Let's do this in NY! www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol... @doreenharris.bsky.social @governor.ny.gov

The Connecticut Green Bank goes beyond loans and grants to directly develop and own solar projects for towns and schools. Backers say it's a good way to grow clean energy and combat rising energy costs — and they want more states to follow its lead: www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol... #energysky

In this new report from me & @rhymeswithocean.bsky.social for @cplusc.bsky.social & @publicgrids.org, we argue the current electricity affordability crisis is caused by the rules of private ownership. To solve the crisis, we recommend banning shutoffs now and using many tools to expand public power!

"We have an economy where a handful of modern-day robber barons wield extraordinary power. They hold enormous control over our paychecks, our bills, our time, and our futures. ...But the good news is that nothing about any of this is inevitable." - Lina Khan

At the United for Green Schools panel for NYC climate week. Great story from a Chicago school board member on how there was a resolution passed in June to do 12 green school pilots, creating a revolving fund for new money for these protects.

Congrats to @jasonkowalski.bsky.social and the @publicrenewables.org for getting off the ground (and, sooner or later, getting onto a rooftop near you!).

"China is the only large country driving the energy transition at anything close to the necessary speed and scale." It's also the only one whose energy transition is not hamstrung by reliance on the motive force of renewables profitability. Coincidence? I think not.

In advance of climate week, @publicenterprise.bsky.social published a list of all the kinds of financial tools we've been recommending to our state and local partners. Get wise: publicenterprise.org/financial-fu...

Happy to say that @publicenterprise.bsky.social supported the creation of this report and we couldn't be more excited about this project. It's a great spotlight of a really ambitious public energy development program that we could scale up across the country!!

Very happy to share a new report I co-authored with @jasonkowalski.bsky.social and Tish Tablan on a stellar Connecticut Green Bank program. The report gives you everything on the program and how to replicate it! Next up: spreading the model across the country with @publicrenewables.org

1/ 🚨 Big news! Today we officially launched the Public Renewables Project -- a new climate org calling for publicly financed, publicly developed renewable energy. I’m honored to serve as Executive Director. 🌞⚡️

In a world riven by inequality and devastated by climate + ecological crisis, what would it take for "green industrial policy" to empower the working class in Global North + South, and be truly green? New @cplusc.bsky.social report by me and Isabel Estevez (1/3) t.co/78sQQe4d1g

Want a blueprint for pivoting from climate rollbacks to a strategic climate offense? That's my focus in a new article out today in Democracy Journal. The path forward is a new climate agenda written not about impacted workers & communities, but by them. democracyjournal.org/magazine/78/...
