The typical American home uses about a third less energy than in 1980. The benefits of that shift - in cleaner air and consumer savings - are overwhelming. frontiergroup.org/resources/ho...

No U.S. state produces more electricity from wind and solar than it consumes over the course of a year. Yet. But one state is knocking at the door. To find out who, visit our updated State of Renewable Energy dashboard. environmentamerica.org/center/resou...

Humans are great at building things, but it’s beginning to dawn on us that these impressive and sometimes magnificent structures impact the other creatures that we share this earth with. My column re: #wildlifecrossings in my local paper. gazettenet.com/Columnist-Ne...

"If it’s possible for regulations to be popular, these ones are. They have cut America’s water and energy consumption, reduced global-warming emissions and saved consumers money." Thanks for the run-down @propublica.org #CleanestEnergy

Tomorrow the U.S. Senate is expected to vote on a rule that would eliminate energy efficiency standards for gas instantaneous water heaters standard. Here's why that's a misguided vote and why Senators should vote NO on the CRA. environmentamerica.org/articles/bus...

As the U.S. Senate prepares to vote to eliminate efficiency standards for gas tankless water heaters, efficiency advocates including Environment America and @asapstandards.bsky.social are working to help lawmakers separate fact from fiction. #CleanestEnergy

Today @quentingood1.bsky.social @abescarr.bsky.social and I are releasing a new paper: Big data centers, big problems. We hope this report conveys the scale and urgency of the challenge and provides ideas that can minimize the impact. environmentamerica.org/center/resou...

Today, the president put out an executive order about #DataCenters. Here's @abescarr.bsky.social's take alongside mine. environmentamerica.org/center/media...

Encouraging news that among a survey of EV drivers, only 1% said they'd go back to powering a fossil fuel powered car. environmentamerica.org/center/artic...

My statement with @abescarr.bsky.social about the reported Biden executive order to fast-track the construction of data centers – and the power plants to fuel them. environmentamerica.org/center/media...

My $0.02 on Meta's RFP calling for 1-4GW of new nuclear capacity by the early 2030s... environmentamerica.org/center/media...

The latest @fercgov.bsky.social data shows 90% of new electricity capacity that's come online to date in 2024 is from renewable energy & #solar accounted for 78% of all new electricity capacity. #RenewablesRising #Go100Percent #GoSolar environmentamerica.org/center/updat...

The Biden administration is at ~ 85% of its target for cutting pollution by making appliances more efficient. By finalizing the 10 pending standards, they can get the job done. Let's go. #CleanestEnergy environmentamerica.org/center/artic...

Some good clean energy/climate news out of VA today: A judge struck down Gov. Youngkin's plan to pull the state out of #RGGI, a program that puts a price on pollution and funds energy efficiency and other solutions. environmentamerica.org/virginia/cen...

Pretty excited about the MA clean energy bill that is headed to the desk of @maurahealy.bsky.social. Good breakdown, as always, by @canarymediainc.bsky.social www.canarymedia.com/articles/pol....

Efficiency standards for #waterheaters could deliver the largest energy-saving impact of any standard developed during this administration. Let's get them done. #CleanestEnergy

Big milestone for New England. Last coal-fired power plant in the region scheduled for closure. The end of this chapter means cleaner air and less climate pollution.

"Each of the 3.9 million Americans who have installed solar panels on their homes have helped the rise of solar power. Now is the time for state lawmakers to help more Americans from all backgrounds reap the financial and environmental benefits of solar."

Excited to share that today Environment America Research & Policy Center is releasing a new report – Rooftop solar on the rise: Small solar projects are delivering 10 times as much power as a decade ago. Grateful for the the input of all our peer reviewers @42knot.bsky.social et al

Rooftop #solar is one of our best energy solutions. Join me & @frontiertony.bsky.social next Tuesday at 1pmET for our release of Rooftop Solar on the Rise. Mayors, state lawmakers and regulators will also speak about policies they are championing to keep rooftop solar on the rise.
