The Green New Deal will create 5million more job than will be lost. Fracking destroys clean water, it causes diseases and cancers in the communities where it happening and has released unprecedented amounts of radioactive material into our soil and water ways. #VPDebate2020

Fracking is bad, actually

Just last ​week,​ Donald Trump stood on a​ debate stage ​and refused to condemn white supremacists. This isn’t the first time he’s been an apologist for racists. This is a pattern. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

Nothing else is relevant if we don’t solve climate change.

Trump has access to top-shelf health care (paid for by the American taxpayers). Meanwhile, the uninsured—a number that has risen under the Trump administration—can expect to pay between $42,486 to $74,310 if they are hospitalized with COVID-19. vogue.cm/aS6LvnW

Anderson Cooper, folks.

Oh my fucking god it’s real. The Trump team booked the wrong “four seasons” and now it all ends in a landscaping firm parking lot. Unbelievable. It should be illegal to be this happy

If you’re horrified by what’s happening to Ukraine and its people, there are many practical ways to help. The Ukrainian Institute in London has put together a list of charities needing donations, as well as reputable media sources to follow. Please share👇🏻 ukrainianinstitute.org.uk/russias-war-ag…

Removing the mine is amazing. Doing so with (it appears) a lit cigarette dangling from his mouth is...next level.

1. Production is up, rising, and approaching records, yet Russia’s actions still leave our consumers vulnerable. It’s a reminder that real energy security comes from reducing our dependence on fossil fuels

2. U.S. production of natural gas and oil is rising and approaching record levels: More natural gas than ever this year, more oil than ever next year, and, even with a global pandemic, more oil production this past year than during the previous administration’s first year.

3. The trendlines also point up. Oil production is up more than 700K b/d from Jan to Dec of last year, and is projected to be up more than 700K b/d from Jan to Dec this year, and to rise nearly 500K b/d to new record over the course of next year.

4. In fact, the U.S. was a net exporter of petroleum + petroleum products in each of the last two years, and will be a net exporter of natural gas for years to come.

5. We also know that producers have no shortage of opportunity, nor – after the high profits experienced last year – do they have any shortage of capital.

6. And on public lands and waters (and let’s not forget that nearly 90% of onshore oil production in the U.S. takes place on non-federal land): The industry holds more than 9,000 unused, approved permits to drill onshore.

7. Despite all this, even at this scale, domestic production has not insulated us from the price volatility of fossil fuels or the whims of those who control them, such as President Putin. Americans know that.

8. The only way to protect US over the long term is to become energy independent. That is why the President is so focused on deploying clean energy technologies that don’t require fossil fuels bought and sold on the global market, which will always be vulnerable to bad actors.

9. So as we navigate how to protect Americans and the global community from Russia’s further invasion of Ukraine, let’s remember to move past the talking points and ground this discussion in facts.

🧵In all the talk about ways to pressure Putin by kicking Russian oil imports, we almost never hear about the simplest thing of all. It’s not ramp up more production or build new fossil fuel infrastructure, but something we can do right now: *consume less oil and gas.*
