Anyone have policy ideas that can save consumers $1 trillion while helping the environment? That's what energy efficiency standards do, but Congress proposing to roll them back. Environment America and U.S. PIRG oppose HR 7637 and HR 7700. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…

Ca. takes a bold step towards more clean energy! California Energy Commission - ⚡#CalEnergy unanimously approves a strategic plan for #OffshoreWind, paving the way for the responsible development of 2-5 GW by 2030, enough energy to power 3.75 million homes. Special thanks to Brightline Defense and Environment California +

Loved getting the chance to tour the Framingham networked geothermal pilot project today. Thanks HEET for your ground-breaking work.

"Even with 5% higher temperatures in 2024 than 2023 during same 4-months, we've had 50 more days of 100% #WindWaterSolar in '24" (Almost) 100 Days of 100% Renewable Electricity in California environmentamerica.org/california/res… Environment America Environment California Johanna Neumann Steven King Dan Jacobson

Another #solar record broken today - 19,467.4 MW on July 15, 2024 at 1:10 PM. Previous record was 19,459 MW on July 2. #txenergy

I just had the chance to tour this project last week. Totally inspirational.

Do EVs catch fire more than gas-powered cars? The data say no. Of the 2,000 car fires a year in Massachusetts, a few are electric vehicles. Even after accounting for the small number of EVs on the road, gas-powered cars are much more likely to ignite. bostonglobe.com/2024/07/16/bus…

Last week we hosted a webinar with Mark Z. Jacobson discussing California's impressive renewable energy progress and how we've nearly achieved 100 days of 100% renewable electricity this year.

When the campaign to update the bottle bill includes smiles and sundresses. #MABottlebill #recycling #biggerbetterbottlebill MASSPIRG door to door canvassing building support for bringing our 40+ year old #bottlebill up to date #zerowaste Marjorie Decker Cynthia Creem let's go!

Last fall I drove my EV to a West Virginia state park- a great getaway made even better by their EV charging station. Our latest resource shows state and national parks with EV charging: environmentamerica.org/center/resourc…

My kids were incredibly excited about this. Thanks AJR for supporting the environment

What incredible power of nature! Sunny (and windy) California powering our lives with clean renewable energy 100% (at least part of the day) over 100 days of 2024! environmentamerica.org/california/med…

THIS JUST IN: Appliance Standards has released a new study with U.S. PIRG examining the impact of the appliance efficiency standards set by the Biden administration to date—revealing that they will save households over $100 annually. appliance-standards.org/reducing-costs…

New study: copious right-wing bullshit to the contrary, the appliance efficiency standards set by the Biden admin are saving consumers money in every US state. appliance-standards.org/reducing-costs…

On hot days, utilities tap a sea of distributed devices in New England homes and businesses -- ie, a virtual power plant -- to reduce peak energy demand. This summer, they cut demand by 375 MW on one afternoon, which is the output of a medium-gas plant! wbur.org/news/2024/08/2…

BREAKING: #SB1006 and #AB2779 passed the CA legislature with strong bipartisan backing. @CAGovernor, sign these bills to unleash #CleanEnergy, enhance reliability, and drive down energy costs. Thank you Senator Steve Padilla Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris! #UnlockTheGrid

Great work Jenn Engstrom CALPIRG The science is overwhelming and clear: gas stoves emit pollution that puts our health at risk. Consumers deserve to know, and soon, California consumers will.

Nothing says summer in New England like a pannier full of corn and apples from the farm stand.

BIG NEWS SB 1374 by Josh Becker just passed the Senate and is heading to California Governor. Thanks to the great team of advocates who moved this to the Governor's desk. Environment California CALPIRG California Solar & Storage Association and so many more.

Today hundreds of California students are taking action for #SolarSchools! From colorful banners to passionate speeches, their message is clear: we need SB 1374 for a brighter future. Gavin Newsom #SignSB1374 #SolarPowerStudentPower
