Experts say Fervo Energy is one of the most promising climate tech companies out there. It is "slated to open a 100-megawatt enhanced geothermal system next year," @heatmap.news reports. CCL's Geothermal Action Team is hosting an event next week to hear from them! heatmap.news/insiders-sur...

Today's news lands heavily for all in the climate/public health space. Years of scientific work led to the #endangerment finding. Its repeal matters for emissions & trust in science. At @cclusa.org we remain focused on durable bipartisan solutions in Congress citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/news/ep...

America's aging power grid infrastructure is tested every time we experience intense weather events. Relying on fossil fuels just isn't a long-term strategy. 👎

Language from the PROVE IT Act was included in a funding package that is now law! "It's like so many legislative accomplishments. It starts years before it's accomplished," Sen. Cramer told @eenews.bsky.social. CCL is part of the story of those years... 🧵 subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Thank you Minnesota Citizens Climate Lobby for hosting a booth at this year's Great Northern Festival here in Minneapolis! @cclusa.org empowers every day people to drive climate solutions in Congress.

We can disagree on policy and still agree that violence that violates human life is unacceptable. What is happening in Minneapolis, especially this morning’s horrifying, senseless shooting crosses that line. For the sake of protecting life, dignity, safety and de-escalation, ICE needs to leave MN.

Major #carbonpricing news this month: The EU has "fully implement[ed] a functioning border carbon adjustment policy." In order to trade certain goods with Europe, "importers must now pay for the greenhouse gas emissions contained on their products." www.clearbluemarkets.com/knowledge-ba...

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.

CCL applauds the reintroduction of the Clean Competition Act from @whitehouse.senate.gov & @repdelbene.bsky.social! The bill "would give domestic companies a step up in the global marketplace while lowering emissions at home & abroad," Sen Whitehouse says. www.whitehouse.senate.gov/news/release...

We are in the final days of our biggest fundraiser of the year, and your support right now will determine how strong we enter 2026. We’re currently $107,000 away from reaching our $1.25 million year-end goal, with only 2 days left to give.

Human-caused climate change is settled science. Our grassroots volunteers will continue to lobby Congress for evidence-based climate solutions, no matter what the EPA's website says.

U.S. forests offset 12% of our annual climate pollution, with the potential to do even more. But with wildfires increasing, they need some help. That's why we've worked hard to support the #FixOurForests Act this year! Here's what we've been up to: citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/policy/...

Happy #GivingTuesday2025! There's so many important causes to give to today. In honor of our shared work at @cclusa.org I set up a fun fundraiser for climate friends as I train for the #AmericanBirkebeiner to help celebrate winter & support our ongoing advocacy charity.pledgeit.org/2025YEF/@bre...

CCL volunteers are holding more than 300 grassroots lobby meetings and have placed more than 800 calls as part of our fall lobbying push! Learn more from our Government Affairs team about the climate policy ideas and bills we're lobbying for:

We've just kicked off today's program with an opening message from CCL Interim Executive Director Ricky Bradley and a fantastic keynote from @azevin.bsky.social! Follow along with the rest of our virtual conference on our YouTube livestream:

Thanks to Peter Trapp from @crow.house.gov 's office for meeting with volunteers from @cclusa.org this morning. Thanks for sharing your insights on energy infrastructure permitting reform and forest policy.

Thanks to Shane Londagin, Ashton Knepell, and Megan Day from Senator John Hickenlooper's @hickenlooper.bsky.social office for meeting with @cclusa.org this morning. We appreciated hearing your insights on energy permitting reform and forest policy.

This week, I will be lobbying Congress along with 100's of other members of @cclusa.org to get more clean energy and transmission lines on the grid so we can accelerate away from fossil fuels. Give your Reps and Senators a call here to give us a boost. citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-tak...

Thanks Sarah in the office of Rep. Jenn McClellan for meeting with your @cclusa.org constituents!

Grateful to meet with staff from @replsimon.bsky.social office during @cclusa.org Lobby Week. Strong leadership on clean energy and wildfire resilience is essential for #CA12. #ClimateAction

Today I joined other volunteers from @cclusa.org for a lobby meeting with the office of @sarajacobs.house.gov. We had a chance to push for action on energy permitting reform. We also spoke in favor of passing the Fix Our Forests Act when when it comes back to the House.

Thank you @susielee.house.gov and staff for meeting with @cclusa.org volunteers yesterday to discuss legislation to protect forest health and speed clean energy permitting!

