Maryland should be investing now to lower people's energy bills. “Upgrading low-income homes alone in Maryland with highly efficient heat pumps can provide $145 million annual health savings,” writes @laurelpeltier.bsky.social www.baltimoresun.com/2026/03/19/m...

🚨New analysis from @synapseenergy.bsky.social: New York families could save at least $341 a year on their energy bills by 2030 with these key reforms. Here's how they do it ⬇️ evrgn.co/NYreport

As New York debates cap-and-invest, a new report shows what’s at stake. The program would move $3B off utility bills and deliver about $270 in annual rebates to 6.5M+ households—while also cutting pollution and creating more union jobs. www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2026/...

Ahead of House Vote, Consumer Groups Warn H.R. 4626 Threatens Consumer Savings. Without existing standards, the typical US household would have spent an additional $6,000 on utility bills over the past decade. advocacy.consumerreports.org/press_releas...

The Wisconsin story is simple: utilities are using data center demand to justify building gas plants that raise bills. The cheapest power on the grid? Renewables. Clean energy = cheap energy. tonemadison.com/articles/wis...

An AI-powered email campaign leveraged fake comments and killed clean air rules in Los Angeles -- which means pollution will keep killing thousands of people. Fossil Fuel industry astroturfing schemes kill people and make us all less healthy. This must be stopped! www.latimes.com/environment/...

A heat pump boom is creating Bay Area jobs in the trades. New @airdistrict.bsky.social clean air standards starting in 2027 will create demand for skilled installers, creating opportunities for workers in the trades. www.nbcbayarea.com/video/news/l...

Customers are in an affordability crisis and falling behind on utility bills. Meanwhile utilities double down and increase spending on an obsolete gas system, driving up gas prices -- up 11% in 2025 alone! Time for utility accountability. Not more corporate profits. heatmap.news/sparks/power...

📣 Republicans are (finally) realizing that Trump's attacks on clean energy are hurting families: "The loss in the workforce and lost wages and the uncertainty for families... they could look at the President and say he canceled our project because it was solar" - Sen. Capito

Developers are building houses that cost less by skipping the gas hookup. Saves time and money and lowers utility bills! www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/c...

Heat pump customers are being over charged for electricity! New electricity rates could charge that. Excited to be working on this policy in Maryland. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/u...

Heat pumps and weatherization are key solutions to supporting grid reliability and household safety. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/o...

Its a travesty that people are dying because their homes aren't well insulated. This can and must be fixed. www.aceee.org/blog-post/20...

Don't count on fossil fuels to keep the lights on in cold weather! open.substack.com/pub/thepower...

Capture-and-kill tactics. Patent hoarding. Hacking journalists. According to MI AG Dana Nessel’s new lawsuit, these are some of the “cartel”-style tactics Big Oil has used to block clean energy and send costs for Michigan families sky-high. Thanks to @miattygen.bsky.social for fighting back 💪

It was so great to be on the Maryland Energy Talk podcast with @jamiedemarco.bsky.social and @ruthannnorton.bsky.social, talking about how Maryland is taking the lead in upgrading people's homes to clean, efficient, and affordable heat pumps! demarcoadvocacy.substack.com/p/what-is-a-...

Food $200 Data $150 Trump's war on clean energy causing a shortage of electrons $1,900 someone who is good at the economy please help me

Why are Realtor associations fighting clean air standards that lower bills & reduce pollution? Follow the money! Check out this @sierraclub.org blog that breaks down fossil fuel ties and political influence behind the opposition: www.sierraclub.org/articles/202...

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

Good news! The country’s largest all-electric hospital is about to open in Orange County, CA! May other hospitals follow this example. The future is healthier, more efficient, electrical buildings! Join us in these efforts. www.latimes.com/environment/...

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

so like, i’m aware that it’s not a done deal that all dems vote no on this bill flooding folks’ offices with calls tomorrow is probably a good idea if you care about the trans folks in your life

Burning gas in homes fuels Bay Area smog. 🏠🔥😶‍🌫️ 😵 Today we're one step closer to clean air. 55+ advocates turned out to the Bay Area Air District supporting clean air standards for water heaters with commonsense flexibility measures. Join us at bayareacleanair.com

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

Good news from Colorado about their Clean Heat Standard: 41% emissions reductions by 2035 is big! www.canarymedia.com/articles/uti...

"But the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are still socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

Yes please!

OMG the new york times, which endlessly discussed Biden's age, has FINALLY discovered that Trump is... ALSO OLD.

Good news! Thank you CPUC for funding the development of more affordable and equitable induction stoves, 24” 120V models for smaller kitchens, and 120V window heat pumps tailored for CA’s climate and buildings. These will cost less to buy, install, and run! calmta.org/room-heat-pu...

Good news! CPUC will support “neighborhood decarbonization zones” to transition away from natural gas toward zero-emissions alternatives. Phasing out natural gas in favor of electrified alternatives is a vital step toward California’s ambitious decarbonization goals. legal-planet.org/2025/11/18/t...

When I drive, I AM traffic. And so are the others around me. I'm grateful to the people on the bus, on foot, and on bike who take up far less space. #urbanism

"The denial came after the Trump administration documented $90 million in damage to utility infrastructure, according to records obtained by @eenews.bsky.social. The amount is nearly five times the federal threshold to qualify for disaster aid" "Trump’s denial is both unprecedented and unexplained"

This is so sketchy www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Several bills set to be considered in a House committee would raise costs for households and businesses by attacking energy-saving standards. The Committee on Energy & Commerce’s holds a markup today to consider amending the bills and vote on advancing them. appliance-standards.org/document/hou...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Experts say Big Tech should buy you a heat pump virginiamercury.com/2025/11/10/e...

NEW: Gov. Shapiro just cut a bad deal with Senate Republicans—abandoning Pennsylvania’s participation in Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and walking away from our strongest tool to cut pollution, lower energy bills, and create jobs. #PAleg www.evergreenaction.com/press/shapir...

Really starting to make sense why Mike Johnson and Republicans skipped work for 40+ days

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging. They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”. They raped them. Sex implies consent. The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

"We expect prices to average $4.00/MMBtu in 2026, 16% higher than in 2025, primarily due to increased liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports amid flat production growth" Exporting US gas to make US oil executives even wealthier off of the backs of the US public. It just has that 2025 vibe!

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”: wapo.st/448fDw6

He campaigned on cutting the cost of living, but he has governed to raise it: regressive tariffs, immigration, fiddling with the Fed, cutting renewable energy, and firing the person whose job was to measure all of this.

The closed captioning is devastating

Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov, @beyer.house.gov and Members of Congress urging PJM to shield families from skyrocketing energy costs driven by data center growth and PJM’s mismanagement. PJM must put consumers first—not utility profits

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.
