For the first time, renewables are generating more power globally than coal. But in the U.S., where the Trump administration is dismantling support for clean energy, renewables are expected to grow half as fast as previously thought.

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

Next step in this extortion racket: You want federal money, you sing sweet words about fossil fuels and you don't talk about climate change. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/o...

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

the gov't just said it's ok for private, billion dollar corporations to break a person's lifeline -- a custom device often costing 10s or 100s of thousands of $$ -- with impunity. www.reuters.com/world/usdot-...

Once again I’m reminded, trust is gained in drops and lost in buckets.

this is a really good video about how increases in CO2 affect plant growth. the channel only has a few dozen subscribers, which is criminal.

I may have found my defining quote. Pair this with my pinned post and you will see what I mean!

Soybeans were the single largest U.S. export to China by value. Now it’s zero. U.S. agriculture secretary says farmers need to stop relying “on a country that isn’t aligned with our values.” (Trump proposed sending tariff proceeds to farmers) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/b...

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.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Couple of eye-popping facts from this excellent analysis - in the first half of 2025 alone, India added more new solar generating capacity than the UK’s *entire current installed solar capacity* 🤯 - fully 10% of India’s electricity demand is for air conditioning 🥶

It’s possible to make things better! (A hopeful reminder that I need frequently.)

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

California’s first solar-covered canal is now fully online. The 1.6-megawatt pilot system is among a growing number of initiatives to put solar over waterways. The approach could generate gigawatts of power nationwide. grist.org/energy/calif... #Water #Energy #Renewables #CA #California #Solar

The Washington Post now has no Black Opinion columnists - none - at a time when white nationalism is ascendant in our nation. I am grateful to Karen for the truth and fearlessness her work has always shown. Keep shining that light, my friend.

Underestimating support for climate action limits political decision making, study says. Research reveals huge disparity between perceived and actual willingness of public to contribute to fixing climate www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Transportation Department on Friday said it was terminating or withdrawing $679 million in federal funding for 12 projects around the country intended to support the development of offshore wind power.

Trump's insane beef with clean energy is going to wreck both planet and economy www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

U.S. drilling sites aren't just leaking methane, but also a host of toxic chemicals that threaten the health of those living nearby. A new interactive map shows the impact of hundreds of major leaks.

The most-shared article in my feed today + a sobering bonus article a couple of posts down in this thread by @volts.wtf

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

www.cbsnews.com/news/why-uti... By slowing clean energy deployment, the Administration is directly fueling cost increases. The top four clean energy states are seeing prices decline this year, while the 10 states with the least renewable power all face rising costs.

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...

My latest for American Scientist Magazine helps give scientists the tools to fight back against politicized charges that our research is silly or pointless- tools that will work whether you’re asked “why are we funding this” from your asshole uncle at Thanksgiving or an asshole US Senator. 🧪🌎

This is a desecration of a public shrine and I am furious.

On my two block walk back to my car from Nats Park this afternoon I counted 15 police cars. 15. Trump has lost his mind.

American Lung Association: Replacing 33,500 combustion-based boilers with heat pumps nationwide could: avoid 77,200 premature deaths avoid 33 million asthma attacks & 200,000 new asthma cases save $1.1 trillion in health costs prevent $351 billion in climate damages grist.org/energy/insta...

The recent DOE climate science report misrepresents the work of many researchers. Carbon Brief asked those cited to review the parts of the report where their work was used, and we collectively found 100+ misleading or false statements: interactive.carbonbr...

Refusing to "trust the experts" is meant to be a brave, responsible position. But (as Carl explains in the thread) there is too much knowledge in the world. You have to trust *somebody*, much of the time. If you have no trust in experts, you end up trusting the idiots.

As a DC resident I do feel that the city has been overrun by "violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals" and I would like them to leave the White House and stop destroying the federal government.

I read EPA’s 302-page proposal to nuke the endangered endangerment finding so that you don’t have to, and wrote about what the insanity all means for @climateconnections.bsky.social. Thanks to @gregdotson.bsky.social, @hausfath.bsky.social, @michaelemann.bsky.social for the input. Article & 🧵(1/14):

Congestion charge: Charging drivers a small fee significantly decreased traffic in cities. Plastic bag charge: Charging a tiny fee significantly reduced plastic bag use. Carbon price: ???

Zeldin lied publicly on the 2009 endangerment finding, misrepresenting both the science and the law behind it. Amongst his lies were claims that the proper administrative process wasn't followed (it was) & that the agency ignored CO₂’s supposed benefits (it didn’t). zurl.co/X2Nbn

This industry is filled with builders—of projects, companies, careers and futures. Now we must build political power too. That means starting small, scaling fast and staying with it for the long haul. Let’s bring our skills to organizing and show what happens when clean energy fights back.

I think I'm just going to bookmark this @newyorker.com article by @billmckibben.bsky.social and read it whenever I'm feeling sad. I've read some really depressing articles about climate change in the last few years. But this? It actually gives me hope for the future.
