#Datacenters shouldn’t be powered by dirty fuels while Virginians foot the bill. Our legislators must ensure the tech industry’s growth is paired with clean, affordable energy.

URGENT! A dangerous, dirty data center bill is moving through the MD General Assembly. Email your Maryland lawmakers to tell them this dirty data center bill — SB 26 — needs to be stopped in its tracks: act.ccanactionfund.org/page/95934/a...

VA's current #election will likely determine the majority in the U.S. Congress next year. This #vareferendum on Congressional #redistricting will fight back against undemocratic gerrymandering. Make sure you vote on or before April 21!

Today, Maryland students rallied in Annapolis to demand clean energy and climate action, calling on legislators to pass the Affordable Solar Act and protect programs that ensure a livable future for all.

Research shows that households that use heating oil, propane, & electric resistance can save up to $2,000/yr by upgrading to a heat pump & heat pump water heater. Maryland can deliver those savings by investing in EmPOWER. Read more: www.baltimoresun.com/2026/03/19/m...
The Extreme Weather Taxpayer Relief Act shifts the costs of extreme weather from taxpayers to Big Oil. Major thanks to Delegate Rae Cousins for championing this Act to make sure Virginia families aren’t left footing the bill for climate disasters.

Virginia did this.
Thanks especially to Delegate

Starting Jan 2027. Somebody tell COSTCO to please be ready!!
I hope Maryland will soon become the third.
Soon, Virginians will be able to buy plug-in, balcony solar panels—just like any home appliance—to lower their energy bills. With this law, Virginia becomes the 2nd state in the nation to make balcony solar accessible.

"If you want to build a data center in Montgomery County, it must run on 100 percent clean energy. Not offsets. Not taxbreaks. That's why I'm introducing a bill for a 2-yr moratorium, so that we can get it right" - MoCo County Executive Candidate Will Jawando
"I'm team BYONCE - Bring Your Own New Clean Energy" - MoCo County Executive Candidate Andrew Friedson
"As you know my bill to create a Data Center Task Force was voted down....The fight is not stopping, whatever happens in Montgomery county, we will get it right" - MoCo County Executive Candidate Evan Glass
"This project alone can increase our county's pollution by 1-2%" - Mustafa Abdullah, Director of Campaigns and Strategies, CCAN Action Fund

#MoCo Council blocked a bill to create a data center task force. The proposed Dickerson facility could emit pollution equal to 200,000 cars if not powered by 100% clean energy. The County’s Climate Action Plan is at risk!

Big win: Virginia just became the 2nd state to pass #BalconySolar, letting renters & condo dwellers plug into our affordable clean energy future. Many thanks to patrons @ssurovell.bsky.social & @paulkrizek.bsky.social! Next stop: Gov. Spanberger’s desk.

The solution to lower MD bills: The Break STRIDE Act (HB1253) is a proposal by Dylan Behler to repeal the STRIDE law, which provides customer-funded financial incentives to BGE and other gas utilities to replace gas pipes and equipment. #BreakSTRIDEAct #ElectricityBills
BGE has spent $1.4 billion on “Operation Pipeline,” its pipeline replacement program. If BGE completes its proposed $4 billion in gas pipeline spending, it could cost customers $19.5 billion to pay back, largely due to BGE’s profits. #BreakSTIRDE
MD consumer advocate, People’s Counsel David Lapp. Lapp and other consumer advocates argue that allowing Exelon, or any utility, to build in-state generation would put customers on the hook for the buildout and bear the risk of stranded assets.
HB1561/SB954 is the controversial proposal to enable a regulated utility to build generation in the state. Customers served by Exelon utilities, including Pepco, Delmarva Power, and BGE (a combined gas and electric utility) have faced rapidly rising delivery rates! #BreakSTRIDE
The House Environment and Transportation Committee is holding hearings on two pieces of legislation later today (HB1561 and HB1253) related to Baltimore Gas and Electric’s (BGE) “Operation Pipeline” pipe replacement program and proposal from the utility to build new power generation.

“We need a commission that’s actually going to move forward planning for a managed and clean energy transition in the city. And we just feel like the current leaders haven’t shown over the last four years that they’re really willing to take that on.” wamu.org/story/26/03/...
Environmental leaders are sounding the alarm: the proposed Dickerson #datacenter could sink Montgomery County’s #climate goals. The Montgomery County Council needs to require 100% #cleanenergy for the proposed Dickerson data center. @gonatureforward.bsky.social

Message your MD legislators and urge them to pass the Affordable Solar Act ASAP. @ccanactionfund.bsky.social
Thank you @creighdeeds.bsky.social for introducing SB465 to protect Virginia ratepayers & our energy future. Although this bill didn't pass, there is still time to pass data center reform. It's time to make sure big tech pays its fair share!

S/O to the nearly 100 D.C residents who testified at a council oversight hearing on the DC Public Service Commission on Friday. It's time for new leaders and lower bills!
