A milestone in March: for the first time ever, renewables provided more power on the US grid than natural gas.

Solar saved Europe €3bn in fossil fuel imports in March: A new analysis found that Europe’s solar capabilities could save the continent €67.5 billion by the end of the year if gas prices remain high. www.euronews.com/2026/04/01/s...

It's hard to keep track of all the public land news. There are lots of great tools launching to help but here's one of my new favs—a map that tracks every fed land under assault. It includes what's happening, when it started, and what you can do. Way to go @morethanjustparks.bsky.social team 🌎

Just as most democratic governors are trying to lower utility bills by scaling cheap, renewable energy, NYs gov, Kathy Hochul, is trying to extend the life of oil and gas, which will lock New Yorker in the the most expensive fuel for years to come.

Guessing we fired too many rec techs in general, especially ones who know how to use and maintain crosscut saws (that are used in Wilderness Areas, because they don’t have an engine).

New Yorkers showing up for the states climate law, which the governor is trying to sink.

“Just because [climate change is] not being talked about in the media doesn’t mean that it suddenly disappeared or it’s been wiped out of [the American people’s] memory banks,” says Anthony Leiserowitz, director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication:

Today, @biographic.bsky.social published its first special issue: Conservation Enters a New Era One year after the Trump administration slashed biodiversity protections at home and abroad, people and organizations are figuring out where to go from here. www.biographic.com/conservation...

Getting solar can be up to three times more expensive in the US because of unnecessary regulations. These companies are working to cut the red tape so that ppl can buy and build solar faster, while cutting costs.

Love a good late season snowfall!!! ❄️

Let them eat crab legs!

Mike Lee's legacy will be playing the role of the Grim Reaper when it comes to public lands. We all knew this was coming, but somehow it's still shocking 🌎 substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Mexican gray wolves are rebounding 🐺🐾 Last year the number of endangered Mexican gray wolves in the Southwest grew by 33 bringing the wild population up to 319 individuals. This is an amazing feat considering just three decades ago there were zero roaming the wild! Read on ➡️ bit.ly/4sj9xmx

If you love public lands and want to stay current on all the shenanigans this administration is up to, Wes Siler is a must read. 🌎

This is the innovation that cross-country skiing has long been searching for to break through to a mainstream sports audience

Neat way of framing climate change.

Did you know that way back in 1962 Big Oil bragged about the fact that they could melt 7 million tons of a glacier every day They knew they were destroying our climate back in 1962 We are just beginning to pay the price as Big Oil profit $2.8 billion every single day as Earth #climate collapses

A program meant to expedite environmental review for logging was being abused?? No Wayyyyy!!!🙄 insideclimatenews.org/news/2101202...

30x30 aims to protect 30% of the planet by 2030. The recently enacted High Seas Treaty could help us achieve that for the ocean: https://therevelator.org/30x30-ocean/

The sudden temperature drop

Republicans in Congress are trying to force mining and gas extraction using a tool that has never been used for public lands management. The process could set the stage for a single lawmaker to undo any public land plan they don't like. And it looks like national monuments could be next. 🌎

Mountain Goats? Noooo! An iconic species is declining in Glacier National Park www.sfgate.com/national-par...

The state of Michigan filed a lawsuit in federal court last week against major oil companies including ExxonMobil and Chevron, accusing them of engaging in a decades-long conspiracy to block the development of clean energy and electric vehicles.

Remnants of a snow moon

Congress is up to it again. Look for sneaky language that would provide a less public way to sell off public lands in the coming year.

As Trump continues to try to shut down wind energy here at home while maligning it on the world stage, Europe is embracing it as a key instrument for not only decarbonization, but energy security at a time of rising geopolitical instability www.oneearthnow.org/p/european-c...

Saving threatened and endangered species is always really popular until the numbers are discussed. Here's a way to fund conservation and keep common species common. 🌎

Clear slopes and grey skies!! Making the most of winter!! ❄️

Just out by me - wolverines could be on their way to Colorado soon!

