Shapiro, Senate Republicans' Bad RGGI Deal a Step Backward for Pennsylvania Families “We are deeply disappointed that Governor Shapiro accepted this bad deal from Senate Republicans.

NEW: Gov. Shapiro just cut a bad deal with Senate Republicans—abandoning Pennsylvania’s participation in Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and walking away from our strongest tool to cut pollution, lower energy bills, and create jobs. #PAleg

Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov, @beyer.house.gov and Members of Congress urging PJM to shield families from skyrocketing energy costs driven by data center growth and PJM’s mismanagement.

PJM must put consumers first—not utility profits

Georgia Democrats win big over GOP incumbents in 2 statewide utility regulator races Two Democrats romped to wins over Republican incumbents in elections to the Georgia Public Service Commission on Tuesday, delivering the largest statewide margins of victory by Democrats in more than ...

Imagine this: Georgia—a state Trump won in 2024— holds two elections just about electricity prices.

Democrats run on lowering costs through clean energy.

And they both win—by 20 points.

First time Democrats have done that in 20 years. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Evergreen: Voters Decisively Choose Governors Ready to Confront Soaring Energy Costs Tonight, voters in New Jersey and Virginia chose leaders ready to take on soaring energy costs and the powerful interests driving them higher.

Voters in VA and NJ sent a clear message: they’re done paying the price for politicians who put corporate profits ahead of people.

We look forward to working with @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and @abigailspanberger.com as they move to cut costs for families through homegrown, clean energy.

"We're going to produce more energy, and we're going to lower costs—and we're going to do that by producing more energy here in Virginia."

That's the blueprint for how Democrat win big: connect clean energy to lower costs and homegrown power.

Congratulations @abigailspanberger.com 🎉

The same tech giants that are forcing you and me to pay to power their data centers through our electric bill apparently have no problem paying for Donald Trump to tear down parts of the White House so he can build a $300 million ballroom for himself.

The economics are clear: The push to build fossil fuels to power data centers is going to hurt people and one way to address that harm is by demanding these centers be built with clean, cheap, fast-to-build energy sources like wind and solar. From @profgalloway.com

Big news from our small but mighty team: we have officially ratified our first union contract! 💚 @evergreenaction.bsky.social fights for a just, thriving clean energy future alongside labor—and we’re proud to live those values ourselves. A strong labor movement starts at home!

'Not fast enough': Climate advocates want quicker adoption of electric heating rules in Maryland - Maryland Matters A group of Maryland environmental advocates is pushing the state to hasten its development of rules that would bolster electric heating systems inside homes, including heat pumps.

Maryland must take action to provide clean heat and healthy homes. Read the latest from @marylandmatters about how @govwesmoore can do just that by finalizing the Clean Heat Rules.

We're proud to be one of the 3,700+ nonprofits who signed on to this letter condemning the Trump administration’s illegal attacks on free speech.

He wants to intimidate and silence dissent—but we will all continue to fight back.

Families need relief. Communities need lower power bills.

Instead of working across the aisle to deliver help, Republicans shut down the government so that Trump could keep abusing power.

Thank you to our speakers & all who joined today’s Climate Week panel with Three Cairns Group on the success of congestion pricing.

Congestion relief is a reminder that change can take time, but with support from leaders across government, business, advocacy and more—it’s worth the wait.

Federal Tax Credits for Heat Pumps Disappear Soon. What Can States Do to Fill the Gap? A state-level plan to keep heat pumps pumping.

Time is short for households to take advantage of home energy credits before the end of the year.

It's also time for states to step up and fill the gap in making heat pumps affordable for everyone.

Republicans really be like: Don't Blame Me (for your higher energy prices)

Trump’s own Energy Secretary admitted the truth: “We’re going to get blamed.”

And he’s right. Trump’s war on clean energy is driving electricity bills up for working families—while padding fossil fuel profits. 🧵

Trump’s EPA Moves to Blackout Solar and Hike Energy Costs for Working Families Donald Trump and Lee Zeldin are once again trying to illegally claw back clean energy funds that Congress already appropriated and communities are already using to lower energy bills.

Trump’s EPA is trying to rip rooftop solar funding from low-income families––breaking the law and hiking energy costs to keep fossil fuel CEOs happy.

As record heat and data centers strain the grid, they’re sabotaging the fastest, cheapest power we have. www.evergreenaction.com/press/trumps...
