The EPA is officially putting the dollar value of a human life at zero as it relate to clean air. By refusing to monetize the health benefits of cleaner air, we’re ignoring the thousands of asthma attacks and deaths prevented every year. #EPA #CleanAir

The irony: after years of political campaigning for total deregulation and "unleashed" American production, the industry's loudest cheerleader is being forced to hit the "off" switch by the very market forces he lobbied for. 🤡

Why have death rates from accidental falls tripled? | USAFacts Since 2000, death rates from heart disease and cancer have declined, whereas deaths from accidental falls have increased threefold.

In 2023, 47,026 Americans died from falls, compared with 44,762 from motor vehicle accidents.

E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution

Choosing industrial profits over human health is a direct betrayal of the EPA mission. We are accepting dirtier air and more preventable deaths just to cut costs for corporations. This is a tragic step backward for public health. #PublicHealth #Environment #EPA

Trump Tosses Lifelines to the Struggling Coal Industry

Forcing the dirtiest and most expensive plants to keep burning coal while simultaneously suspending renewable power projects is the opposite of what our warming planet needs.

Power-hungry AI data centers are raising electric bills and blackout risk Experts warn that a frenzy of data center construction could delay California’s transition away from fossil fuels, raise electric bills and increase risk of blackouts

By 2030, data centers could account for as much as 11% of U.S. power demand — up from 3% now, according to analysts at Goldman Sachs.

Federal judge throws out Trump order blocking development of wind energy A federal judge has struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order blocking wind energy projects, saying the effort to halt virtually all leasing of wind farms on federal lands and waters was…

A federal judge has struck down the federal government’s wind energy block, ruling it “arbitrary and capricious.” This decision protects green jobs, climate goals, and vital investments in renewable energy.

Key distinction between failing and failure

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
