We need more Lamentors in Ohio. So much oil and gas infrastructure to lament.

Shocking, I know ... if you have not been paying attention. By the way, that building used to hold a lap swimming facility that I used to swim at regularly. But LifeWise bought it and filled in the pool. So even more of a 🖕🖕🖕

Since we can't vote today, the people need to do work Ohio lawmakers ignore. Download a Conserve Ohio data center moratorium referendum petition today and commit to gathering signatures in your home county. Here's why: bit.ly/3PLqB6U @commoncauseohio.bsky.social @ccbecker271.bsky.social

It's like "look--the ozone hole's doing fine, so why was there all that worry" (the ozone hole recovered BECAUSE of policy intervention, i.e. the 1987 Montreal Protocol to ban ozone-depleting chemicals, which Ronald Reagan supported). It's a mendacious fallacy that targets the logically challenged.

Welcome back to sanity. Now help us clean up this problem you caused.

This looks like so much fun. I can't do much of this walk with them but wish I could do it all.

The sheer idiocy is staggering.

Ohio lawmakers built energy policy — gas plant approvals, public land fracking, elimination of community input — on numbers not meeting @pjminterconnection.bsky.social's own revised standard for reliability planning. @jasonsalley.bsky.social substack: bit.ly/4falJCP @ccbecker271.bsky.social

Pension funds need to stop investing in private equity. This is what they do with your retirement funds!

I've got a better idea @nytimes.com. How 'bout we stop digging up and burning fossil fuels 🤔

Cost to Build a Natural Gas-Fired Power Plant Surges by 66% in two years, BNEF Says. The average project expense for a US gas power plant with combined-cycle turbines, the more efficient CCGT type, rose to $2,157 per kilowatt last year from less than $1,500 in 2023. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The world is searching for oil. This summit is looking to get rid of it. The gathering in Colombia marks a breakaway effort to accelerate climate action after years of plodding progress under the United Nations. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Can someone get this to the reactionary centrist "gas is cheap" crew?

Ladies and gentlemen, the party of freedom and small government.

Now THIS is what a true climate conference looks like. 👏 👏👏

This is the point at which you strike and shut down the school until they back off. It doesn’t matter that you’re vulnerable, that they can fire you. This is where you have to draw the line or there is no university left.

Ohio has truly become a petrostate. Here's what we are dealing with: insideclimatenews.org/news/2304202... @saveohioparks.bsky.social @thirdactoh.bsky.social @kentsmith.bsky.social @twrader.bsky.social

What could go wrong? NRC is reportedly way too conservative but DOGE madness is not the path to reform

it's not immediately visible in the US unless you are in DC, where practically everybody is—at maximum—one degree of separation away from someone who got DOGEd

Vivek Ramaswamy LLC is invested with autonomous drone weapon maker Anduril. @nckevns.bsky.social @ohiocapitaljournal.com: bit.ly/4sMIPCm He won't discuss it with a reporter, yet he's running for governor. What's this billionaire hiding? @ccbecker271.bsky.social @amyactonoh.bsky.social

For decades, gas & oil's toxic, often radioactive waste has been injected into Ohio DNR-approved wells. It's spreading for miles, blasting back to the surface or irreversibly contaminating drinking water. Learn more. @propublica.org: bit.ly/4u1IGfp @ccbecker271.bsky.social @spj-posts.bsky.social

Best testimony on data centers I've seen yet. Worth your 4 minutes.

DOGE was foolish and reckless, playing with people's lives snd livelihoods. They need to be self accountable. Take action!

This is sooooo good. Listen up!

The #GreatOhioClimateMarch sounds like lots and lots of fun, and a source of real power!

As Earth Day approaches, Ohioans need to push back against politicians fracking our precious public lands for a buck. Randi Pokladnik for Marietta Times: bit.ly/3PVdfF1 @cleanairmoms-oh.bsky.social @ccbecker271.bsky.social @movca.bsky.social @ohiocitizen.org @peopleoverpetro.bsky.social

This is not lets-propose-this-and-see-what-Congress-says. Their plan is more like USAID: eliminate before Congress can weigh in.

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s. Many of the cities we admire made tough choices regarding cars in the past, and are still making better choices today. Better choices instead of excuses.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

You could have had free universal healthcare this entire time. The money was always there.

In 2025, PUCO approved 2,000 MW of behind-the-meter power and received applications for 2,755 MW of traditional natural gas-operating facilities. What fueled demand? Data centers. @nckevns.bsky.social @ohiocapitaljournal.com: bit.ly/4sQFenF @ccbecker271.bsky.social @davidpepperoh.bsky.social

People don't camp out at a state park to see the glow from frack wells. This is not compatible with the use of the park.
