So many of the countries that export fossil fuels are bad actors on the world stage. It's clear that the "measured" response to Russia's invasion is largely due to reliance on Russian oil. 1/
Sustainable, clean, locally produced energy is the future. If not for the climate, then for national security, human rights, and the stability of democracies around the world. 3/3
It is well documented that many other dirty energy exporters support terror and human rights abuses.
This isn't new information, and it's astonishing to me that the US still hasn't acted aggressively on it. It's well past time we eliminate our reliance on fossil fuels. 2/
The net metering “cost shift” debate has been manufactured by utilities to pit customer against customer. Utilities are using this “divide and conquer” tactic to keep folks fighting among themselves so they don’t unite to hold monopolies accountable.

Unbelievably cruel and callous. But I guess this proves “beyond doubt all lives matter” is just a convenient slogan to diminish calls for civil rights. He doesn’t believe it at all.
Praising his own virus response as deaths near 200,000, Trump says, "if you take the blue states out, we're at a level I don't think anybody in the world would be at."

@tonylcasillas@rewiringamerica Thanks Tony! Certainly true #FossilFuels supply is a limiting factor long term. IMHO emissions is the much bigger problem and on a much shorter time horizon. Even if we moved to zero emissions today we would still see many bad effects of #ClimateChange for years to come!

@LizHersch1@rewiringamerica If a Minimum occurred, solar scientists estimate it would be about -0.1 W/m2, the same impact of about three years of current carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration growth. https://t.co/CFJwd0BrBl

My friend @SMeieran — a Portland ER doctor and County Commissioner — was tear gassed by Donald Trump’s occupying army for peacefully protesting. If you’re not terrified by what’s happening in Portland right now, you’re not paying attention.
