Renewables are booming! 💥

Our research, featured in a CNN op-ed by Tom Steyer, explores how #CleanEnergy is becoming more affordable and accessible than ever before: cnn.it/3JcKZH1 Galvanize Climate Solutions

Just released: @EPRInews & NRDC 🌎🏡 study finds that #EV efficiency improvements have the potential to significantly reduce future electric
infrastructure buildout, energy usage, & consumer costs over the next 3 decades. Happy to contribute to the scenarios. epri.com/research/produ…

Traditional steelmaking pollutes local communities and contributes up to 11% of global CO2 emissions every year. Reducing those emissions will likely involve using renewables-based #hydrogen instead of coal to process iron ore for steelmaking. bit.ly/3JdMtRr

Today on Volts: urbanists like to claim that urban land use is a major climate policy tool. But how much can smarter land use really do for emissions? What's the scale here? I discuss it with the authors of a recent RMI report on the subject.

The climate challenge posed by landfills is clearer than ever — but so are the solutions, argues former U.S. EPA administrator Gina McCarthy.

1 in 4 adults skip meals or meds to pay energy bills.

It's time to prioritize lower-cost energy with economic dispatch. Less strain on wallets means more security for families. 👏

We joined Peril & Promise on PBS with our partners @CarbonMapper and Nexus Media News to talk about how technology is shedding light on #methane leaks and driving action to reduce #emissions and raise awareness of their harmful effects. to.pbs.org/3JaTF0J

The move to #ElectrifyEverything is crucial for our climate goals. 🌍

How can our grid support it? Through demand response, virtual power plants, and a mix of big & small wire solutions: bit.ly/4cRZXjl

Exciting announcement from Clean Energy Buyers Association!

Rich Powell's deep understanding of new clean energy technologies and global energy market dynamics will help further accelerate clean energy for all!

CEBA began as a collaborative between RMI, BSR, World Resources Inst, and WWF.

Did you know that there are more than a dozen satellites currently scanning the Earth to identify key sources of #methane and other #climate pollutants?

🗑 Landfills are a menace to our climate—belching far more of the super-pollutant methane than previously known.

@CarbonMapper proved it with data now in Science Magazine + covered by The New York Times: nytimes.com/2024/03/28/cli…

The global threat is clear—but so are the local solutions.
