🧵 Climate change is here and its impacts are being felt in every part of the country. The good news is that we have the tools to solve the climate crisis. We just need to make sure everyone has what they need to do their part. That’s why today we’re launching Counterspark.

New England had to turn to oil-fired power during a May heat wave. Not in the depth of winter, and not at the height of summer. May, before the hardest part of the season had even started.

- the stategovernor's official rundown of what the law does and when each piece kicks in.

A new Illinois energy law takes effect today. It targets the electric bills that have been climbing across the state.

[Counterspark @CountersparkUS]

The timing is important. As the federal government cuts the clean energy tax credits that made these projects cheap to build, Illinois is doing the opposite and locking in the supply that keeps prices in check.

We spend our days fighting for a livable climate and a grid that supports communities because the future is worth building for. But it's only worth it if everyone gets to live in that future freely.
This Pride Month, we want to explicitly say: that includes the LGBTQ+ community.

Clean energy gives countries more control over their energy future.
A new international report points to the energy security reality that countries that build more clean power are less exposed to global fossil fuel price shocks.

[Counterspark @CountersparkUS]

For the U.S., this should be treated as an energy independence argument. Building clean power here means more affordable energy, stronger domestic industry, and less vulnerability to the next global fuel shock.

The grid is in better shape than ever this summer thanks to the help of new clean energy.

The latest summer reliability assessment says new resources have outpaced demand growth and helped boost reserves, with solar and battery additions helping meet rising demand in many areas.

[Counterspark @CountersparkUS]

This matters when heat pushes electricity use higher. Solar adds power during high-demand daytime hours. Batteries give operators another tool when the grid gets tight.

More clean energy means more tools to keep the grid reliable when demand rises. Clean energy wins again.
