“This two-tiered approach — going to great lengths to prop up costly fossil fuels like coal plants while blocking the cheapest, cleanest sources — won’t lower electricity costs. It just saddles families and businesses with higher bills and more asthma-causing pollution.”

Turns out keeping half-a-century-year-old coal plants on life support costs a fortune.

Energy dominance, folks! #energysky

This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: www.nytimes.com/inte...

Misinformation about offshore wind energy is on the rise. And these false claims have real consequences—like slowing progress for our healthier, stronger future. EDF’s Nic Glover explains why misinfo on clean energy solutions delays urgently-needed climate action. vitalsigns.edf.org/story/myths-...

On Mon, a sweeping #outage impacted power in #Spain & #Portugal for several hours. While the cause is being investigated, misinformation is spreading at lightning speeds. EDF’s AVP of Innovation & Technology Policy sets the record straight.

This week, we spoke in support of Senate Bill 540 at the California Senate Judiciary Committee. This bill:
🌞 gives CA the fastest and cheapest path to a 100% clean energy economy
🏭 cuts pollution from dirty power plants by 31% &
💸 saves $800 million each year.

Clean Energy Jobs Are Revitalizing Communities. We Must Defend Them Despite the damage that’s been done, Congress can still do what’s right: protect clean energy jobs that are essential to our future.

There's a lot of talk about bringing back American manufacturing.

Clean energy is already doing it.

The majority of jobs + investment are revitalizing communities too often left behind.

Congress must protect this momentum. wordinblack.com/2025/04/clea...

Trump is still obsessed with coal 🥴

There's already a lot of concern about energy prices in Maine. We're more reliant on imported heating oil and nat gas than most states.

Gutting commonsense clean energy investments in our own state would make it worse.

Remember when Trump promised to cut energy costs in half?

Here's how it's going:

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Opinion: Susan Collins should oppose Russell Vought If confirmed to lead the Office of Management and Budget, Vought would wreak havoc on clean energy investments.

I don't normally write things from my byline, but I published an op-ed in @pressherald.bsky.social urging Sen Collins to oppose Vought.

He's a Project 2025 author who wants “trauma” for science experts & will gut clean energy investments that matter to Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/01/22/o...

So much scary stuff to unpack here.

What's mind-blowing is just *how successful* the astroturfing efforts to kill offshore wind have been. And how they've leveraged FALSE & unproven claims about impacts to wildlife & health..

..when there's a mountain of evidence on fossil power plant impacts!

Despite all the EV drama in DC, EV manufacturing is having a real, profound impact in southern & midwestern states right now.

A new report from @envdefensefund.bsky.social & WSP finds that 84% of investments are in 10 states & over 80% are in Republican districts. 🔌💡 www.edf.org/media/produc...

The Office of Management & Budget is one of those DC insider-sounding agencies, but it has profound impact. It's the "nerve center" of the govt, overseeing funding needed for critical health & environmental protections.

That's why it's deeply alarming that a Project 2025 author may lead it.

Stop what you're doing and read President Carter's "Sun Day" speech (5/3/78). I can't believe I hadn't read it until now, but it's possibly one of the most technologically prescient speeches of any US president. May it inspire all of us in 2025. 🔌💡 www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/go...

💰⚡️Households and businesses that get power from new solar farms in Maine will save up to 15% on their electricity bills.

‘Murder Hornet’ Has Been Eradicated From the U.S., Officials Say The hornet was discovered in a corner of Washington State. Five years later, a massive mobilization has eliminated the invasive species, at least for now.

Finally, some good news.
