Diabolical moves by @NVEnergy asking to charge ratepayers for luxury hotels, limo rides + payments to parent company Berkshire Hathaway during NVE's huge overcharge investigation and skyrocketing utility bills. Amazing work Alonzo @TheNVIndy thenevadaindependent.com/article/limos-…

Arguably the biggest victim of conspiracy theorists who blame offshore wind for right whale deaths is the right whale itself. We need to address the actual documented causes, like entanglements + vessel strikes, to protect this species fisheries.noaa.gov/national/endan…

A new video exposes @SWGas's tactics to back legislation that stripped AZ cities from updating building codes for electric appliances. They also recruited 9 mayors to support a rate hike + got them to sign onto a letter of support written by SW Gas. bit.ly/3VWCKpK

#SCOOP: New England's largest utility Eversource, has left the American Gas Association to focus more on "decarbonization." Experts say this may be the first major utility to break ranks with the influential trade group over diverging climate agendas wbur.org/news/2023/08/0…
