The wind is the perfect complement to the sun for energy generation. When the sun goes down the wind comes up. It blows harder in the darker north, and in the winter. They are the dynamic duo, with their faithful assistant the Battery billmckibben.substack.com/p/everyone-k...

Bullshit.

Bulldoze.

Nearly half of wolves in Italy are now part dog, a study shows.

I asked a bunch of analysts, "Does the 9.2 GW gas plant proposed for Ohio make sense?" Every single person, across areas of expertise, gave answers that could be summed up as, "Probably not." And they gave the reasons, one by one. insideclimatenews.org/news/0205202... #energysky

Tarana Burke was incredibly inspiring at tonight's Ms. Foundation gala. Her fearlessness is amazing.

"Farmers and clean energy advocates see a pathway to restore and protect the popular, bipartisan [Rural Energy for America Program] going forward: the latest Farm Bill," reports Kari Lydersen: www.canarymedia.com/articles/foo... 🔌💡

I'm actually a fan of Charles because of his (in some cases, rather bold for a monarch) climate work, but it's a grave error to fluff the Trumps.

Could high gasoline prices lead to an EV sales surge? The reaction is likely to be muted because of recent policy changes and a lack of budget-friendly options, as I write here: insideclimatenews.org/news/1604202...

In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.

As unseasonable heatwaves arrive earlier and earlier in the year, the length of the air conditioning season for energy demand will also grow. Check out March 2026 cooling degree days compared to the historical record for Arizona. Graphic from www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monit...

Powerful @60minutes.bsky.social segment on Leo's Church and the fight to help immigrants and stop war. Impressive, moving and a significant call to action.

Strong but fair and collaborative. This is the way.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Happy Easter. Pope Leo is right. www.cnn.com/2026/04/04/m...

How is it possible that he can still shock me so deeply?

Liverpool actually has tremendous talent on this squad. Arne Slot is getting nothing from this group. He's just not a fit for #LFC - tactically or emotionally (which matters greatly in Merseyside). They need to make a change. #ynwa

Good news for Westchester. Tours of the Tarrytown Lighthouse in Sleepy Hollow are returning this April. This is one of our County’s most unique and historic landmarks, and I’m glad we’re able to reopen it to the public after completing repairs and strengthening security.

"The most fossil fuel-friendly government in recent U.S. history has shown us all just how risky reliance on oil and gas can be — and taught the world that true energy security lies in accelerating toward a cleaner, electrified future," writes @jmingle.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/o... 🔌💡

Kind of incredible how far ahead of the rest of the country California and Texas are on battery storage. CA hit 12 GW of storage on the grid at one point this weekend (42% of load); Texas 8 GW (16%). New York and all of the other ISOs/RTOs are functionally at zero.

Very powerful blog by former NYSERDA staffer Jamie Dickerson. He describes the hard work he, I, and many, many others did on the NY Climate Law, and the need to now show courage and push ahead. @jamiedickerson.bsky.social

“New York cannot keep walking itself up to the start line with a solid plan, only to back out of the race at the last minute.” Interesting perspective here from NYSERDA’s chief of staff during the scoping plan years: acadiacenter.org/climate-and-...

One of the great policy wins of our time. Undisputed at this point.

"Britain's wind farms produced enough electricity to power over 23 million homes yesterday, setting a new maximum generation record that helped squeeze reliance on gas generation at a time when fossil gas prices are continuing to climb." www.businessgreen.com/news/4527607... via Michael Holder 🔌💡

🚨 It’s official: 2026 had the lowest annual maximum Arctic sea ice extent on record - essentially tied with last year’s record low. Climate change is reshaping the Arctic, and it's all throughout the year. For more information from @nsidc.bsky.social: nsidc.org/news-analyse...

Is this AI?

Democrats not in office. Honestly, that's the reason.

Sil: "I'm gonna take action here."

Incumbent German electricity suppliers said in 1993 that renewables could not provide more than 4% of electricity in the long run. In 2025, renewables provided 55.9% of Germany's electricity — 14 times the predicted ceiling.

The greatest player of his era. An immortal. LFC won't be the same.

Pretty amazing statistic - 1% in 2005, 17% last year - despite the disastrous national policy. Challenge now: keep expanding. abcnews.com/US/live-upda...

Hideous.

In the face of record March temperatures, the California ISO grid not only met 100% of demand with WindWaterSolar for part of the day on 3/20 but also smashed a 2-day-old battery peak discharge record with 11.91 GW, meeting 34% of peak demand. All with 60% less fossil gas use in '26 than '23.

"Just as the oil shocks of the 1970s transformed the economies of the then-rich world ... so too will this crisis likely transform how the entire world structures its dependence on oil and gas," writes @zeitlin.bsky.social. An industry-by-industry look: heatmap.news/energy/energ... 🔌💡

I actually thought this had to be fake and I always assume the worst of Donald Trump. There is no bottom.

In the forests of central Mexico, monarch butterfly numbers grew for the second year in a row, suggesting the population has stabilized after years of decline.

"The U.K. government is expected to publish a long-awaited plan to decarbonize new homes next week, with ministers set to mandate low-carbon heating for all new-builds and solar panels on the vast majority," reports @charliecooper8.bsky.social: www.politico.eu/article/uk-g... 🔌💡
