Ohio Statehouse lawmakers missed their first deadline for congressional redistricting Tuesday, with Republican lawmakers defending the move to kick the process over to the Ohio Redistricting Commission without them ever introducing or negotiating on a map. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/10/01/o...

Insurance rates are going up everywhere, even in the Ohio Valley region, due to climate change driven chiefly by the burning of fossil fuels.

Congratulations, @billmckibben.bsky.social!

Fun true fact: the yield of chardonnay grapes goes up 60% when grown in a field with solar panels. Chardonnay--helping solar, hurting coal. It's working hard, man!

My dearest wife, It is week two of the Siege of Portland, and still these barbarians will not yield to our troops. We have severed the cords of their latte machines but they are making cowboy coffee in their camps, where loud ukulele songs of resistance even now drift in on the breeze.

Thanks to all the Third Act SoCal members who showed up to yesterday’s California Hold the Line demonstration in Santa Monica; it was one of many held across SoCal yesterday to protest Trump’s increasingly aggressive attacks on our democracy and to support Prop 50. #holdthelineca #thirdactsocal

Yesterday, September 27, The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, Third Act Upstate New York, and the North Country Clean Energy Hub co-hosted Watts & Wheels, a celebration of clean energy. A great day in the North Country!

I was in Portland last week, and didn't see the war. But I did see an extraordinary collection of food trucks

Really great coverage of a very successful Sun Day event in Columbus, Ohio. Yes, solar can be done, even in a state that has erected multiple barriers against it.

Cincinnati was filled with joyful song as musicians performed at the Sun Day Song and Solar Festival held at the new Public Radio building. Solar arts & crafts for kids while solar and environmental organizations provided information on solar and electrification journeys.

"McKibben was among the first to argue that if we take science seriously, then journalists can’t take a 'tell both sides' approach to climate coverage. Physics, after all, does not compromise."

Starting next Monday, text messages and emails sent between Ohio lawmakers and staff will be off-limits to public-records requests until start of next legislative session. Critics fear it will keep inner workings of lawmaking process secret from the public www.cleveland.com/news/2025/09...

But it doesn’t stop there. The big day of clean energy actions may be over but our movement has just begun. Stay tuned on how to support Sun Day into the future ☀️

Organizers across the country demonstrated the ways that solar and wind are transforming our lives for the better and some of their stories were shared by @nytimes.com last week 🤩

Last weekend, we proved that a movement for clean energy is possible and already here 🙌 Sun Day was an opportunity for people to come together to champion clean energy solutions and demand progress. 500 events included... 🧵👇

“The combined effects of Medicaid work requirements on safety net hospitals/community health centers could leave communities with little to no access to primary, specialty, or emergency care, significantly increasing travel times for routine/emergency health.” ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/09/23/o...

Sun Day in Baltimore was a huge success and lots of fun! Music, art, food, and everything you ever wanted to know about solar energy, the best way to power the world. A big thank you to our partners Civic Works and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. @thirdactorg.bsky.social #SolarEnergy

Sun Day in Portland, Maine was a great success, bringing hundreds of Mainers out to historic Lincoln Park to celebrate the power of the sun - thanks to all of our volunteers and partners for making this event so successful and so much fun! 🌞 #SunDayofAction @sundayofaction.bsky.social

"The event took place on Sun Day, a national day of climate action, and focused on what speakers called a failure by Governor Kathy Hochul to uphold the state’s landmark climate law."

“This is the land of the free and the home of the brave — but if we want to be free, then we’ve got to be brave.” Oct 18! Mark your calendar and find—or organize!—an action near you.

As part of the hundreds of Sun Day events across the U.S. this weekend, people were welcomed onto solar farms to learn more about what powering our homes and cities with the sun really looks like ⚡️ Here are some of the tours in Vermont, New Jersey & California 📷

Sun Day continues in Upstate NY on September 27 at Watts & Wheels! "Third Act Upstate NY, The Wild Center and the North Country Clean Energy Hub co-host this second annual EV celebration to raise awareness about the benefits of electric vehicles, solar power and other clean energy technologies."
