If the Trump administration wants to transform government into a leaner, more business-friendly operation, the DOE loan program is a great example of what to do MORE of, not less. Unlocking the power of American innovation and entrepreneurship takes public investment!

Some GOP lawmakers want to make sure Department of Energy financing supports all energy sources. Others want to kill the loan office altogether.

What’s inspiring about California’s #joshuatree plan is that it combines better protections for today and a long term #climateadaptstion strategy that includes future range shifts. This is the way.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has released a new plan to protect the state’s iconic Joshua trees, which are imperiled by wildfires, human development and climate change.

Great story about how National Park Service is switching to #ClimateSmart reforestation, making sure that resilience and adaptation are the basis for land management.
Extreme wildfires have destroyed about one-fifth of all giant sequoia trees. To safeguard their future, the National Park Service is planting seedlings that could better survive a hotter climate.
Wildfires are killing California's ancient giants. Can seedlings save the species?
