HUGE news in my fight to take on the Trump Tariffs that have been raising prices and wrecking small businesses and farmers. The House voted last night to finally allow votes on legislation to repeal these tariffs. Now let’s get this done and stop these price hikes.

I was hoping for a couple electric vehicle ads at the Super Bowl. Instead, we got Bad Bunny doing a halftime show about the electric grid! Good trade IMO. Climate and culture on America's biggest stage. Read all about it: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/bad-bunny-...

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

This ice “fish-fluencer” wants ICE to get out of Minnesota. Nate Pischke has turned his indignation and outrage about the largest deployment of masked and armed ICE agents in US history into a call for hunters and fishermen to speak out. "Nobody wants these ding dongs in our fucking city."

Toyota funds more climate deniers in Congress than any other car company, and just 1.2% of its U.S. sales were EVs last year. Under pressure from @janefonda.com, Hollywood's leading environmental group is cutting ties with the Japanese automaker: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/hollywood-...

In the continuing saga of CA's plastic law, CalRecycle introduced draft regs re chem recycling based on a report you can't access unless you pay $187 -which is kind of a scam, bc no standards or guidelines are in report. 🤷‍♀️ #plasticwaste @gavinnewsom.bsky.social #SB54 www.latimes.com/environment/...

6 of the top 10 cities with the worst air pollution in America are in California. Did your city make this year's list? From L.A. to Bakersfield, toxic air is a daily reality — and oil drilling is a big reason why.

Shake-up at EPA threatens Energy Star, climate offices

The average American pays: $.62/yr for the National Endowment for the Arts & $1.35/year for the Corp. for Public Broadcasting (< 1 cup of joe) Maybe we should focus on the $3707 average (incl. $6 for space x contracts) we each paid in 2024 towards the military budget!? Perspective much?

Interested to know about a new clean energy project that is now supplying Glendale? The ELAND SOLAR & STORAGE PROJECT is feat. on Sammy Roth's "Boiling Point" Podcast on "Inside LA's Solar Megaproject". He tours the facility in Kern County & tells us all about it! www.latimes.com/boiling-poin...

It would be SO great if we regular folks, business leaders, climate advocates could get back to work concentrating on the ACTUAL threat to humanity...

"His decision means Trump cannot rely on the law to detain or deport any alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua within his district."

@sammyroth.bsky.social highlights potential gutting of LA's Climate Emergency & Mobilization office. The budget crisis is very real, but climate adaptation is now a pillar of need, like police & fire. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Kudos @AGZA (agza.net) & LAUSD @lausdeso.bsky.social on this truly awesome achievement! "LAUSD has achieved Level 2 AGZA Green Zone certification across over 800 campuses as of April 21. This certification means the district has eliminated fossil fuel-powered landscaping equipment and operations."

GOOD - 10 year cut is out, but the provision to cancel credits when home is sold is still in. This needs to GO. Huge opposition. School districts wrote in + low income folks wrote in to debunk the myth re rich people have solar (in 2023, 39% <$100,000 household income. 12% <50K per Berkeley Lab) +

& this is a component of clean energy infrastructure too. Need to smelt it without coal, which besides being the dirtiest energy is also very expensive and why a plant in MO closed last year. Canada supplies 50% now this article says. Make local but with clean energy..too much sense for this prez?

Wish ca net metering cuts had nothing to do with it, but good news for those ready to invest. Best thing we've done getting solar and storage years ago. No blackouts, stay off grid a lot in spring and early summer especially, use battery during peak hours. Energy sage provides lots of good info.

This is a concrete action..let's see if any gop reps' fear of losing their next election trumps their fear of retribution by the psychopath in chief.

We reconstructed how President Trump and President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador struck a deal that led to the deportation of over 200 Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran prison. Here's a timeline starting the day deportation planes took off, even as a federal judge tried to halt them. nyti.ms/4cTzdPT

Taking it personal since I pushed for this ban on gas 2stroke engines which causes outsized harm to air & health in a state with terrible air quality. Fight, CA, for this and the cleaner trucks...for communities, drivers, workers. And keep the strong $ incentives needed to help make the transition!

I feel like I just need a repeating post here. This is nuts. I mean, nerd-class nuts, but still. Again, PJM is seeing LMPs of $100/MWh, driven largely by Dominion's $400/MWh, which are in turn driven largely by $1200-$1400/MWh prices from NoVA's data centers. That's up from $30/MWh.🥜🔩!

Learn More about AB 942. The proposal is to BREAK solar contracts. People bought systems with 20 year payback expected. This bill proposes 10. It's a contract for a reason. Hearing is tomorrow, April 30. NO THANK YOU former SoCal Edison lobbyist turned Assm Calderon. solarrights.org/blog/2025/04...

