R.I. utility regulators approve 16% hike in winter electric rates starting Oct. 1 rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/09/26/r...

Pssst…. @unitil.bsky.social is now enrolling electricity customers for MA’s new Residential Heat Pump Rate. unitil.com/ma-heat-pump...

New York's South Fork Wind, America's first large offshore wind project, is generating electricity as at the same rate as New York's natural gas generators. How's that for reliable power? (via @justingerdes.bsky.social) www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/trump-claims...

We’re joining with events across the nation to celebrate the power of solar and wind energy! Sun Day Rhode Island is a family-friendly community event that will highlight the power of the sun and wind through art, play, and hands-on learning. Visit actionnetwork.org/events/sun-d... to RSVP! #sunday

More than 15,000 prospective and current jobs tied to wind projects in New England are under threat from the potential shutdowns, according to a Bloomberg analysis

Here’s an idea. The west has held about $300 billion in Russian assets. They should release 2 billion a day to Ukraine until Russia stops the war, or they disperse it all. Then Russia will have to accept the war has an additional real cost per day

Funny how we never hear #NewEngland anti- #offshorewind groups pushing for any action to prevent whales from being entangled in fishing gear like our friends at @biologicaldiversity.org are. Maybe it isn't really about the whales? act.biologicaldiversity.org/7wak2LOEkUqK...

I spent some time with @billmckibben.bsky.social talking about solar energy and walked away with a feeling that I almost had forgotten about: hope. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/16/m...

While the third-party supplier industry claims its issues are limited to small "bad apples", the DPU is accusing one of the largest suppliers in the Commonwealth of multiple different kinds of fraud. #energy #masspoli

The saga of Massachusetts v third party competitive suppliers continues, this time featuring some questionable mailers, rates that just keep rising, and a proposed $5 million fine. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/17/s...

“We’re buying 30 years of power at a fixed price, and it’s a good price,” he said. ​“The states have decided they want to buy this stuff.” By blocking completion of Revolution Wind, the Trump administration is ​“forcing fossil fuels down our throats” Nicely said www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

“These were permitted rather quickly,” Mr. Wright said. “If you do something fast and quickly.. bad things happen.” But 'Vineyard Wind..applied for permits in 2017 and was approved in 2021. Revolution Wind went through nine years of federal and state reviews..' www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/c...

If you live in #RhodeIsland and follow @providencejournal.bsky.social, you might not know that there are pro-wind fisherman. But there are. National & regional media are picking up the slack here for our state's "paper of record." #offshorewind www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

What? The oil and gas industry couldn’t stop it?

Power prices are shaping up as a midterms flashpoint. Here are what's pushing bills higher (and what isn't) @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

first interview I did as a baby journo was w/RFK Jr. about why he opposed Cape Wind (it was because it messed with the views from his family's compound, but he mumbled something about local fishermen). Brown University has done excellent research on this www.climatedevlab.brown.edu/post/against...

Turbine blades ready to be installed stopped; Rhode Island union work stopped; fossil fuel ocean pollution boosted.

📢 New report drop: Heat Pump Rates in Massachusetts Heat pumps could cut bills for thousands of MA households—but only if the state gets the rates right. Right now, many heat pump users are being *overcharged* for their share of the grid. 1/🧵 🔗 www.switch.box/mahprates #energysky #climatesky

Trump didn’t call the National Guard when insurrectionists attacked the Capitol. Now he’s deploying them to enforce his cruel anti-homeless agenda in D.C. We need housing and dignity—not militarized streets.

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

In MA, households with heat pumps were being overcharged by 23% each winter. Our report with Switchbox, @envdefensefund.bsky.social, et al found that @massdoer.bsky.social 2.0 rate would correct that, helping 82% of households save an average of $687 each heating season. www.switch.box/mahprates

New Op-Ed on data centers. Sprawling, windowless data centers are becoming fixtures of our landscape, popping up in towns, cities and suburbs. Demand has ballooned with the rapid growth of cloud computing and AI. But we need to understand the impact on households. triblive.com/opinion/dest...

#ShaveThePeak Alert 🚨 When electricity demand spikes, dirty, expensive power plants often kick in. Let's work together to make a difference for our grid and our wallets. Conserve energy from 4-8 PM (especially 6-8 PM) today 7/28 and tomorrow 7/29! greenenergyconsumers.org/ShaveThePeak

"The [Massachusetts] Department of Public Utilities is mulling a proposal to heavily discount electricity rates in the winter months for households with heat pumps." www.canarymedia.com/articles/hea... by Sarah Shemkus 🔌💡

Boston’s families are represented by the brightest, hardest-working, most effective leaders in the country, and my job is to fight for their vision and values in the U.S. Senate. I’m honored to have their endorsement for re-election.

Temperatures are hitting over 90°F with high humidity, pushing our electricity grid to its peak. This means dirty, expensive "peaker plants" might fire up to meet demand. Conserve energy and #ShaveThePeak from 4-8 PM (especially from 6-8 PM). Collective efforts can make a difference. 💪

A new analysis from @switch.box shows that 82% of MA households could see substantial winter heating savings with high-efficiency heat pumps under proposed rate reforms! Read the full report: www.switch.box/mahprates

Tomorrow is the day! Join us and Climate Jobs RI in showing up for SouthCoast Wind. 6pm Portsmouth Middle School. Learn more about this hearing and RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/efsb-... #offshorewind #climateaction

@edmarkey.bsky.social & @wutrain.bsky.social make a ticket of sorts that we all need and that the planet needs. A great federal/local team.

The Equinox EV is a bargain and it can run on 100% wind power. Zero-emissions affordably.

No kings, but lots of solar.

Congressman Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District has deleted this tweet.

My brother and me each got an Equinox EV. Mine is better. Both are great.

During this week's heat wave, behind-the-meter solar generated a lot of power in New England -- at times, it satisfied 18% of total electricity demand! www.wbur.org/news/2025/06... @wbur.org

Come one, come all! This book is fabulous and I can't wait to talk to @drkatemarvel.bsky.social about it!

Let's be clear: yesterday's heat was not normal. This is the #climatecrisis, and we need to move faster to reduce emissions to avoid worse outcomes. Is #RhodeIsland 's state leadership paying attention? Because this legislative session was profoundly disappointing.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Hot Days Ahead 🌡️☀️ Learn how and why to reduce energy usage during peak demand hours this summer with Shave the Peak. blog.greenenergyconsumers.org/blog/hot-day...

@geconsumers.bsky.social agrees 100%

Ensuring robust, equitable funding for the #MBTA & MA’s #Transit systems drives down emissions & supports job growth. ELM is glad to see the Legislature authorize an additional $716M in Fair Share revenue for urgently-needed transportation investments benefiting all residents. bit.ly/3G54EL6

Who should pay for grid upgrades in the face of growing power demand and surging renewable energy? "An under-the-radar breakthrough in Massachusetts may finally provide a template for answering that question," reports @jeffstjohn.bsky.social: www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol... 🔌💡

Waymo is investigating the area with humans in the car. This might result in them coming here without humans. It’s a slow process. I’m not sure it’s what society really needs.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...
