Study finds EVs quickly overcome their energy-intensive build to be cleaner than gas cars Producing and manufacturing electric vehicles and their batteries uses a lot of energy, leading many to be skeptical about the environmental benefits of going electric.

🚗 A new study finds EVs may be “dirtier” to build, but much cleaner to drive. Despite higher emissions from battery production, EVs outperform gas cars after just 2 years, cutting total pollution in half over their lifetimes. #EVs

Rising heat kills one person a minute worldwide, major report reveals Biggest analysis of its kind finds millions are dying each year from combined effects of failure to tackle climate crisis

🌎 Rising global heat is now killing one person every minute. Our dependence on fossil fuels is not just an environmental issue; it is a public health crisis. We can change this story. It is time to accelerate the shift to renewable energy.

How China Raced Ahead of the U.S. on Nuclear Power The United States was once the undisputed leader in atomic energy. Now it is trying to catch up.

⚛️China is quietly racing ahead in nuclear power by building reactors twice as fast and far cheaper than the West. With state backing, standardized designs, and a clear national strategy, it’s poised to surpass U.S. nuclear capacity by 2030 and dominate global exports.

Deploying the National Guard to actually help and feed people and not threaten them is a welcomed change.

A study in Environmental Research found that air pollution from burning fossil fuels causes ~8.7 million deaths every year — about 1 in 5 globally. it’s a powerful reminder that every MW shifted toward cleaner energy isn’t just about carbon or compliance — it’s about saving lives. ⚡

Solar is crushing gas power in California this year The state’s combination of solar and battery plants has pushed clean generation of electricity to new heights, offering a welcome reprieve from high gas…

🌞🔋 From Jan‑July, solar supplied a record 39% of electricity while fossil gas fell to just 26%—the lowest ever. This summer solar peaked at 21.7 GW & batteries hit ~11 GW of discharge, proving excess solar stored by batteries can light the night. #Renewables

Indigenous Peoples’ Day: Today we celebrate the people who first called this land home. We remember the struggles and tragedies they endured. We honor their place in, and contribution to, the shared story of America.

Why China Built 162 Square Miles of Solar Panels on the World’s Highest Plateau

🔌💡The U.S. keeps funneling money into a dying coal industry while China is racing ahead with massive renewable projects. It’s time for policymakers to stop subsidizing obsolete fossil fuels and invest in clean, affordable energy for America. #RenewablesNow #EndCoalSubsidies

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

How Much It Costs to Drive an E.V. and a Gas Car in Every State Charging an electric car battery is usually cheaper than going to the gas pump. But it depends on where you live.

Electric cars can be the cheapest or the most expensive — it all depends on how you charge. Infrastructure matters as much as innovation. 🔋🏠🏙️ #ev #batteries

California says goodbye to coal and hello to cleaner electricity Your morning catch-up: California says goodbye to coal, trash fees will surge for L.A. residents and more big stories.

Next month, California cuts off power from Utah’s Intermountain Plant—ending coal-fired electricity for good.

🔥 2007: U.S. got ~50% of power from coal
🌎 2023: 16.2%
⚡ CA 2024: 2.2%, now heading to zero

A huge win for clean, reliable energy and the climate. #CleanEnergy #ClimateAction #coal

Flight Delays Begin as Air Traffic Staffing Shortages Worsen The delays came just hours after the transportation secretary warned that flying could be disrupted by the government shutdown.

If there isn’t enough money to pay essential workers as important as air traffic controllers and TSA during a shutdown, then Congress shouldn’t be paid either. #trumpshutdown

How next-gen solar panels could go on lampposts, cars and even windows Perovskite panels are more powerful, lighter and less rigid than traditional alternatives

☀️ New perovskite solar panels are up to 20 % more efficient than traditional silicon cells. Their thin, flexible design lets us harvest power on roofs, windows, cars & streetlights, slashing land use. #ClimateAction

☀️🔋California’s solar farms are now out‑producing fossil‑fuel plants, cutting coal and gas use by 21% in the first half of  2025. California’s clean‑energy mix hit a record 39% solar—leaving fossil fuels at  a historic low of 26%! #CleanEnergy

Fair point but that’s in the NY times who published the article

Why Trump Wants to Revive the Coal Industry The burning of coal is the largest contributor to climate change worldwide. But the Trump administration sees United States coal as crucial.

Coal‑friendly policies aren’t saving anyone. Rolling back pollution rules and propping up dirty plants hurts public health, hikes electricity bills, and accelerates climate change. Clean energy is the only affordable, healthy path forward. #Renewables

⚡️As AI grows, so does the electricity it needs. By 2035, data center power demand could quadruple. At #CAISO, we’re working to keep California’s lights on and emissions down in the #AI era. #EnergyFuture

Each new turbine not only generates clean power, it represents innovation, collaboration, and a more resilient future for our grids. And honestly, it’s an incredible time to be part of it. #renewableenergy #windpower

Partisan Language Inserted Into Education Dept. Workers’ Automated Emails The out-of-office responses from the accounts of employees on furlough cast blame for the shutdown on Democrats.

Inserting partisan blame into federal workers’ out-of-office replies without their consent is outrageous. Public servants shouldn’t be used as mouthpieces for political spin. It erodes trust in government and undermines neutrality.

‘Mine, Baby, Mine’: Trump Officials Offer $625 Million to Rescue Coal The new effort, which includes opening 13.1 million acres of federal land for mining and eliminating pollution limits, aims to save an industry that has been declining for decades.

Government keeping the coal industry alive is like subsidizing horse‑and‑buggy rides after cars hit the road. The government needs to stop clinging to a dying technology, and fuel the future with renewable energy. #fossilfuels #renewableenergy

I thought the government wasn’t supposed to pick winners and losers

In Coal-Powered West Virginia, Sky-High Energy Costs Strain Residents As residents’ electricity prices have increased, nearly one out of five customers of the leading utility company in the state is behind on monthly bills.

Coal is dirty, costly, and harms our wallets and our health—yet the government keeps propping it up. Clean wind, solar, and hydro are cheaper, safer, and the future we deserve. 🌬️☀️💧 #Renewables #CleanEnergy

Can California reshape the West’s energy markets? This man is trying. The California Independent System Operator president spoke on how to make an energy dream a reality.

As the #CAISO CEO says “We need a grid bigger than the weather.” By expanding the DA market & adding more regional partners, geographic diversity lets surplus clean power flow where it’s needed, boosting reliability and cutting costs. #EnergyReliability