Citizens' Climate Lobby @cclusa.org Colorado Members had a good discussion with Senator Bennett's @bennet.senate.gov staff on permitting reform. Together we hope to make desperately needed and sensible changes to our aging electrical grid

Help amplify our Lobby Week ask for bipartisan permitting reform! We want to reach 1,000 extra calls to Congress in addition to our 300+ virtual lobby meetings this week. Visit cclusa.org/pr

We're disappointed that the Trump administration took such a strong oppositional stance to the IMO's exploration of a carbon price on global shipping. Pricing carbon pollution is smart, effective policy, and we remain committed to building more support for it in the U.S.

🚨 Calling all CCLers! Join CCL New Jersey this coming Tues., Oct. 28th to mobilize environmental voters for the New Jersey general election! Sign up and spread the word! cc: @cclusa.org www.environmentalvoter.org/cclnjoct282025

CCL volunteer Polly Merhar shares personal reflections on the impacts of growing wildfires in a new op-ed for the Bemidji Pioneer. She calls on Minnesota's Senators @klobuchar.senate.gov and @smith.senate.gov to support the #FixOurForests Act.

For @climateconnections.bsky.social today, with the help of @bobkopp.net & @andrewdessler.com's team of 85 climate scientists and the National Academies, I fact checked the EPA/DOE's claim that carbon pollution is good for food production. Spoiler alert: it's not. Article and 🧵 (1/9):

The U.S. Forest Service has treated about 4 million fewer acres than this time last year. We're way behind on thinning, prescribed fire, and related actions. www.eenews.net/articles/shr...

As a volunteer with CCL, I can say that this has been my personal experience and has become more and more so since I began visiting congressional offices on both sides of the aisle nine years ago.

In a speech to the UN yesterday, President Trump falsely claimed that climate change is a "con job," that renewables are "too expensive," and that coal is "clean." @apnews.com takes a closer look at the president's statements and the scientific reality.

YOU'RE INVITED: CCL'S 4TH ANNUAL INCLUSION CONFERENCE SEPT. 26-27 A virtual conference dedicated to strengthening communities, cultivating connections, and grounding our movements in care. 👉 See the full speaker lineup and register for free: cclusa.org/ce0

On behalf of CCL and our Michigan volunteers, thank you Senator Stabenow for more than a decade of work on bipartisan climate solutions 🎉 We take our relationships with Congress seriously. Read more ⬇️

On The Climate Brink: More about the DOE Climate Working Group report. The Fix Is In: Without independent review editors, their “peer review” process is a sham. Science and humanity deserves better.

Two new papers find renewables are good insurance (they stabilize electricity price volatility in welfare improving ways) www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🔌💡

It’s use-it-or-lose-it time for federal energy efficiency tax credits. This @rewiringamerica.bsky.social‬ campaign aims to make sure everyone takes advantage before it's too late. www.canarymedia.com/articles/ele...

Clean energy helps keep electricity costs in check. "In some of the states with the highest level of renewables, prices have either risen more modestly than average or even fallen," @heatmap.news reports. heatmap.news/energy/renew...

We're less than 400 emails away from reaching our goal of 10,000 messages to Congress! Will you help us cross the finish line today? 🏆 Tell your members of Congress to reject proposed cuts to key climate and clean energy programs in the FY26 budget ⬇ citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-tak...

Many of the Inflation Reduction Act's climate measures are expiring soon. But while they were in place, they put us on track to save about 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide pollution over the next decade! "Every ton of avoided carbon pollution makes a difference," says @dananuccitelli.bsky.social.

"It’s more important than ever that our professional bodies and institutions are emboldened by their membership to advocate for the public good that science brings, and the need to defend academic freedom, recognising that often means speaking truth to power."

If you'd like to offer comments on the misleading & error-ridden US federal report, "Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate," the link to do so is below. Comments are due by Sept 2. Pls see next post for links to resources that debunk the claims in this report.

Thank you to our Utah legislators for meeting with us about supporting clean energy for affordable and reliable power! #grassrootsclimate #CCL2025

Is carbon pricing dead? Not quite. 🌎 ⚖️ Carbon pricing advocates are meeting the political moment to deliver emissions reductions. On Resources Radio, Danny Richter explains how carbon pricing policy has achieved lasting environmental and economic success. 🎧: www.resources.org/resources-ra...
