This is exactly why talk about America's "progress" on climate rankles me. What is called "progress" was largely the substitution of one gobal-warming-causing fossil fuel with another global-warming-causing fossil fuel. Real talk: methane gas needs to be PHASED OUT. 1/2

Darnedest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing (a chunk of) the climate movement that "permitting" rather than outmoded utility policies/incentives was the biggest hurdle to rapidly decarbonizing the grid.
On climate, our goal isn't to have the world paralyzed by anxiety but rather galvanized for action. And for that, we need hope; not false hope that all will be well (it won't be, if we don't act) but hope based on the conviction that if we do something, it WILL make a difference.
@goodenergystory Do you know which emotion is the least likely to inspire action in the real world? Shame. And it's not just the viewers, we've interviewed hundreds of tv and film writers - and one very common hurdle to writing about climate change on your show or film?
Today members of the Mass Power Forward Coalition dropped off THOUSANDS of petition signatures to @jeffroy and @senatorbarrett, urging them to support S.2135/H.3237, An Act Establishing a Moratorium on New Gas System Expansion!
It's kind of wild to me that journalism is dying in the US and no one has an even remotely plausible plan for saving it. I feel like people have it in the back of their minds that journalism will survive somehow, that it *has* to, but it doesn't! It can die. It is dying.

🔥Records shouldn't last for a month!🔥 The more hot something is, the more heat it radiates and faster it cools down again. Unless it's forced to heat up more. The net anthropogenic climate forcing is rapidly increasing, leading to an unprecedented global warming rate.

@drvolts that the left-of-center media's obsession with scrutinizing every NYT headline as if it will determine the election overlooks that NYT readers are ~all voting for Biden, newspaper readers are ~almost all voting for Biden, and it's cable/low-info voters who are swinging Trump
This is exactly why talk about America's "progress" on climate rankles me. What is called "progress" was largely the substitution of one gobal-warming-causing fossil fuel with another global-warming-causing fossil fuel. Real talk: methane gas needs to be PHASED OUT. 1/2
Natural gas is responsible for most (61%) of the decline in U.S. electric power carbon dioxide emissions since 2005, which is also the leading driver in total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
The “no free stuff” crowd seems very upset about the idea of paying tolls for the roads they use
Seriously, who is going to write the op-ed defending Monica Tibbits-Nutt? The specifics might not be what I’d choose, but the idea of raising more revenues is 100% on point! #mapoli We’re just letting media run with the narrative that taxes are bad. That is NOT good.
It doesn't get more Minneapolitan than 200+ people getting together about urbanism, deciding to all sit down so everyone can could see the speaker, and then going on an inclusive bike ride. Spread this vibe everywhere. Every corner of MN, every city across our continent.
I lost my re-election to @MassDems today. As the only incumbent (& subcommittee cochair), & BIPOC woman running for that seat, I can’t help but to take it personally. That said, you haven’t seen the last of me because I have always done the work even without a title.
I don’t buy the argument that fixing our rail network is too hard or too expensive. If we make smart, transformative investments like North-South Rail, they will pay for themselves in economic benefits many times over. #mapoli
Will Boston ever build the North-South Rail Link? 🚆 trib.al/cnklbfT
Criminal records for minor marijuana offenses make it harder for people to get housing, jobs, and more. @MassGovernor's cannabis pardons are powerfully important to right systemic wrongs and advance racial justice. Weed is legal is Massachusetts, and it should be nationwide.
Cannabis is legal in Massachusetts...but there are still people serving time for marijuana-related offenses. Gov. Healey has announced that she will issue pardons for those convicted of those offenses: wgbh.org/news/local/202…
All aboard! 🚂 High-Speed Rail isn’t just the future for us, it’s the present for billions of people. America is badly behind. It’s a privilege to reintroduce the American #HighSpeedRail Act with @RepDelBene to kickstart our country’s rail revolution. 🧵1/
If your business relies on underpaying and exploiting your workers, your business shouldn’t exist.
Posted this analysis a few years back, now refreshed with 2023 data from eia.gov - which clearly shows negative correlation between average retail electricity prices and penetration of renewable energy.
Hey Mass @nationalgridMA wants a rate hike to cover the cost of its investment in Gas infrastructure, then lying saying it is to go green. You can submit written comments to stop them by emailing [email protected] and [email protected] with the subject line: D.P.U. 23-150
People have gotten hip to the potential of grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) & now legislation in several states would force utilities to consider them. Big kudos to @GRID & other groups that have pushed this subject into the mainstream. eenews.net/articles/state…
The problem is multi-dimensional, but for those who’ve been in the trenches in recent years, one thing is abundantly clear: the energy/climate community has dramatically under-invested in electricity resource planning & engagement. (9/10)
The US is about to spend $3 billion cleaning up & decarbonizing ports. This will disproportionately benefit the low-income families who tend to live near these things. Big deal! Wouldn't have happened without Dems in charge! eenews.net/articles/epa-s…

It's hard to even remember now, but Twitter used to be the site of a ton of humor. It was one of my favorite things about it: random accounts you'd never heard of just being super clever & funny. That's almost entirely gone -- it's just dour & grim & nasty everywhere you look.
The merger of @CapitalOne and @Discover threatens our financial stability, reduces competition, and would increase fees and credit costs for American families. This Wall street deal is dangerous and will harm working people. Regulators must block it immediately.
