If a box on a curb with "Free Meyer Lemons" written on it were a guy

(personal account, obviously)
Pinned
I appreciate all the ideas, everyone, but i already wrote "FREE LEMONS" on a cardboard box, so my hands are tied here.
Everyone is always like "dave you should cooke with those lemons" and like ok i am about to make 4 dozen lemon shortbread cookies.

And use up a whole two (2) lemons.

To get this done, we need the right people in office to actually stand up to polluter interests. This is the work that @spears.bsky.social founded and built @climatecabinet.org to do, and we are doing it every day.

We won 90% of our elections in 2025 and 2026 is just kicking off. You can help. LFG

At @climatecabinet.org we are fortunate to have @jordanhaedtler.bsky.social as our lead policy expert on Insurance regulation especially. Jordan spearheaded the policy thinking behind bills that are moving in SIX states RIGHT now to tie insurance rates to climate realities:

Beyond electricity and transportation (about half to two-thirds of most states' ghgs), states have enormous power to exercise financial authority-- how they invest pension funds, setting up green banks, creating polluters-pay laws, reforming bankruptcy rules, regulating insurance industries...

Right now, some of the biggest threats to clean energy come from active policy choices to prop up the dirtiest, most expensive sources of electricity. State lawmakers can stop this:

Progress on clean energy is never assured, and backtracking is always a risk. This is especially true with the growth of data centers and other new large electricity users. @climatecabineteducation.org has a useful primer on what states can do to keep bills down and clean energy growing:

Second: The electric sector is the domain of states. Without state renewables laws, there would be no renewables, period.

States made this market and this revolution that many are now calling "inevitable."

It is not inevitable. Feds and pro-fossil state legislators can do a lot to slow it.

In fact: the argument against states doing *even more* on transportation pollution relies on the federal government setting uniform standards. If there is no federal standard, that opens up some interesting legal questions here.
February 10, 2026 at 4:24 PM
States can do a lot to spur electric cars and provide other, cleaner & cheaper transportation options.

This biggest source of climate pollution in the country is car tailpipes, and the only (ONLY) federal climate law currently is some very inadequate car tailpipe pollution standards. Trump has already thrown even those out.

Fortunately: states have a lot of power here.

4. Would revocation of the endangerment finding take away the leading defense that the fossil fuel companies have in the numerous pending lawsuits against them by states and cities over climate change -- that since EPA can regulate GHGs, these actions are preempted?

Read Gavin's thread. Also there is one weird trick to make this matter less even if they do get their chickens: pass laws (state and federal)
