When the Marathon refinery caught on fire last year, the smoke could be seen from space. But the company said there were no offsite impacts. Oliver Laughland & I listened to 911 calls, spoke with neighbors & examined records. Our findings suggest otherwise theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

A big heat wave hit California this weekend. But the electric grid was able to handle it, in part thanks to the huge growth of battery storage over the last few years.

The total amount of metals needed for the energy transition (that can also be recycled) is far smaller than the total weight of fossil fuels we burn away each year. Net zero means more metals, but less extraction from the Earth. My newsletter this week: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Hey I don't want to distract you from the vital narrative-building on fracking in Pennsylvania, but ... 51% of energy jobs in PA are clean energy; clean energy employs 8X as many PA workers as gas; 78% (!) of PA residents want *more* clean energy. climatepower.us/news/clean-ene…

I can’t believe “they’re eating the dogs” was a REBUTTAL to “You say weird stuff at your rallies”

How can a “climate candidate” be pro-fracking? Its frustrating that so many in the climate movement won’t admit that? It is true that she’s better than him on every climate issue but that, to me, is not the same as being a “climate candidate”. We don’t have a climate candidate.

One hour in. Still no climate questions. (The fracking question does not count) 30 minutes to go.

It's so funny that people act like everyone who lives in Pennsylvania owns a small fracking business

Climate change is the kitchen table issue of our lifetimes, threatening the American dream, driving up inflation, food prices, housing costs, healthcare, immigration, utility bills. That it's still treated like a niche side issue is insane. heated.world/p/everyones-he…

.Kamala Harris's most important new approach yesterday was prebunking. We all cling to old-fashioned debunking, which doesn't work against Trump. Prebunking is where it's at. the.ink/p/kamala-won-b…

I’m on team Kamala, because Trump is far worse. But based on yesterday’s debate, no one is being true to science. Any expansion of oil production is climate denial. As a climate advocate and a parent, I refuse to pretend otherwise.

amazon has made big promises on climate - but, according to estimates made in a new report, its shipping emissions have skyrocketed 75% over the past five years. i took a closer look for WIRED : wired.com/story/amazons-…

If I had a nickel for every time a prestigious university with a multi-billion dollar endowment asked me to develop a speech and deliver it at an in-person event that's not in my city in exchange for precisely ZERO dollars, I would have like, a dollar at least
