NYC Congestion Pricing Is Improving Air Quality, but Trump Pushback Threatens Its Future - Inside Climate News A toll program in New York City has resulted in environmental gains across all five boroughs. The Trump administration is seeking to end it.

NYC's congestion pricing is a big success: Cleaner air and the fewest number of traffic deaths in recorded history. Trump, though, is choosing gridlock over human lives and is actively sabotaging our right to breathe.

NYC's future is green, transit-forward and breathable. We won't go back. ✊

Iran’s black rain is latest grim example of weather in war zones Strikes on oil facilities burned thousands of tons of stored fuel, producing a pall of toxic smoke

People in Iran are literally breathing and eating poison right now.

The bombing of oil sites has triggered "black rain" that's soaking into the soil and water. Families are facing a nightmare of contaminated food and toxic air that will cause health problems for years. Heartbreaking. 💔

🌎 Get ready for #EarthMonth this April! 🏞️
We’re launching our FIFTH annual Earth Month Mobilization to protect people and our planet. From local cleanups to legislative panels, it’s time to act. ✊💪

How Will the War in Iran Affect Your Utility Bills? - Inside Climate News Conflict in the Middle East could have major repercussions for U.S. electricity and natural gas prices. Some states, like Pennsylvania, are particularly vulnerable.

Oil giants and warmongers win — we lose. When oil prices spike, it’s not just at the pump — it's your utility bill too, as 40% of US electricity is powered by gas. Trump’s reckless war is a direct hit to our pockets and our safety. We need energy independence, not more conflict.

On the right, Jane Fonda stands outdoors against a background of solar panels and a blue sky. She is smiling and wearing a cream-colored hoodie with a graphic of a woman and the word "ACT" on the front. Large, yellow 3D-style text at the top reads "Phonebank," followed by "WITH JANE FONDA" in a smaller black and white font. A white jagged speech bubble in the center says, "For the SRP Clean Energy Slate."Seven circular headshots of other participants are arranged in a grid to the left of Fonda. Small logos of co-hosting organizations on the bottom right include Lead Locally, Jane Fonda Climate PAC, GRAYPAC and the DNC Council on the Environment and Climate Crisis.

The path to a clean energy future is through local utility boards.

Virginia has a data center boon. Officials debate whether it's time to scrap its tax breaks Over the past 18 years, Virginia became the world's largest data hub. The debate taking place there comes as dozens of communities nationwide are fighting data centers in local zoning meetings.

👏 Good for the Virginia Senators moving forward on ending corporate welfare for data centers. The hyper rich billionaire CEOs of data centers don't need working families' tax $$. #EndCorporateWelfare #DataCenters

Revealed: the world’s worst mega-leaks of methane driving global heating Exclusive: Fixing a leak can be simple and equivalent to closing a coal power station, making lack of action maddening, say analysts

Methane is a hyper-potent greenhouse gas, trapping 20x more heat over 20 years than CO2. The largest US leak, in Texas, is "equivalent to running about a million fuel-guzzling SUVs." It's apparently operated by #EnergyTranfer - which declined comment...
