Amen. Despite the noise, the world is making astonishing progress in energy right now.

A clean energy future isn’t just possible, it’s now inevitable.

The only question is whether it happens fast enough. And how much damage legacy, dirty energy will do on their way out.

Today we have 400,000 MWs of stand alone battery projects stuck in the interconnection queue because grid operators think the batteries have to be able to charge at the wrong times (at peak) to be interconnected. Makes zero sense. datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/grid-i…

It would be rather dumb of NY Assembly Majority to green light massive gas rate hikes in an election year; this will hurt, not help Carl E. Heastie’s marginal members and he can still save them from the wrath of constituents about to get sticker shocks with their gas bills.
#NYHEAT

Marie French National Grid NY Building Decarb Coalition NYLCV AGREE New York The assembly better get ready to face the ire of constituents over utility rate hikes.

The only way to counter the fossil fuel lobby is to add our voices in support of #NYHEAT -- call Carl E. Heastie, the Assembly Speaker, today: 518-455-3791. #ClimateJobsJustice

👀 Just Al Gore ⁦Al Gore⁩ out here calling CO2 capture and storage a climate fraud.

“Seriously. They are way better at capturing politicians than they are at capturing emissions.”

What a waste of money and time...

Jesse D. Jenkins Robert Howarth Real-world carbon capture rates for coal plants, natural gas processing, and blue hydrogen production are all 30-80%, with over half under 57%. Never 90%.

...and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and codify Roe v. Wade, and make D.C. a state.... Anyone worried about the consequences of destroying the filibuster should understand that the MINUTE these Repubs get the chance, that's exactly what they'll do.

“The Cornell chambers, which are the only ones of their kind in the United States, will be climate-controlled and monitor all emissions from an animal throughout the course of a day, thus allowing for accurate measurements of greenhouse gas emissions.” cals.cornell.edu/news/2024/04/c…

We need to stop falling for industrial carbon capture schemes that are designed to benefit Big Oil.

This news is coming as state budget negotiations continue. #NYHEAT is the energy affordability policy on the table. Will Governor Kathy Hochul Carl E. Heastie be responsible for allowing rate hikes like these to continue? Or will they rein them in?

France needs to stop importing #LNG from the U.S. It's the dirtiest energy there is. Also TotalEnergies is causing harm to the health of Americans. They drill rignt in the middle of homes and next to children. This site releases methane and VOCs so close to where we live.