What kind of BS is this? She's listed as an "exec" on many Edison filings. She was then and is now a schill for the for-profit utilities. Solar has kept energy needs flat for years here, saving $$$ on new projects. Her crap bill that seeks to undermine current solar contracts has a hearing tomorrow.

I'm SO IN!

Keep the data. Keep doing what we know we need to do. Get hired in another country for a while if you have to scientists. While the rest of us work to put this asshat project 2025 administration in the deep past. There is a large hole in a volcano somewhere that has plenty of space.

Hopeful article. This company thought ahead. US panels (First Solar) & trackers (Nextracker). Now if they can pair w/ long duration storage from the US, like Eos zinc-based batteries, that would be golden. Making lemonaide from a shit ton of lemons these days... www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Clearly Texas is on a roll with clean energy installations. They are now second only to my state, CA. "The Lone Star State leads the nation in terms of installed utility-scale solar and wind capacity and is gaining on California for the grid-battery crown." www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

This emissions mapping tool is amazing. What was the red dot cluster? Cattle ranch. What's that red dot? An Airport. Looking for Grayson Power Plant near me now...what great information.

There is a political economy of the IRA in red states & the reason is simple: Clean Energy Jobs☀️ Help us save the clean energy tax credits by calling your congressional member using this tool by @evergreenaction.bsky.social: bit.ly/SaveCleanEne... 25 Republicans are already onboard 🙌🏼 #EnergySky

Trump Is Freezing Money for Clean Energy. Red States Have the Most to Lose. About 80 percent of manufacturing investments spurred by a Biden-era climate law have flowed to Republican districts. Efforts to stop federal payments are already causing pain. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c...

"T1 Energy... headquartered in Austin...will develop an $850 million solar manufacturing facility in Rockdale, about 60 miles east of Austin. There, at the Advanced Manufacturing and Logistix Campus at Sandow Lakes, T1 will build up to 5 gigawatts (GW) of solar cells, creating up to 1,800 jobs..."

"Republican-led districts have reaped the biggest rewards from Biden’s clean energy tax credits, but they’re also taking the biggest hits under Trump. So far, more than $6 billion in projects and over 10,000 jobs have been wiped out in GOP districts alone."

"Texas could lose out on more jobs than any other state if Project 2025’s energy and climate provisions were fully realized" Investing in clean manufacturing insulates our economy from economic competitors, no matter if your state is Red or Blue www.houstonchronicle.com/business/ene...

1 year later…imagine being the senator who voted against 13,543 clean energy jobs (so far!) in your own state.

Repealing the Inflation Reduction Act's clean-energy tax credits would affect some states more than others, with the deep-red state of Texas projected to get hit the hardest:

Hallelujah, praise the Lord…👇 Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

Excellent - a tool to help make polluters pay, use with CA's AB 1243! "They used 1,000 different computer simulations to translate those emissions into changes for Earth’s global average surface temperature by comparing it to a world without that company’s emissions." apnews.com/article/clim...

It's exciting to see us get to almost a 50/50 mix of gas and solar. In 2025, let's tip it over! CA needs to work now on long duration storage and off shore wind. I hope the momentum can continue with dump's anti-climate executive orders, huge tarriffs and with the PUC's anti-solar policy making.

It's great to finally see the first interconnection of City solar. Let's keep going to AT LEAST the 15 MW we have already identified. Kudos to GWP for their work on this thus far and to Solar Optimum for the install.

This is an enormous theft—not just privatizing a government function with a worse and more expensive for-profit substitute, but also a massive government financial data heist—and on the other side of it everyone needs to end up broke and imprisoned to deter them and others from doing it again.

San Diego!

🚨BREAKING: The California Coastal Commission just issued a $18M fine on Sable Offshore Corp. to restore the coastal environment from damage caused by illegal pipeline construction work in Santa Barbara. This is the kind of climate leadership we need! www.independent.com/2025/04/10/s...

Well, we finally got our polystyrene ban passed here in Glendale, CA last year..at least we were ahead of the pack by a few months! Glad the bottom feeder of all plastic is banned in CA now. Thank you to @benallenca.bsky.social & now Congresswoman Laura Friedman etc for your years of work on SB 54.

Good advice in here.

The oil and gas industry spent a record-breaking $65.8 million lobbying California legislators and agencies in 2023 and 2024. That helps explain why PBF Energy likely won't face steep penalties for a recent explosion at its Martinez oil refinery: insideclimatenews.org/news/0602202...

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it won’t order soil testing at properties charred by the fires. This breaks with a long-standing safeguard to ensure no lingering contamination is left behind after fires, my colleague Tony Briscoe reports: www.latimes.com/environment/... @latimes.com