Let it snowww, let’s snow

Over 150,000 people visit the breathtaking #BoundaryWaters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern #Minnesota there every year, drawn to its vast network of pristine lakes and rivers, beautiful boreal forests, rare wildlife like #wolves and Canada lynx, and the sheer solitude of its unspoiled landscapes.

Not even wildlife refuges are safe under this Congress. In its first year, this administration and Congress have proven to be one of the most anti-public land cohort of leaders in recent history. 🌎 wessiler.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

Despite the update, this is a clear sign that republicans are trying, once again, to set the stage for a public lands sell off...

The biggest US solar-storage project yet takes shape in California. Westlands Water District approved 21 gigawatts of solar and batteries on water-parched fields in the Central Valley, giving farmers a way to profit from fallow land. bit.ly/4qOdtuz #California #Solar #Batteries

A federal court once again overturns the Trump admin's stop work order on Revolution Wind Judge Royce Lamberth ruled the Dept of Interior's suspension order was 'arbitrary & capricious' in violation of federal law www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

NEW: A federal judge today struck down a stop work order Trump issued before Christmas on a big New England offshore wind project under construction It’s a huge ruling and suggests other stop work orders against offshore wind farms in progress may very soon fail too

“You’re basically holding a gun to your own head, saying you’re going to be forced now to develop fossil fuels at whatever price companies want to charge you,” Wielechowski said. “It’s time for Alaska to stop giving our resources away.”

BREAKING: the Trump admin is green-lighting Utah's attempt to assert control over 8 million acres of public land without a vote, notice or public input. After failing to seize public lands outright, Utah is chipping away at at public land ownership at large. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

Breaking: Trump's pick to lead the BLM is a walking conflict of interest and an anti-environment extremist who's encouraged vigilantes to seize control of federal public lands. We’re sounding the alarm to Senate leaders. Read the letter, signed by 81 orgs: biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

In The Long Heat, Andreas Malm and Wim Carton take aim at what they call rationalist-optimists — people who naively believe that market solutions can fix the climate crisis. But their sweeping critique runs the risk of abandoning all hope in the future.

Something I see a lot of folks missing in discussions about what's happening Venezuela, particularly around oil, is the role U.S. oil majors' interest in Guyana—and the threat Venezuela posed to it—has in all of it. Explainer here: drilled.media/news/guyana-...

Up to 250 days in the year Scotland’s renewables could have powered 100% of our electricity needs so TWICE the UK figure talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/03/u...

If you need a dose of optimism to close out the year, check out Sierra's latest list of book reviews. Here Comes the Sun by @billmckibben.bsky.social, which I reviewed, was such an inspiring read, I have no doubt it'll brighten even the gloomiest of spirits.

Happy Endangered Species Act Day to all who celebrate. Here are some bald eagles today on the North Fork of the Nooksack River.

More proof that leaders in the US support socialism for the rich and wealth but call it a hand out when it comes to supporting literally anyone else.

I think there’s a deeper story here about how rural communities are experiencing the Trump tariffs this Christmas.

turns out fossil fuel company sponsorships are actively used by fossil fuel companies to block climate action! (this probably seems obvious to you, but there is surprisingly huge support among cultural institutions for taking fossil fuel $$$) www.desmog.com/2025/05/20/r...

Montana is dead set on diminishing the wolf population to the point of collapse. Our legal challenge to halt the trapping and hunting season was denied, but our lawsuit to enshrine wolf protections into state law moves forward. More ➡️ https://loom.ly/cqWR16o

The Positive Climate News You May Have Missed This Year by @davidfickling.bsky.social Some Grids Have Almost Decarbonized: "in some parts of world, decarbonizing electricity is approaching its endgame. Roughly three-quarters of power generation in UK & Europe this year came from non-fossil sources"
