The future is electric

Once the victims of the abuse realize they have more strength in numbers than the bullies, it's only a matter of time. A change in the balance of power is long overdue. #NoMoreFossilFuels

Proud to be among those challenging this action and to be quoted in the article. We can't accept such callousness as the norm.

There's never been a worse time to listen to a party telling you to "reject the evidence of your eyes and ears."

Not only really a thing. Once upon a time, opposing #warcrimes was an American thing. Good piece, @matthewjbell.bsky.social

Thanks @matthewjbell.bsky.social -- very timely and helpful (as always!).

Miles Taylor: "We’re just three people away from stopping Trump’s madman meltdown. Three. That’s the number of House Republicans who — if they chose to act — could change history. Right now. By demanding he step down, voting to impeach, or flipping control of the House."

Every mass murderer has a hidden manifesto waiting to be discovered after the despicable deed is done. This madman broadcasts his genocidal intentions to the world -- before committing his crimes -- while impotent, cowardly Republicans who could have stopped him watch & wait for someone else to act.

If only someone had warned us he would do this! 🤔

I lived through all of these. Though the #oilsupply disruption in the #StraitofHormuz is familiar, this time everything is changed. We have an exit ramp from #energydependence & #cleanenergy solutions to free us. Excellent, hopeful piece from @markbeaudet.bsky.social mydamnac.com/2026/03/22/s...

Sad, but true.

But I was told "We were a dead and crippled country after the last administration and made it the hottest country anywhere in the world by far, with no inflation.’’ So this can't be right. Unless #trump lies!? 🤔

A Pound of Ground Beef Now Costs More Than the Federal Minimum Wage The typical American consumes nearly 60 pounds of beef each year. Widely available and easy to prepare, ground beef serves as a grocery mainstay for many families — which means skyrocketing prices mat...

When that certain someone tells you:

"We were a dead and crippled country after the last administration and made it the hottest country anywhere in the world by far, with no inflation.’’

By deliberate choice or unfortunate circumstance, we've left the fate of humanity in the hands of some seriously deluded, morally bankrupt, unjustifiably cocky individuals with the power and wealth to do us all in. #techbros are not our friends.

War Is Hell. So Are the Fossil Fuels War Runs On As a pastor, I don’t use the word “hell” lightly, but I think it’s time.

With all of the practical benefits that come with shifting away from #fossilfuels to #renewables, I'll leave it to this pastor to strongly make the moral case for transition:

"As a pastor, I don’t use the word “hell” lightly, but I think it’s time."

Hopefully not followed by the question "What's a White House?" 😡

I'm not sure there will ever be a Trump Presidential Library, but there will someday be an impressive collection of his "Truths" at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Pine Island blueprint: Minnesota is setting the data center standard The critical questions asked by local residents helped establish the framework for a successful data center project.

As someone working for transparency, accountability, & collaboration on data center projects in the community where I live, I appreciate what former Energy Secretary @secjengranholm.bsky.social says in this Op-Ed about Google's #datacenter project in Pine Island, MN. www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

I'm starting to think that polls showing Trump's unpopularity may not be fake news after all. 🤔

Here east of Atlanta, the message is clear. #NoKings #NoTyrants

The size of the crowd in even small towns like Conyers, GA and the visible, vocal support of passerby tells you America has had enough of this current administration. #NoKings #NoTryrants

Even the most coal-reliant economies have put that dirty, unhealthy, costly fossil fuel behind them. Except the US, where a carnival barker is hawking goods & wares of industries that bankrolled his return to power, forcing failing plants to remain open, & touting "clean coal." Our health be damned!

Every F-ing day, and the dominoes just keep falling faster and harder.

I was at a t3-day training event for Climate Reality Leadership Corps in 2019, & Al Gore was host. That's exactly what I kept thinking listening to him talk & interact with panelists. He's smart, compassionate, & gifted at bringing together & lifting up other voices. And he understands this moment.

"The oil crisis is exactly what the net zero brigade wants"

These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."

We gave them $1B to not do something they weren't doing anyway & commit to doing something they were already doing. All to assuage a president with a vendetta against offshore wind from a Scottish lawsuit he lost 14 years ago. That's not running government like a business. It's running it like cult.

Georgia politicians reacted last week to the #energycrisis by temporarily suspending the state's gasoline tax to lower #gasprices. Good politics, but horrible #energypolicy. They should help Georgians find the right long-term solution to #energydependence.

I wish more people understood this graphic. The world isn't just enduring #heatwaves, our ecosystem is absorbing massive amounts of excess energy that don't go away with the seasons. We see the effects of #energyimbalance in our oceans, the atmosphere, & land.

Enough with the Band-Aids! By Maurice Carter, Sustainable Newton Co-Founder & Current President

The piece is my lived experience driving an #electricvehicle in #Georgia, but we all have similar experiences when it comes to federal, state, & local officials catering to #fossilfuel interests & #BigOil & perpetuating #energydependence as a byproduct.
