/24/no...

The Supreme Court has decided to hear a major climate case against fossil fuel companies Alito has not recused himself, despite owning nearly $200,000 in fossil fuel stocks—including in Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips, which are being sued in cases that would be directly affected by a SCOTUS ruling

“Joy is an act of resistance.” Or, as Rebecca Solnit wrote in Hope in the Dark, “Joy doesn't betray but sustains activism. And when you face a politics that aspires to make you fearful, alienated and isolated, joy is a fine initial act of insurrection."

"financial institute that a company chooses to partner with may be their largest source of indirect emissions"

Soon, the #VA legislature will vote on bills that could determine what kind of impact the data center industry has on our communities, our 🩺 & our electric grid. Tell yr legislators: Put communities and the environment before data centers! #VALeg https://loom.ly/5gbJMXM#VA

“For the Corps to endorse unchecked expansion of methane pipelines while the wounds from repeat flooding due to climate chaos are still raw across our region is unconscionable and immoral.” @powhr.org's @baristanomics.blog appvoices.org/2026/02/20/s...

“TVA already found these coal plants to be uneconomical & unreliable, & that hasn’t changed just because the administration wants to keep coal online. For TVA to take this action without public input is contrary to the public power model these new board members all recently affirmed." — Leah McCord

It is just fair. Why should taxpayers pay for what fossil fuel polluters cause? "Why do the proposals continue to multiply despite steadfast federal opposition? Because the law and the science are both on their side, proponents say. And because it’s just fair." www.canarymedia.com/articles/cli...
