“For the first time ever, more than 50 nations will gather next week in Colombia to hash out how to wind down and end their dependence on coal, oil and gas. The history-making conference was planned before the Iran war. … energy crisis has greatly raised the stakes.”

I’ll be there, would be great to connect!
If you're going to be in Santa Marta, I'd love to connect there!
Wenn du in Santa Marta sein wirst, lass uns gerne treffen!
The @nytimes.com just revealed a massive power grab by the Supreme Court under Justice Roberts, which has mainly been used to support conservative policies and quash liberal ones, without sound legal justification or even explanation to the public.
Can you imagine a fully zero-emission, climate-friendly city?
We'll talk about:
- Managed disconnection from the gas grid
- Safe, walkable neighborhoods with all-electric vehicles
- Transition financing for clean homes
- Political obstacles and how to overcome them
Join me at SF Climate Week for a virtual panel discussion I'm moderating! 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 w/ @runonclimate.bsky.social
I'll talk with three Bay Area city councilors, George Lu, @d4sanjose.bsky.social, & Matthew Solomon.

So gewinnt man einfach nicht.
Statt implizit die falschen Argumente der anderen anzunehmen, muss man eine klare Gegenvision haben und selbstbewusst sagen, wie die Erneuerbaren günstigere Energie bedeuten.
He needs to be impeached and removed before he does even more damage. His presidency is a destructive, steadily unfolding disaster.
I know impeachment is politically dead on arrival but it’s still important to say clearly that it is the solution this moment demands.

Congestion pricing has been a wild success

Huge bike growth in San Diego after making it safer to ride!
Annual bike trips jumped 50k to 115k after the lane was installed in 2021. By 2025, 132k.
“The lesson is straightforward: when people feel safe, they ride.”

Federal Judge Upholds NYC's Congestion Pricing that has:
-reduced traffic
-made buses faster and more reliable
-helped businesses
-reduced pollution
Time for other cities to replicate this successful policy!

We cannot ditch coal fast enough. Beyond the climate damage, it’s poisoning us.
“The EPA on Friday weakened pollution limits for coal-burning power plants, allowing them to release more heavy metals including mercury, a powerful neurotoxin linked to brain damage.”

"New housing in Oregon must be built with energy-efficient heat pumps instead of ducted air conditioning following an update to the state’s residential energy code." www.smartcitiesdive.com/news/heat-pu... via Ryan Kushner 🔌💡
We need stronger protections against manufactured opposition. Submitting a comment in a regulatory proceeding in someone’s name without their knowledge or consent needs to have real consequences.
Fossil fuel industry’s latest tactic: flood regulators with AI generated comments. In California, 20k+ fake AI emails helped kill @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social clean air rules. People actually want heat pumps, their efficiency, and cleaner/healthier indoor air. www.latimes.com/environment/...
Local and state governments are key to US climate policy and will keep moving forward. At @runonclimate.bsky.social, we’re advancing climate policy in partnership with city and county governments across the country.
We’ve come to take for granted what Trump is doing on climate and energy…
But this is insane, dangerous, outrageous, and willfully distorting reality.
Agent tampers with evidence and brags about shooting this woman and his colleagues love it.
We’re fortunate that Marimar Martinez wasn’t killed like Good and Pretti.
Another instance of DHS lying about what happened and smearing a preschool teacher as a domestic terrorist.
Just gave!
Especially for those of us in the climate and energy community, this fundraiser to pay energy bills for those affected by ICE terror is a great thing to donate to. #energysky

Ein vollkommen passender Vergleich. Natürlich ist nicht alles dasselbe aber in beiden Fällen:
-weit verbreitete, terrorisierende Gewalt
-Unterdrückung und Deportation von ethnischen Minderheiten mit dem Ziel, ihre Zahl im Land zu reduzieren
-Truppen neulich von einer autoritären Regierung errichtet

INSANE
Why are developers choosing to build all-electric homes? They’re faster and cheaper to construct than dual-fuel homes, and heat pumps are more efficient.
Also, fewer emissions and less indoor air pollution! @buildingdecarb.org @carabuckley.bsky.social

We're hiring our first ever Communications and Development Director!! Come work with me at @runonclimate.bsky.social! :)
Keep up the pressure and push harder. They’re feeling the heat. Congress gut ICE. Noem/Miller out.
