Clean energy is already strengthening grid resilience in enterprising communities—and preventing widespread blackouts, like during a recent heatwave in New England. It also saved those ratepayers over $8M. This is the kind of resilience we need across NY. grist.org/energy/a-heat-…
I’m joining @sustainable_914 TONIGHT from 7-8 PM for a free webinar on how residents can easily switch to solar. Learn how you can power your home sustainably with help from Sustainable Westchester. Register here: secure.givelively.org/event/sustaina…
Trump admin’s degrowth agenda goes well beyond extreme tariffs & obstructing our fastest-growing energy sources — it’s attempting to dismantle the backbone of US scientific and R&D capacity: (1) NSF: >55% cut (2) NASA Science: ~50% cut (3) ARPA-E: 57% cut (4) DOE Science: 14%…
✍️ In a new op-ed in the Albany Times Union, EANY Executive Director Vanessa Fajans-Turner discusses how New York’s GOP members of Congress put politics over people to kill clean energy incentives -- and the steep price New Yorkers will pay.
Every city and state in America should set a moonshot goal of making rooftop solar half the cost that it is today. It's an ambitious goal, but Australia has proven it's possible. In the US it costs $3 per watt to build rooftop solar. In Australia it costs $1 per watt. 🧵
Nanoplastics in the ocean now outweigh all wild land mammals. That’s 27 million tons of plastic waste--and growing! If that doesn’t make you wonder how badly we've gone overboard with plastic use, what will? nytimes.com/2025/07/09/cli…
I make the case for local permitting reform to make distributed solar cheap in New Jersey. The same argument applies everywhere. Cut the insane red tape that is a big reason why rooftop solar costs 2-4x as much in the US as it does in other peer countries. njspotlightnews.org/2025/07/op-ed-……
6. Rep. Evans (CO-08): $250m at risk. Rep. Evans won his race in 2024 by 2,449 votes—one of the tightest elections in the country.
4. Rep. Garbarino (NY-02): $3.5 billion at risk. Rep. Garbarino has been a champion of clean energy in the House at times. But he voted for the last bill. Tell him to vote country over party this go around.
2. Rep. Valadao (CA-22): $6 billion at risk. It's worth noting that Rep. Valadao won his last election by 11,461 votes. He's up for re-election next year.
The House is about to vote on a bill that could lead to hundreds of billions in lost energy infrastructure investments. Here are some of the Republican-led House districts with the most to lose. 1. Rep. Kiggans (VA-02): $12 billion at risk. 🧵
Big oil & gas companies have been waging a relentless misinformation campaign against clean energy. Why? Because clean energy is cheaper than fossil fuels—and they know it." forbes.com/sites/kensilve…
ICYMI: The Trump administration has rolled out its rollbacks. @WHOMB is reviewing new #CleanerCars & #CleanerTrucks standards that will result in: ✅ Higher costs at the pump ✅ Higher pollution levels ✅ Higher rates of asthma & cancer
Thank you @JoAnneSimonBK52 and @LizKrueger for working tirelessly to pass this common sense legislation! We are grateful for your leadership and tenacity! We urge @GovKathyHochul to sign S.8417/A.8888 into law without delay!
Thrilled this bill passed! Utility companies shouldn’t have a blank check to expand polluting gas pipelines & force NYers to pay for it. This isn’t everything we hoped for, but it's a step toward a healthier & more affordable NY. TY to @LizKrueger & the outstanding advocates.
We’re drowning in plastic waste and paying the price for it. The Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act will slash excess packaging, eliminate toxic materials, and save taxpayers millions. It’s time to act for our health, our planet, and our wallets.
A top priority for environmentalists this week is moving legislation through the Assembly designed to reduce single-use plastic packaging waste. @SenatorHarckham addresses some of the complaints from industry group's about the proposal. capitolpressroom.org/2025/06/13/las…
We're back in Albany calling on the @NYSA_Majority to say YES to cleaner heat and lower bills. The Senate passed S.8417/A.8888 and S.8421/A.8889 last week to end gas expansion subsidies and allow communities to choose cleaner alternatives to gas. Assembly: Pass the #NYHEAT Deal!
🚛💨The NY Senate just passed the #CleanDeliveriesAct again—now it’s the Assembly’s turn. This public health + clean air bill tackles toxic truck pollution from mega-warehouses & protects communities hit hardest by emissions. Let’s get it done! Act Now: tinyurl.com/SupportCDA
There's a new bill in town S.8421/A.8889, it's a #NYHEAT compromise that can get the Assembly to YES! We are supporting this bill and we're asking the @NYSA_Majority to support it and pass it without delay! renewableheatnow.org/renewable-heat…
