Excited to see efficient and healthy homes as part of this new agenda for Maryland. Let's go!

Why are we wasting money investing on an outdated and aging gas system? Gas utilities make all their profits on the pipes! 💵 So of course they want to install as many pipes as possible even when it's raising your costs and wasting money. Read more below.

This record-setting heat wave showed why Maryland must invest in healthier, more resilient and affordable homes. With $84 million dollars available, @govwesmoore.bsky.social can do so by implementing Clean Heat Rules and deliver efficient heat pumps, which provide summer cooling and winter heat.

You think gas bills pay for gas - but they're really paying for pipes! New @sfchronicle.com op-ed from @spur-urbanist.bsky.social's Sam Fishman on why the @airdistrict.bsky.social's clean appliance standards can help lower bills with electric appliances. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Gas pipeline spending in Maryland is out of control, and it’s driving up our utility bills. Multi-billion dollar programs are locking us into polluting fossil fuel infrastructure for decades to come.

Why waste hundreds of millions of dollars every year replacing old gas service lines? The Home Energy Choice Act makes utilities offer Californians another option: electrify their homes with $$$ that would be spent replacing gas service lines. Read @missionvespa.bsky.social's blog bit.ly/4aDSYLJ

BGE’s multi-billion dollar gas pipeline replacement program drives up our bills, doesn’t prioritize safety, and locks us into polluting fossil fuels. Last year, our lawmakers passed a bill to put an end to excessive gas pipeline replacement spending. But... (1/2)

Last year, our lawmakers passed a bill to require gas utilities like BGE and Washington Gas to prioritize SAFETY – not PROFITS – in their gas pipeline replacement. This would lower our bills and keep us safe. But gas utilities aren’t following the law. (1/2)

ASAP's new supplemental policy analysis estimates potential state-by-state impacts from the next round of updates to federal appliance standards, including bill savings and reductions in peak demand, air pollution, and water use. appliance-standards.org/more-savings...

The President told voters their energy bills would be cut in half within a year. That hasn’t happened. 18 months in, electricity rates are still climbing. So ask the obvious question: does a $700 million federal subsidy for coal lower your bill? It does not.

Handing out $700M to dirty, inefficient energy sources puts polluters first & Americans last in the midst of Trump’s energy crisis. This is a stunning abuse of taxpayer dollars & comes on top of Trump’s orders to keep aging coal plants online, which have already cost American families $336 million.

Thank you @susielee.house.gov for offering an amendment that would lower energy costs nationwide by leveling the playing field and unleashing America's clean energy ☀️💨

Tell your state leaders to hold utility companies accountable and bring down energy costs action.consumerreports.org/nb-20260512-...

Our energy affordability crisis has a hidden driver: utilities spending billions on gas pipelines. But, as @kgeorgebagdanov.bsky.social and @panamaredhat.bsky.social tell @volts.wtf, states are increasingly implementing policies to transition us away from gas to affordable clean heat and cooling.

Did you know burning gas in our homes creates more deadly, asthma causing NOx pollution in the Bay Area than cars? Good thing the @airdistrict.bsky.social is doing something to clean up our air! I'm quoted in this great article from @canarymedia.com. www.canarymedia.com/articles/ele...

Gas delivery rates have more than TRIPLED since 2010, due in part to utilities being allowed to pass on the 💲 of new gas lines to existing customers. Our utility regulators –the Public Service Commission– had the chance to 🛑 forcing us to pay for new, polluting pipelines, but delayed action instead.

Youth. Contractors. Physicians. Environmental justice advocates. 99 people showed up today for @airdistrict.bsky.social clean air standards for water heaters! The community is winning—support is strong! Tell the @airdistrict.bsky.social - keep moving forward. #CleanAir

Listen to doctors! Gas water heaters & furnaces are harming our health—and our children are paying the price. Polluters want to stall clean air protections that would save lives! SF Bay PSR supports this ad in @sfchronicle.com Tell @airdistrict.bsky.social Implement Rule 9-6 now.

Polluters are pushing to stall clean air protections that would save lives and cut pollution. Meanwhile, families keep paying the price. We’re calling this out in a full-page @sfchronicle.com ad today. Tell @airdistrict.bsky.social leaders: stand up to fossil fuel pressure. Act now!

Did you know that our gas water & space heaters create more harmful air pollution than cars in the Bay Area? And air pollution harms your ENTIRE body? That is why we support Air District rules for HEALTHIER & better electric appliances. GET the FACTS about the Rules: www.sfbaypsr.org/wp-content/u...

With demand on the grid spiking, the last thing states should do is cut efficiency programs. And yet, that is exactly what some are doing! Read my latest @evergreenaction.bsky.social post to find out what states should do instead to lower costs. www.evergreencollaborative.com/news/power-d...

Fossil fuel interests want to keep you hooked on gas. Astroturfed AI campaigns were used to defeat clean air rules that would protect Californians’ health. @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov: “Top law enforcement officials should be investigating” writes Mary Nichols. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

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...

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-...

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

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!
