Watch out, Tesla Model Y. Hyundai slashed prices for one of the very best EVs you can buy in America. insideevs.com/news/774666/...

Community groups come to South Coast AQMD and spoke truth, stated the facts, and even had visuals for the SCAQMD Board. The message is simple, we need stronger action to reduce port pollution, not just plans. Onward.

The latest on the explosion and fire at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo: While the company said there were no air pollution “exceedances” recorded along its fence-line motioning system, air quality officials said some spikes of dangerous chemicals were detected. www.latimes.com/california/s...

In a million small ways, EVs are just more pleasant to own than their gas-burning counterparts. Now we just have to make them cheaper.

California cities including Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and Sunnyvale have adopted smart new policies to encourage 2-Way AC upgrades when air conditioners break, resulting in Lower bills and reduced climate pollution. Los Angeles cities should do this too! www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

The AI-driven boom in data centers is putting growing demands on water in California and the West. California legislators passed a bill requiring data centers to report how much water they use. www.latimes.com/environment/... @latimes.com

Just 15 more days left to qualify for a used or new EV tax credit, and about 100 days to qualify for all the rest: heat pumps for heating and cooling, solar panels, heat pump water heaters, home insulation, efficient windows, energy audits, etc.! Go to www.homes.rewiringamerica.org for more info!

Replace an air conditioner, get a heater too…without the pollution. My blog on how cities and counties in California can take climate action by adopting local A/C-to-heat-pump policies that cut emissions, clean our air, and keep homes comfortable year round. earthjustice.org/experts/matt...

More than 400 people suspected to have died from extreme heat so far this summer in Phoenix, Arizona, and surrounding county - Temperatures have at least 110F (43C) nearly every day in August #climatecrisis Story by @ninalakhani.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This Massachusetts community requires new buildings to be all electric and built to passive house standards, and new residential development is booming.

Late last week, a federal court upheld a landmark rule that’s meant to spur the electrification of certain boilers and water heaters across greater Los Angeles: www.canarymedia.com/articles/ele... via @mariagallucci.bsky.social 🔌💡

Solar power is now California's largest source of electricity. ☀️🔌💡

As the death toll climbs in Texas, the Trump Administration is actively undermining the nation’s ability to predict—and to deal with—climate-related disasters. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

In the past two years, with surprisingly little notice, renewable energy has suddenly become the obvious, mainstream, cost-efficient choice around the world.

My latest at Quitting Carbon: You've likely heard about the boom in so-called balcony solar in Germany. I recently spoke with Meghan Wood, co-founder of Raya Power, a startup working to bring that kind of small modular solar to market here in the U.S. www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/bringing-sma... 🔌💡

Researchers from Princeton predict that the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ will increase household energy costs by over $280 per year by 2035 above what they would have been without the bill.

The $7,500 federal EV tax credit is ending in September. These are our favorite models that qualify. insideevs.com/features/765...

Gallup has new polling on immigration. Topline findings: -Americans hate Trump's immigration policy (35% approve, 62% disapprove) -Share who say immigration is a "good thing" for the country just hit an all-time high (79%) news.gallup.com/poll/692522/...

As children are swept away in flash floods supercharged by climate change resulting from fossil fuel use, Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is Loaded with Oil and Gas Company Gifts.

Part 1: Climate change's influence in producing events like the #TexasFloods. Talk about it, we must. The interview followed an excellent report by Derek Van Dam which spoke of the supercharged atmosphere's ability to dump rain. As seen on @cnn.com with @erinburnett.bsky.social 📺 1/3

Tonight at 7pm PT: LA Climate Reality call featuring Marissa Roy, a Deputy Attorney General for California and candidate for LA City Attorney. Topic: Climate advocacy & resistance against unrelenting attacks from the federal government on civil rights and climate solutions. laclimatereality.org

This is climate change. This is what happens when fossil fuel companies pump pollution into our environment with FULL KNOWLEDGE that they would cause unnatural disasters like this dangerous heat dome — directly harming the health of both people and planet.

Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies, and the opening scene always hits home - quite literally. Vast tracts of oil refineries dot the harbor communities of LA and western Long Beach. I can't help but think my home inspired this scene (minus the flying cars, of course). #environmentaljustice

I enjoy this (nearly) daily dose of sunshine.

After 16 states + D.C. sued the Trump administration for blocking funds dedicated to public #EV charging stations—approved in *2021* under President Biden—a federal judge has ordered the administration to release billions of dollars in funding for the build-out of those chargers ... in those states.

A Republican plan to sell off millions of acres of public lands is no more — for now

California’s 2025 wildfire season was already going to be dangerous. Trump has made it worse www.latimes.com/environment/...

Yes (safer and cleaner too!)

Despite the doom-and-gloom headlines, the "Charging 2.0" era is here. And it could mean thousands more EV charging ports installed this year than in 2024. insideevs.com/news/762719/...

This is just f'ing awesome: tiny little solar power plants are sprouting on German balconies. A *million* of them now! This needs to be legalized in the US, ASAP. I want my own balkonkraftwerk.

After an opposition campaign waged by SoCalGas and others, regulators tanked rules that would’ve encouraged, but not required, a transition to electric heat pumps in Southern California. Reporting by @alisontakemura.bsky.social:

Trump Calling Troops Into Los Angeles Is the Real Emergency www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/o...?

The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.

Absolutely disappointing. The responsibility of the SCAQMD is, in their own words, “To clean the air and protect the health of all residents in the South Coast Air District”. Delaying these rules prevents residents from having clean and healthy air.

Happening TODAY. The South Coast Air Quality Management District will vote on two rules that would reduce pollution from gas furnaces & water heaters. Tune in here: www.aqmd.gov/home/library...

The gassy emperor has no clothes. Pretty strong tidal wave of supporters for South Coast appliance rules in room. Workers, parents, students, seniors all out to support our health.

A pair of SCAQMD rules to reduce harmful pollution from gas furnaces and water heater are being unfairly smeared ahead of Friday's vote. Here's just a few reasons why the South Coast should stand strong in the face of disingenuous claims. legal-planet.org/2025/06/05/t...

SoCal pediatricians and med students urge @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social to protect kids’ lungs in Orange County by passing zero-emission appliance standards on June 6. voiceofoc.org/2025/06/mai-...

Clean air is on the line. The AQMD Board votes this Friday on rules that will cut deadly pollution from gas heaters and water heaters. The fossil fuel industry is fighting back hard—we need your voice now. Tell the Board: Support Rules 1111 & 1121. Take action today: tinyurl.com/AQMDHeaterRu...

New investigation from @floodlightnews.org shows SoCalGas pressured city leaders and launched a fierce disinformation campaign against clean appliance rules in SoCal. The AQMD plan (rules 1111 and 1121) have been weakened but not killed -- the vote is this Friday. floodlightnews.org/the-gas-lobb...
