Join tonight to tell CARB to keep fighting on freight electrification! We need state-wide infrastructure planning, funding, and demonstration projects for freight electrification, policy that encourages mode shift, and no more promotion of hydrogen trains! Virtual session from 5:30-7:30.

GOOD NEWS: Southern California's landmark rule to electrify water heaters and boilers was upheld in federal court! earthjustice.org/press/2025/c...

Caltrans spent $207m on unproven hydrogen trains that have yet to enter service anywhere. As we discuss in our latest whitepaper, their decisions was based more on politics than well-supported environmental, cost, or operational considerations. calelectricrail.org/caltrans-hyd...

NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care. “Nobody's safe from the system if they get pulled into it"

The Dept. of Agriculture declared 59% of U.S. Forest Service lands to be in an 'emergency situation,' an attempt to circumvent environmental law and speed approval for massive logging projects. This is not about protecting communities, it's about prioritizing industry profits.

April is #SecondChanceMonth, and as women with incarcerated loved ones, we know firsthand that reentry isn't a one-time event—it's a journey that often starts while our loved ones are still locked up. #ReentryMatters (1/2)

“California needs to step up. And if we don't, we're gonna have huge gaps in what we can deliver in terms of air quality across the state.” - William Barrett, @lungusa.bsky.social www.kvcrnews.org/2025-04-04/p...

BREAKING: Two unions with over two million government workers are suing the Trump admin over illegal executive orders. AFSCME and AFGE assert that Trump illegally exceeded his authority by unilaterally trying to roll back a regulation that protects civil servants.

Remember when they said they WEREN’T gonna do a FEDERAL abortion ban? Shocker that was absolute BS. https://buff.ly/3Cr9a50

Remember the 625 million acres of public waters that the Biden administration protected from future offshore oil-and-gas drilling? On Trump's first day in office, he ordered the reversal of those protections. Under the law, Trump cannot do this.

“The public supports this iconic monument and the wisdom of the Tribes who proposed and fought for it,” said @publiccarbon.bsky.social, Center Southwest Director. “Any further attacks from uranium industry surrogates or opponents of public lands will be wildly unpopular and meet fierce resistance.”

It's nice to see some measured conversation and sanity regarding comparisons of plant-based meat to animal-based (especially red) meat. But still, I don't know why we're speculating on environmental impacts when we already have the data. It's far better! 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/c...

The Advanced Clean Fleets rule would have cleaned up truck emissions, which are 7% of CA's greenhouse gas emissions and 33% of CA's lung-damaging NOx emissions. With this critical rule lost, mode shift to clean, quiet, zero-emissions electrified rail is more critical than ever.

In 2018, @blkahn.bsky.social said that the warming stripes graphic 'belongs in a damn museum', even suggesting that it was 'fit for the Museum of Modern Art' (see gizmodo.com/this-climate...). Well... Later this month, they will appear in the Museum of Modern Art: press.moma.org/exhibition/p...

A new video explaining why Americans will be paying a lot more for insurance regardless of who they vote for. The climate doesn’t care about who you vote for (unless who you vote for fixes the climate).

Hey #climatesky & #energysky, has anyone seen something similar to these figures (by @transenv.bsky.social ?) illustrating the inefficiency of using green hydrogen or power-to-gas (especially P2G LNG) in power plants compared to using the renewable electricity directly (or storing in batteries)?

It’s been a busy year at T&E. As 2024 comes to a close, we’re looking back at some of our biggest data stories from the last year. To kick things off, we looked into the ballooning size of SUVs and found that cars are getting 1 cm wider every two years. A 🧵 with more of our top stories 👇

“Among the lessons emerging from California’s devastating fires is the idea that insurers cannot price risk on past data: the climate-change future is already here”

The forecasts for the total global average surface temperature for 2025 are in a range. Combining the medium term trend in global temperatures and the largest one year drops in global surface temperatures over the last 50 years: It looks like 2025 is unlikely to be below 2023 temperatures.

Along the Gulf Coast, a massive expansion of LNG export facilities is driving up energy costs & increasing climate-killing pollution. We're fighting back. Join us in urging Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm to do the right thing and reject all pending LNG export permits immediately.➡️ biodiv.us/42bCmHp
