For the morning crew, I was really happy to chat with @brianpjcronin.bsky.social for this piece about the fight in NY over whether we'll lean into a clean energy future.

And some of the tools NY hasn't yet pulled from their toolbox: virtual power plants and demand response.

Artemis II Flight Day 2: Orion Completes TLI Burn, Crew Begins Journey to the Moon - NASA NASA’s Artemis II crew is on the way to the Moon.

With everything else going on, spend some time with the fact that yesterday, after the successful Trans Lunar Injection burn, the crew of Artemis II became the first humans to leave Earth orbit since 1972. They will travel further from Earth than anyone ever has. www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio...

When CCL Bozeman noticed a major lack of snow this season, they got creative with a public display of homemade snow people. Their efforts earned them a segment on two local TV channels!

Way to get crafty for climate change awareness 💪 #grassrootsclimate

This Is the Most Promising Climate Tech Company, According to People Who Know Plus, the technology our experts say is least ready for primetime.

Experts say Fervo Energy is one of the most promising climate tech companies out there.

It is "slated to open a 100-megawatt enhanced geothermal system next year," @heatmap.news reports.

CCL's Geothermal Action Team is hosting an event next week to hear from them!

EPA move shows urgent need for congressional climate action Today’s decision reveals in stark terms that regulations alone are not a reliable path to enduring climate action.

Today's news lands heavily for all in the climate/public health space. Years of scientific work led to the #endangerment finding. Its repeal matters for emissions & trust in science. At @cclusa.org we remain focused on durable bipartisan solutions in Congress citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/news/ep...

America's aging power grid infrastructure is tested every time we experience intense weather events. Relying on fossil fuels just isn't a long-term strategy. 👎

E&E News: How Congress came to approve a long-shot carbon trade bill Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer kept a “cone of silence” around his "PROVE IT Act" as it was tucked into a spending package.

Language from the PROVE IT Act was included in a funding package that is now law!

"It's like so many legislative accomplishments. It starts years before it's accomplished," Sen. Cramer told @eenews.bsky.social.

CCL is part of the story of those years... 🧵 subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

We can disagree on policy and still agree that violence that violates human life is unacceptable. What is happening in Minneapolis, especially this morning’s horrifying, senseless shooting crosses that line. For the sake of protecting life, dignity, safety and de-escalation, ICE needs to leave MN.

Trump moves to dismantle major US climate research center in Colorado The Trump administration is breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

CCL applauds the reintroduction of the Clean Competition Act from @whitehouse.senate.gov & @repdelbene.bsky.social!

The bill "would give domestic companies a step up in the global marketplace while lowering emissions at home & abroad," Sen Whitehouse says.

Human-caused climate change is settled science.

Our grassroots volunteers will continue to lobby Congress for evidence-based climate solutions, no matter what the EPA's website says.

Our Fix Our Forests advocacy in 2025 As the Fix Our Forests Act awaits a floor vote in the Senate, let’s take a look back at our 2025 advocacy efforts to advance this bill.

U.S. forests offset 12% of our annual climate pollution, with the potential to do even more. But with wildfires increasing, they need some help.

That's why we've worked hard to support the #FixOurForests Act this year!

Here's what we've been up to: citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/policy/...

Tell Congress to Work on Clean Energy Permitting Reform We made progress on clean energy permitting reform last Congress, but we need to move faster with a new, bipartisan legislative package in this Congress.

This week, I will be lobbying Congress along with 100's of other members of @cclusa.org to get more clean energy and transmission lines on the grid so we can accelerate away from fossil fuels. Give your Reps and Senators a call here to give us a boost.
