Dale wants to pioneer his fantasy bio-gas instead. Heat pump tech works and is widely accepted as one of the main technologies for cutting our emissions, so he's feeding the Murdoch press with anti-solutions propaganda.
When you've sunk a lot of money in a hare-brained biogas scheme and you see an actually workable energy technology getting all the attention...
Wow, this is shameful FUD.
New Yorkers will be at the governor's office today to ask her not to be a fossil fuel champion like Trump.
The idea that the gas industry is planning a "comeback" in New York in 2026 should disqualify any politician who is in charge.
Too many fossil fuel dems. Voters need to remedy that.
Key Insights Wind industry sets a new benchmark, as installations hit a record 165 GW last year, (up 40% on the previous record year of new capacity). China, USA and India lead new wind capacity additions driven by high demand for onshore wind Global wind power hit 1,299 GW, as governments turn to homegrown renewable energy 28,395 wind turbines were installed across 57 countries in 2026 138 countries worldwide are now powered with wind energy.
Genuinely great to see record-high wind power installations in 2025

Wondered if you're aware of how much UK electricity is now capable of being produced by wind/solar. Here it is right now... The wholesale price is £55/MWhr - on days like this it's usually more like £10/MWhr as there is so much wind/solar, but the price of gas is propping it up... grid.iamkate.com
This is my favourite graphic.
It's incredible how far DAYTIME solar has already come with almost no batteries.
Just think how this will change with batteries, when instead of daytime solar, we get DISPATCHABLE solar.
The solar boom is only just starting...

Lots of progressives kvetching about would-be California Governor Tom Steyer because he's a billionaire. But he's a billionaire who feels the climate crisis in his bones. If @leahstokes.bsky.social and @billmckibben.bsky.social trust him, maybe Democrats should?
One headline that shows why fossil fuel interests are *pouring* money into far-right political parties.
INSANELY powerful speech about one of the most evil, legal industries: Big Tobacco.
This industry kills 8+ million people/year. More than HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria combined. The #1 cause of preventable death on earth.
Yet the fight against it gets just 0.1% of global health funding. 🧵
By far the most effective Secretary of State:
Energy disinformation is the new climate denial.
