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

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

Here Comes the Sun Day Fifty-five years after the first Earth Day, climate activists are organizing a nationwide celebration of solar power on Sunday.

Sun Day reminds us that real progress happens when policy, industry, and grassroots activism converge. Let’s continue to champion renewable energy pathways that safeguard our planet, empower communities, and deliver long‑term economic growth.

The western energy imbalance market (WEIM) transfer data shows just how dynamic the Western market has become. BA’s aren’t just importing power, they’re exporting too. This two-way flow highlights the diversity of resources, which boosts reliability and lowers cost #energymarkets

California’s aggressive climate policies are not “backfiring”; we are reconfiguring the energy ecosystem to prioritize innovation, public health, and long‑term economic stability that ultimately provides for a greener world. #climatechange #fossilfuels

Trump Justice Dept. Closed Investigation Into Tom Homan for Accepting Bag of Cash Mr. Homan came under scrutiny after he was said to be recorded last year taking $50,000 in cash from undercover F.B.I. agents.

A bag of cash. Really?!?
So, where did the money go? Did Homan keep it? Did he report it as income? Seriously, I never want to hear again that Republicans are the law and order party.

Gov. Newsom signs landmark legislation for independent governance of Western electricity markets | California ISO The California ISO manages the flow of electricity on high-voltage power lines, operates a wholesale energy market, and oversees infrastructure planning.

🎉Governor Newsom’s signing of AB 825 marks a historic leap forward for Western power‑grid collaboration. By championing independent governance of our electricity markets, California is paving the way for a more reliable, affordable, and innovative energy future.

Republicans take aim at DOE’s appliance efficiency program The federal appliance and equipment standards program “has strayed far from its original intent and now yields the minimum energy efficiency benefits,” said Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Ky.

If Congress scraps DOE’s appliance‑efficiency rules, we’ll lose so much. The DOE itself projects Biden‑era standards will save $1 TRILLION and cut emissions by 2.5 B tons over 30 years. Let’s not trade short‑term gains for long‑term pains. #EnergyEfficiency #ClimateAction

Fossil-fuel firms receive US subsidies worth $31bn each year, study finds Figure calculated by Oil Change International has more than doubled since 2017 but is likely a vast understatement

🚨 It’s shocking that the U.S. still hands ≈ $31 B in yearly subsidies to fossil‑fuel giants, more than double the 2017 level. These handouts fuel wasteful production, line execs’ pockets, and stall the clean‑energy transition we all need. #StopFossilSubsidies #ClimateAction

Two Valuable Satellites Are in ‘Perfect Health.’ They May Be Scrapped. The Trump administration wants to switch off and possibly destroy the climate-monitoring technology.

What gets measured gets managed.
🚨 The U.S. plan to shut down our climate‑monitoring satellites is a catastrophe—blinding us to greenhouse‑gas data, weakening farmer forecasts, and hampering climate‑change mitigation. #SaveOurSatellites #ClimateAction

Absolutely right. Just ask James Comey, John Bolton, Letitia James, Adam Schiff...the list goes on and on.

Climate Change’s Toll in Europe This Summer: Thousands of Extra Deaths

🔥 This summer’s heat killed ≈ 24.4 K Europeans – 3× the deaths expected in a world without fossil‑fuel warming. Researchers estimate only 8 K would have died if temps were ~4 °F cooler. #ClimateCrisis #HeatDeaths

The Capital of Electric Cars Is Turning to Electric Planes There are dozens of short daily flights to Norway’s islands, and the oil-producing Scandinavian country wants electricity to power them.

🌍✈️ Exciting to see Norway, the world’s leading electric‑vehicle market is now pioneering electric‑powered regional flights. By tapping its abundant hydro‑electric grid, the country is replacing aviation fuel with clean electricity for short island hops.

Feliz Día de la Independencia! 🇲🇽 Celebrating the strength of our people, the richness of our culture, and the love of family that carries through every generation. Proud to honor my heritage—¡Viva México!

Gov announces new CARB Chair; Lauren Sanchez to replace Liane Randolph - Capitol Weekly Gov. Newsom announced today that he has named Lauren Sanchez as the new Chair of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), replacing Liane Randolph who will retire on September 30. Sanchez has been…

Lauren Sanchez named new CARB Chair. A Fulbright Scholar with a Yale Master’s, she’s served as Newsom’s senior climate advisor, and Biden administration climate aide. She now leads California’s next chapter in the fight for a clean, job-creating future.

That first pitch needs a little work 😬

Congrats to you both
