For the first time, new clean energy generation (solar, wind, nuclear) provided more new GWhs then new electricity demand (369Twh). With continued exponential growth and new geothermal coming online at scale in a few years we should sustain this every year.

Solar and wind outpaced demand growth in the first half of 2025, as renewables overtook coal’s share in the global electricity mix.

The Trump administration released a report saying that the threat of climate change is overblown in order to justify pro-pollution policies.
More than 85 climate scientists just condemned the report, saying it is riddled with errors and cherry-picked data.
REPOST if you support these scientists!

Americans’ electricity bills are predicted as 18% over the next decade, thanks to cuts to clean energy production in Trump’s big, ugly bill.
Trump favors Big Oil donors over his own voters.

Outstanding.
This morning the NYS Building Code Council unanimously voted to adopt the updated codes that implement the All-Electric Buildings Act, effective for most new buildings December 31, 2025.
New York will be the first US State to require all-electric new construction.

We, the people, won the court case where the gas lobby tried to overturn New York state’s first-in-the-nation law ending oil & gas in new buildings. 💪
(Decision linked below)
NYers in such new buildings will get lower energy costs and all of us will breathe easier, literally.

Extreme weather affects all of us. “Last year, there was a major federal disaster declaration every four days in the United States, touching the lives of 41%of Americans…”
That reality means lives will be lost needlessly. We are ceding our expertise and scientific acumen. We are ignoring our climate reality, and it will mean more tragedies.

Trump’s Scorched Earth Environmental Policies Will Harm Us All
The president is slashing disaster aid, dismantling the agencies that gather weather data, and making it easier to drill, burn, and pollute. If he’s not stopped, millions will suffer.
