A big thanks to @envdefensefund.bsky.social & @ucs.org for their recent defense of climate protections! The administration's fossil fuel push is both irrational and reckless given the risks posed by climate change.

Despite U.S. policy rollbacks intended to slow #EV adoption, the rest of the world is moving forward & rapidly. This is great news for the climate & air quality.

The latest ICCT report also shows it's not too late to put ourselves on a better trajectory.

#overpopulation + increasing consumption + a linear economic model = #climatechange, the biodiversity crisis, water insecurity, etc.

All these problems are solvable. It starts with educating those around us about the underlying drivers.

You need to know what might be coming.

Trump could have brought the nation together to confront political violence after the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Instead he appears to be preparing to use the shooting as a pretext to destroy his political opposition and consolidate power.

Hard to believe, but very real. The G.O.P bill now proposes taxing future wind & solar projects....

This bill will increase energy prices, eliminate jobs & increase CO2 emissions. If there was ever a time to call your Republican senator, it's now.

India, a big buyer of Chinese solar panels and electric vehicle batteries, is using a raft of government incentives to make more green gear at home. The country is spending money to try to catch up, but it has a long way to go.

Great to see China pressing forward w/ #cleanenergy even as Trump works to undermine it.

The irony is not only is doubling down on #fossilfuels reckless for our climate, but it also means we're falling further behind in the economy of the future.

The EV revolution will continue with or without the U.S.

1) EV sales rose 25% in 2024
2) In China, EVs are now cheaper than internal combustion vehicles
3) Today, batteries made in China are 20% cheaper than in the U.S.

Yes, fossil gas has advantages to coal, but this piece @woodmackenzie.bsky.social feels more big oil marketing campaign than a true analysis of it as a transition fuel.
Yes, it has a role to play, but its also pushing us toward a climate tipping point, albeit less quickly. #climatesky #greensky
Gas has its critics. Some – with some reason – see it as just another fossil fuel driving the climate crisis. But can gas demonstrate its value as a low carbon, reliable, affordable and flexible transitional fuel that can help deliver the energy transition? 🔌💡
