This win will grow access and reliability for everyone looking to charge their cars and help cut air and climate pollution to boot.

Great news!

The results? They're looking very promising.

California leads the nation on electric school buses deployed!

Thankful that our CA regulators are fighting to protect our kids from dirty air.

Next stop -- let's get these e-school buses powering the grid during summer months & school days!

California has a $43 billion problem: that’s the estimated cost of maintaining the state’s gas network over the next 20 years. That is an astronomical amount to spend on what state policy dictates will eventually become stranded assets. We have a new paper, first in a series, with recommendations.

Great news from @airresources.bsky.social!

Even while the Trump administration tries to drag us backward, California is rolling out more zero-emission school buses than any state.

Kids shouldn’t be poisoned by toxic fumes just to get to school. Clean air and climate action aren’t optional — they’re how we protect our children’s health right now.

Attention DC residents: Pepco asked to charge customers an additional $133 MILLION more based on forecasts of increased spending.

Our energy bills are already too high. If approved, this would mean a 132% increase in Pepco rates since 2016.

Tell the PSC to reject Pepco’s rate increase.

Profits over people, once again.

The EPA is tasked with protecting us, not causing more harm.

Thanks for the great reporting!

The Trump administration has sued two small CA cities over their local ordinances prohibiting gas in new construction. But with the state's new building code, it might not matter.

We must protect zero-emission standards and pass the #CleanDeliveriesAct so New Yorkers can breathe easier.

NYC's congestion pricing has been running for a year now. How's it doing? Kate Slevin joins me to break down the almost unqualified success of the controversial program's first year.

Have you heard the good news about congestion pricing?

Turns out that electrifying trains leads to better rider experience and more people using public transit 🤩

Congestion pricing has been a complete success.
✅ $15 billion raised for transit projects
✅ 40 million fewer vehicles in the congestion relief zone
✅ Traffic delays down

Congestion pricing after one year: How life has changed. (Gift Article) How life has changed in the New York area, according to data on traffic, transit and the responses of 600 readers.

One year after the start of congestion pricing, traffic jams are less severe, streets are safer, New Yorkers are breathing easier, commute times are improving, and the fees have also generated hundreds of millions of dollars for public transportation projects.
