What is fud?
Rising oil and gas prices are driving our energy bills up. Now is not the time to backtrack on clean energy that will make our communities healthier and lower our bills.
Send a letter to your legislator: buff.ly/cGaihzE
“New York cannot keep walking itself up to the start line with a solid plan, only to back out of the race at the last minute.”
Interesting perspective here from NYSERDA’s chief of staff during the scoping plan years: acadiacenter.org/climate-and-...
"The scaremongers were wrong. Over its first 14 months, the congestion pricing system has exceeded even the high hopes of many supporters. It has reduced traffic, improved the quality of life and even provided a boost for businesses. Talk of killing it has faded."
Thank you @senatorharckham.bsky.social for standing firm against the governor’s backtracking that will lead to poor outcomes for affordability, public health and the climate!
We’re excited to see @ClimateReality holding a major leadership training with former Vice President Al Gore in Nashville May 1–2.
We’ll be there. Meet us in person and join the Climate Reality Leadership Corps by applying today!

The Strait of Hormuz carries a fifth of global oil. In 2025, the global EV fleet avoided the equivalent to 70% of Iran's exports through it.
Producing more oil doesn't fix oil vulnerability. Electrification does, permanently.

Urge your legislator to cosponsor the ASAP Act and support its inclusion in the final State Budget. The Act will expand NY's distributed solar goal to 20 GW by 2035, create 15,000 high-quality local jobs & improve the interconnection proces.

Co-ops and affordable rental buildings are struggling with a backlog of repairs. That's why we need to win the J-51 green tax break extension (NY S8170A/A10549). Tell your legislators to co-sponsor S8170A/A10549 and champion it in the final state budget this year!

@petesikora.bsky.social nails it in this article. Implementing #LL97 will save New Yorkers money while improving our health and safety. We’re looking forward to @mayor.nyc.gov delivering this legacy for NYC.

We agree, @newsday.bsky.social!

A new study from CCSA finds that expanding solar and energy storage in New York could save $1B in annual energy cost savings for ratepayers by 2035.
Read about the study and the Accelerate Solar for Affordable Power (ASAP) Act, legislation that supports NY's solar deployment:
The article states that other utilities in Finland continue to use a small amount of coal. It would be more accurate to say that Finland’s utility company Helen’s last power and heat plant shut down.
The attached article does not challenge the talking points of those opposed to affordability. #NYHEAT is common sense legislation which will reduce costs for New Yorkers while fighting pollution.
Today, opponents of #NYHEAT held a press conference with signs that read: "Save our Domestic Natural Gas." It's clear that they stand with the fracking industry. NYS Assembly, we need you to STAND WITH US. Deliver #cleanerheatlowerbills by insisting that NY HEAT be in the budget!
This is what good policy looks like! Expand bus lanes and bus-mounted cameras for faster and safer trips and improvement in quality of life! @openplans.org @fundtransitnow.bsky.social @transalt.org @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social
An analysis of the first 2 months of New York City's congestion pricing policy shows that road speeds increased and emissions decreased inside and out of the congestion zone, from Cook, Kreidieh, Vasserman, Allcott, Arora, van Sambeek, Tomkins, and Turkel https://www.nber.org/papers/w33584
Be sure to sign up for this free and amazing event! Mr.
Gore will present the most up to date information on where we stand in the climate crisis and its solutions. See you there!

What are you hiding @govmurphy.bsky.social ? We hope that you are thoughtfully reconsidering your opposition to the best policy for working class New Jerseyans in years.
Thanks Gov. Hochul!
@govmurphy.bsky.social Please accept the evidence that congestion pricing is awesome policy for regular New Yorkers and New Jerseyans alike & unravel your alliance with Pres. Trump on this issue. @openplans.org @fundtransitnow.bsky.social @rpa.org @theclimatereality.bsky.social
UPSHIFT! PHLC reports that "In a big win for climate policy targeting building emissions, the SDNY upheld New York City ... Local Law 154, which prohibits the burning of fuels with high greenhouse-gas emissions in new construction." @jessedjenkins.com

The Trump admin claims clean power drives up utility bills. But energy analysts and industry execs know new solar, wind and batteries are cheaper than fossil fueled powe, and that killing tax credits for clean energy will raise, not lower, energy costs: www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

“The MTA as a whole is averaging 448K more public transit riders per day this year…The MTA ridership growth since congestion pricing went into effect is almost 50% larger than the total ridership of America’s next-largest subway system.” bettercities.substack.com/p/congestion...
What’s that on the horizon? A storm? A sunrise? Or a moment that changes everything? On March 28, former US Vice President Al Gore delivers his most groundbreaking climate presentation yet. Watch it live by signing up for our online experience. #TheRealityTour #ThisIsReality

Robert F. Kennedy can remove all the seed oils from all the food in America.
It’s not going to make up for dismantling Mercury Air Toxics standards, undoing car and truck pollution restrictions, rolling back chemical safety regulations, and otherwise covering the country in fossil fuel pollution
Thanks @michaelemann.bsky.social for your tireless work. This is a great watch!
Good morning with good news: Global EV sales skyrocketed 50% in February 2025, compared to February 2024!
In first two months of 2025, compared to Jan-Feb 2024, US EV sales rose 28%, while China rose 35% and world 30%.
World EV transition speeds ahead!
