BIG NEWS: We’re calling for a nationwide moratorium on new data centers. These facilities increase energy costs, consume huge amounts of water and expand dirty energy.

To protect communities, we need to halt unregulated approval and construction until we know the risks. More here: fwwat.ch/49ogtrY

BREAKING: In a BIG win for New Yorkers, the @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social just voted to repeal the outdated 100-foot rule – which forced customers to subsidize costly gas hookups for new customers. Even with Trump in office, we’re winning at the state and local levels!

Just to be clear, anyone proposing new small or large nuclear reactors for any purpose is either not the sharpest tool in the shed or has a financial interest in it.
7 reasons why new small & large nuclear reactors useless

12-23 years from plan to operation
Costs/kWh 3-4x wind
Nuclear weapons proliferation risk
Meltdown risk
Radioactive waste risk
9-37x CO2e/kWh as wind
Mining lung cancer risk

There’s still time, regardless of what Sen Schumer wants to do: call your senator and tell them to stand up and block the dirty House spending bill. 1-877-247-1820

No fight. No strategy. No leadership. Call your senator and tell them to block the House spending bill, even if Minority Leader Schumer won’t. 1-877-247-1820
I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.
