Hooray Vernice!!

Thanks to Chuck Schumer and the Inflation Reduction Act, New York will soon generate enough energy to power half a million homes through offshore wind. The clean energy revolution is here.

We can't eliminate fossil fuels overnight ... therefore ... we must expand fossil fuel extraction & continue using fossil fuels indefinitely.

You rarely see this (il)logic stated baldly, but it underlies a great deal of public discourse.

At last. This is a gigantic step forward in a generational fight against the chemical industry and its cancer-causing pollution. As my colleague Patrice Simms sums it up in the NYT: “In a very real sense this is about life and death.” nytimes.com/2024/04/09/cli…

The White House could soon undo the damage that the previous administration did to the Endangered Species Act. 'It's essential that the final rules fully recover the ESA,' says Abbie Dillen. The ESA is our best tool for addressing the biodiversity crisis. ejus.tc/4a7JJAU

The Trump Administration took its wrecking ball to the rules that make the Endangered Species Act work in practice. The Biden Administration is in the final stretch of making rules that must fully repair the damage. The ESA has never been more important. progressive.org/op-eds/our-sur…

.President Biden touched repeatedly on the need to address climate change and the promise of the new clean energy economy his administration is building.

It's essential to build on these successes with continued bold action.

There’s much to celebrate for this year’s #SOTU2024 when it comes to climate and environmental justice.

Here’s how the Biden administration can continue helping us reach our climate and environmental justice goals. #StateOfTheClimate earthjustice.org/experts/raul-g…

Another important smart take from Sam Sankar on the scary environmental implications of this Supreme Court.

As it turns out, the most successful period for progressive legislation in recent memory is having an impact

This is the first decision from any legal proceeding anywhere in the world where climate deniers have been held financially liable for their deceit.

Breaking my recent silence on this platform to say a huge thank you to Michael Regan, U.S. EPA @EPA and an INCREDIBLE coalition of clean air advocates for this new life-saving standard. Soot is a killer. Today’s rule is a very big milestone in our journey to clean up deadly pollution.

The Biden administration saw through the spin from the hydrogen industry's worst actors and proposed policies that will reserve lavish tax credits for hydrogen that is *actually* as clean as producers claim. ‼️‼️ earthjustice.org/press/2023/ear…

“EPA followed the science, listened to impacted communities, and proposed one of the strongest chemical regulations in recent history,” Earthjustice Attorney Jonathan Kalmuss-Katz said. “Some chemicals are simply too harmful to remain on the market.” apnews.com/article/tce-ep…

The U.S. EPA has released its locomotive preemption rule, reversing a 25-year loophole that left communities living near railyards breathing especially harmful diesel pollution. The decision is a critical step in cutting deadly diesel emissions in communities.earthjustice.org/press/2023/epa…

One of the greatest #rewilding projects ever. Can't get enough of this.

Major news - U.S. EPA has signed the authorization for California's life-saving at-berth regulation. This is huge news. Huge shout to MovingForwardNetwork members that pushed hard for this!

This has flown below the radar but the largest dam removal project in the *history of the world* is happening right now on the Klamath River - 3rd largest system on US west coast. Amazing! 400 miles of salmon habitat re-opened.
