Hot hearing alert! 🔥 The #Minnesota Public Utilities Commission meets now to debate the Xcel Energy Capacity*Connect proposal to build and own distributed battery storage. Decision expected by 3 PM. Read my initial critique. www.canarymedia.com/articles/dis...

At @solarunitedneighbors.org, in 2025 we helped 32,668 people go solar, protected net metering in 5 states, and built a movement that cannot be stopped. 🔋 Learn more in our Annual Report: solarunitedneighbors.org/about-us/our... #solarpower #batterystorage #virtualpowerplants #energysky

Read this very deep dive from @jakebolster.bsky.social : "you’re not supposed to get a permit...unless you...prove that you can bring the land back to what it was like before mining. Of course, if you don’t follow the science, then that means nothing.” - Shiloh Hernandez at @earthjustice.org #coal

Where did winter go? "Over the 90 days of winter in Sheridan, temperatures breached 60 degrees on 20 different days and 50 degrees on 44 days." #protectourwinters #climatechange #actonclimate

#iamthewest: Giving voice to the people that make up communities in the region.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Fun to listen to the one and only @sammyroth.bsky.social at #IESNA - #cleanenergy has a problem communicating with everyday Americans so folks should pay attention to what he has to say. #climatechange #energysky #solarpower #energyaffordability

I'm honored to be speaking at #ISENA this week in San Diego. It's been a wee bit rainy but the #solarenergy still shines bright 🌞🔌 #solarpower #renewables #thefutureisnow #energysky #gridflexibility

Minnesota utility Xcel Energy says it can build more effective virtual power plants by owning and controlling its own batteries. But solar groups, consumer advocates and state agencies think customer solar and batteries are a faster and cheaper path: www.canarymedia.com/articles/vir... #energysky

The crocuses are out at the community garden 😍💚🌱

BREAKING: We secured another court order blocking the Trump-Vance admin’s unlawful immigration raids at houses of worship. This ruling restores essential safeguards to religious freedom, and protects people of faith from ICE intrusion.

Hmmm other states are requiring reporting from data centers on water use. Big tech should be paying to generate the info not taxpayers.

"The data from January shows that the nation’s two operating utility-scale offshore wind farms ... performed as well as gas-fired power plants and better than coal-fired facilities, including during last month’s Winter Storm Fern." www.canarymedia.com/articles/off... by @mariagallucci.bsky.social 🔌💡

Listen to @electronecon.bsky.social and @volts.wtf dig into utility return on equity, why it's not the same as the utility's cost of equity, and what we should do about it. You won't regret it. www.volts.wtf/p/are-utilit...

This shot gives you a pretty good idea of how much larger the female Bald Eagle is. The female is Hannah and the male is Mr. Majestic! #LakeCasitas #Birds #Raptors #Nature #Photography

This 🧵says it all.

When sparks flew out of utility poles during #BadBunny 's #halftime performance yesterday, his message was clear: #PuertoRico 's grid has long been unstable.🇵🇷

Wyoming native Breezy Johnson won the gold medal in the Women’s downhill at the Winter Olympic Games in Cortina, Italy, today. Johnson, 30, skied the course in 1:36.10 to beat Germany’s Emma Aicher by 0.04 seconds. A field of 36 racers tackled the 1.6-mile course, which drops 2,500 feet.

Had a bald eagle give some chances at sunrise and I really liked how they came out #birds #baldeagles #BlueSkyPhotography #NatureLovers #Wildlife

Winter Olympics start tonight! I wrote about Jacquie Pierri, a women's hockey player who is also a sustainable energy engineer and vocal climate advocate when she's not winning championships around the world. Such a badass. You need to hear her story: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/jacquie-pi...

SPP outages. If I happen to say gas and coal fail the most out of any generation resource, I'm gonna get a lot of angry people that don't like math, so I won't mention it.

The Minnesota Star Tribune, @mprnews.org @minnesotareformer.com , @spokesmanrecorder.bsky.social, @sahanjournal.bsky.social, Center for Broadcast Journalism and Minnesota Newspaper Association today released the following statement:

After taking photos 📷 for 3 days of the leucistic bald eagle 🪶hanging around here in Southwest Missouri these are the best ones I had at that distance. Awesome to see and wanted to share these as they are a little better than previous post #Birds #BlueSkyPhotography #NatureLovers #Eagles #Rarebird

Time to #thinkspring for #sundayyellow 🌱☀️💛

Hello 👋 it's #flowersonfriday There is a lot of cold ❄️ icey 🧊stuff out there in the world right now so wishing you all moments of beauty and joy. #flowerreport #flowers

“In one hour, the Earth receives enough light from the sun to power the world for the whole year," said Sarah Kurtz, a researcher who has been working on solar power since the mid-1980s. insideclimatenews.org/news/1501202...

Hello 👋🤗🫶 there is still goodness in this world. #peace #nature #mlkday

On the cusp of a big snow fall in Nova Scotia, here are some pretty tulips. Colour in the winter is good for the heart ❤️ #flowers #tulips

Really looking forward to this conversation. It's part of an effort we have underway to fight our way through the ruins of the moment to new terrain—what we call an "ecology of kinship"—that centers conversations about next generation environmental laws on people and place. Please register!

Great to see this level of local engagement! In case the local legislative reps & county commission missed this - residents are stakeholders too. #localcontrol #civicengagement

#Data center #energy demand is an opportunity to grow local #SolarEnergy. Our #Texas Program Director, Sam Silerio and @rewiringamerica.bsky.social explain how in the Austin American-Statesman: www.statesman.com/opinion/colu...

How about some good news? In December 2025 wind surpassed coal in PacifiCorp's (Rocky Mountain Power's parent) monthly generation. Thanks to new transmission lines & a 600 MW Wyoming wind facility coming online last year, we’re building momentum for a #CleanEnergy future. #utpol 🔌💡

I'm posting this for no other reason than goats Well, solar's a pretty good reason, too And also, solar is the GOAT

BREAKING: The Wyoming Supreme Court ruled Tuesday two bans passed by state lawmakers are unconstitutional. The decision represents a major victory for abortions rights advocates in one of the nation's reddest states.

Happy last #terriertuesday of 2025! Scooby says he hopes all terriers and their humans enjoyed mini adventures and above all stayed cozy this year. #yearinreview #kingofcozy #cozyvibes #dogsofbluesky

Mini #nuclear reactors are already losing their glow, writes Lex column in @financialtimes.com - Several studies suggest SMRs will produce higher levels of nuclear waste than traditional plants www.ft.com/content/567a...

Plug-in solar is a simple, affordable way to start generating your own power. Most states have expensive rules that make it hard for consumers to use simple plug-in systems. We’re working to overcome these obstacles so every state can access affordable, clean power. Learn more: bit.ly/3YHnn57
