We are deeply disappointed with Governor Newsom’s refusal to sign these popular bills into law. Now Is not the time to pull climate punches, Governor.

Why did Newsom veto California’s virtual power plant bills? Supporters say the bills would have helped ease the state’s energy affordability crisis while strengthening grid reliability.

California’s governor vetoed 3 virtual power plant bills. That’s a problem for companies like Sunrun that already signed customers up for what could’ve been a massive VPP program.

Yes!! Heard it from you first. Thank you!

What the Floods in Texas Tell Us About Climate Change “Regardless of where we live or how we vote, extreme weather puts us all at risk," writes Katharine Hayhoe.

The catastrophic floods in Texas have made it painfully clear: unnatural disasters put us ALL at risk.

We must demand climate action NOW to protect the people we love from the devastating impacts of the fossil-fueled climate crisis. #LaterIsTooLate

The GOP bill guts clean energy tax credits. Here are deadlines to use them Want to buy an EV or upgrade your house with a heat pump, rooftop solar or electric appliances? In the wake of GOP approval of President Trump’s tax and spending bill, you’d better hurry.

Scientists warn US will lose a generation of talent because of Trump cuts Political interference and chaotic cuts to staff, programs and grants at the National Science Foundation are producing ‘devastating consequences’

The foundation of science and engineering in America is being eroded, badly.

This does NOT save us money, and it certainly doesn't make us “great again”. It hands the leadership of 21st century to China, on a silver platter.

Good to know. Thank you.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
