Truly landmark piece from Mike Soraghan threads:mike_soraghan in POLITICO--The pipeline inspection process is a sham run by the industry, and he has the receipts. If you live near an existing or proposed pipeline, read it! politico.com/news/2024/05/0…

Climate voters are ready to turn out for @kamalaharris, defeat Donald Trump, and deliver four more years of the historic climate action Americans deserve. Let's go.

It was a pleasure to join my colleagues this afternoon at the topping off ceremony for a new mixed-use, transit-oriented building in White Plains.

it’s incredible how “YIMBYs for Harris” started as a simple idea from pro-housing activists and now we have: -a Senator Brian Schatz -a Governor Governor Wes Moore -a Lt. Gov Denny Heck -2 U.S. reps Robert Garcia & Rep. Scott Peters -tons of mayors & state reps YIMBYs are winning

We're back! A Matter of Degrees returns with a replay of our live conversation with none other than VP Kamala Harris! Listen in to get her vision on climate action. degreespod.com/episodes/bonus…

Physics and thermodynamics pose fairly hard lower bounds on the cost/energy demands of DAC. Investing time/energy/resources on pathways that'll almost certainly lead to dead ends is a diversion of the time/energy/resources from real solutions.

Would you invest in tech that promises 2 kW solar panels with current form factor? Sounds like a great idea to vastly improve solar panel efficiency. I won't. Because I already know that it can't be done. Because of pesky physics.

Interesting. Kamala's biggest issue edge (by far) with voters is on climate change, where 59% say she'd do the better job, compared with 34% for Trump. I wonder if they'll make more of the issue as the campaign goes on. poll.qu.edu/poll-release?r…

So much for the crocodile tears for poor folks. California's big 3 utilities earned $4.5 billion in profits last year, and I'd be gobsmacked if we don't find their fingerprints on a late-night bill to cut solar on affordable housing. #SAVESOLAR

No, NYT, you do not need to even pretend that "mass deportations" is an affordable housing strategy from Trump. FFS.

I completely blame Governor Kathy Hochul for this insane headtimes in the middle of a weekday. She is actively sabotaging our transit system to appease folks who don’t even use it. This is unacceptable. Call her and demand she institute congestion pricing NOW.

"The state drags its feet, and now because the state dragged its feet, they might miss the deadlines. And that's seized on as an opportunity for those who oppose the climate law and want to slow down the parade even further." - NYPIRG's blair horner spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…

The #NYHEAT Act supported by both Governor Kathy Hochul & New York Senate Dems, but stuck in NY Assembly Majority, would improve energy affordability and free up funds to slowly transition from unsafe, antiquated systems so these events become history. Carl E. Heastie should act to unblock & pass it.

Breaking news! The California Senate Energy Committee has decided NOT take up AB 3121 which would have gutted funding for healthy schools and solar on affordable housing. YAY!!! Now kids will get AC and cleaner air. ⚡️🎒 When we fight, we win! latimes.com/opinion/story/…

From thomas hayduk in Upstate NY, a really important petition that any American can join--it urges NY Gov Hochul to sign the Climate Superfund Bill to make Big Oil pay for the damage it's done mailchi.mp/7c87879ac1f6/c… actionnetwork.org/petitions/new-…

Single best description of AI I’ve ever read, from the great Ted Chiang.

Why aren’t we passing #NYHEAT and moving into the 21st Century, Speaker ⁦Carl E. Heastie⁩? Cost fear mongering is part of gas industry’s misinformation campaign. FDNY: Gas leak cause of explosion that damaged homes in East Flatbush bronx.news12.com/fdny-gas-leak-…

Carl E. Heastie Anshul Gupta Respectfully, Speaker Heastie, you are making the case for NY HEAT. The bill will allow ratepayer funding to be redirected from ever increasing gas spending to cover most of these costs! Every year this bill languishes ends up costing NYers billions.

This makes me feel so tired. The fossil fuel industry is sending people into the Texas Education Agency to distort how climate change appears in textbooks (as textbooks go in Texas, the largest textbook market, so do they go in the rest of the country). They are EVERYWHERE.
