I will never spend my time on a show called "Landman." Too many of my friends have been force pooled into fracking or had polluting fossil fuel infrastructure put in next to their land without any consultation or consent.

A helpful thread on nuclear power, why it didn’t work the first time around, and why the tech-bro billionaire class really wants it to anyway.

Republicans are back with their outrageous giveaway to Big Tech. We can’t let that happen. I’ll fight this tooth and nail.

Europe's electricity system is changing rapidly and often in places that don't make the headlines. Look at Estonia - not that long ago and fossil fuels dominated around 90% of electricity generation. Today solar and wind eat more and more into the share of fossil fuel-generated electricity.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Who does this benefit other than the major airline CEOs?

Shame on any politician who takes big bucks to shill for the gas industry. Solar and wind are cheaper, faster, and cleaner than any form of fossil fuels including gas. Carbon emissions directly threaten our economy, and methane emissions are among the worst.

Yet another Ohio bill that would fast track fracking of our state parks even more than it already is, along with weakening the authority of ODNR to regulate fracking. It could not get much more blatant that the oil companies are writing the bills.

Anytime the president of the climate denying Heartland Institute comes to town to testify in favor of a bill, you know that bill is garbage.

In my years working in public interest communications, I learned reporters often have the story they plan to tell already formed in their minds before they contact “sources” and will use—and even shape—what is told to them in the service of that narrative. Peter Coviello testifies to that process:

OH Supreme Court to decide on upholding approval of 6,000-acre Oak Run solar-- a @billgates.bsky.social investor project. @dispatch.com: bit.ly/3JrzsHT We need solar over parking lots, on Ohio flat roofs over schools, warehouses and data centers, too. @ccbecker271.bsky.social

Interview starts about 8 minutes in. The guys at the Hilliard Beacon did a great job! HB 15 has forced a 73 MW gas fuel cell to power a data center on an unsuspecting community with no public hearing - just as I said it would. This will emit 1.45 million lbs of CO2 per day. More here.

Much of what is in Sub SB 219 was already vetoed once when they tried to put it into the budget bill this spring. This is a series of favors for the oil and gas industry at the expense of fracking public lands. If they pass it again, Gov. Mike DeWine needs to veto it again.

This is a great resource for @saveohioparks.bsky.social and anyone else fighting methane extraction in their communities. When they frack Ohio's state parks and public lands, this is where much of the gas will go. Look at the insanity on the Gulf Coast! stand.earth/lng-false-cl...

Here are my three truths about climate: 1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over. 2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets. 3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

The United States could be doing this, but no. Instead we are handing the future to China.

Hey @awscloud.bsky.social Take note

Hilliard resident started citizen petition against world's second-largest fuel cell-powered data center. Amazon, @aepnews.bsky.social and Ohio GOP want 73MW center powered by fracked natural gas: @nbc4i.com: bit.ly/4oppAgI Speak out, Ohio! @ccbecker271.bsky.social @peopleoverpetro.bsky.social

Marietta seeks seismologist to help study drinking water contamination from migrating oil and gas waste from injection wells. News and Sentinel: bit.ly/4qzcmj7 That citizens have to do this speaks volumes about Ohio's "safe" regulation of oil and gas. @ccbecker271.bsky.social @dispatch.com

One thing communities should not have to expect is the world's second largest fracked gas fuel cell next to homes and schools. Yet that's what the people of Hilliard Ohio are getting, thanks to a state legislature pushing gas industry profits over the health of our people.

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

Let's see this happen with pension funds in the United States! They also invest a lot of money in fossil fuels.

Ohio lawmakers should NOT permit fracked gas power plants to power Amazon, AEP data centers. Ohio needs a sane energy plan-- including renewables. @ccbecker271.bsky.social @ohiocapitaljournal.com: bit.ly/4qpHnpP @nickieantonio.bsky.social @kentksmith.bsky.social @twrader.bsky.social

I mean when is the last time that a privately funded army caused any trouble right?

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Hey Vanguard, PLEASE create a fossil-free target date fund. People want that. They're leaving your funds because you don't have this option.
