Hanging By A Thread Call For Artists
We strive to collaborate and to create a visceral and emotional experience that inspires the necessary adaptations in human behavior and industry to save our future.
The existence of humanity, figuratively & literally, is hanging by a thread
“At a social cost of carbon of $190 a ton, the utility industry averaged damages more than twice its profits. Materials manufacturing, energy and transportation industries all had average damages that exceeded their profits.” https://t.co/umcB4lCEze
Thank you, @CMSCougars, @ClarkChargers, Rex Bell Elementary and @CIS_Nevada for hosting me today. It was an honor to help replenish some supplies for your resource rooms & learn about how #CIS site coordinators engage students & families in #SD3. #nvleg
"We should be paying teachers," @donderoloopnv said. "That's what it was for. Senate Bill 231 was identified for funding for teacher raises throughout the state."

NV Energy is proposing that its Southern Nevada coverage area should cover about 60% of the project’s cost, and its Northern Nevada area will cover the remaining 40%. https://t.co/lzlS5OZCFk
Infrastructure plan for projects, $1.56 billion solar facility in Northern Nevada, $83 million converting NV Energy’s last coal plant to run on natural gas, $54 million to prolong a power plant’s life cycle https://t.co/lzlS5OZCFk
Why not $1.3 billion for renewables?
Our educators deserve a fair contract with substantial raises. That's what we appropriated record funding for at #nvleg, and that's what we expect the district to do!
The data doesn’t lie—voters prefer @POTUS’ clean energy plan over Republicans’ proposed Project 2025.
Climate action is life or death, and the American people deserve leadership that recognizes the urgency of the climate crisis.

"Pay them what they’re worth," said @senator_neal.
The Senator thinks the district should be audited if they don't provide educators with more money.
"This money does not belong to them," said Neal. "It's taxpayer dollars.”

His piece, “Red Car Requiem,” located in the station’s concourse, is an electrifying, warmly-colored mosaic paying homage to the Pacific Electric “red cars” that once populated the city and connected much of Southern California https://t.co/tkWyzVvAdR
"We are not making any additional profits off of these rate increases. It is truly just recovering the actual cost for that gas." https://t.co/XgqVrB7k0R
When you read the @nytimes article about how natural gas is actually just as bad from a climate perspective as coal and then see NV Energy proposing gas generation to replace coal to "reduce emissions".... 🤔🤔🤔

ANOTHER new gas plant is a lose-lose for Nevadans: either it runs a lot and exposes customers to high, volatile fossil fuel prices and pollution, or you barely run it at all but leave customers paying for it to sit idle.

“The facts tell us the general public is not the problem; the fossil fuel industry & other vested interests are; we have the solutions, we know what to do, the obstacles are political.” We can’t afford to be climate doomers | Rebecca Solnit | The Guardian https://t.co/E6Z62FXA3S
July has already seen:
The hottest three-week period ever recorded.
The three hottest days on record.
The highest-ever ocean temperatures for this time of year.
It is still possible to avoid the very worst of climate change, but only with dramatic, immediate #ClimateAction.
Maine is pumped about heat pumps! The Pine Tree State met their goal of installing 100,000 new heat pumps two years ahead of schedule. Now, they’re aiming to install 175,000 more by 2027. So yes, they work in cold weather. https://t.co/wlXbBfA6kU
.@NVEnergy is proposing to spend millions more on fossil fuels, and is using a regulatory loophole to get it approved.
But without a competitive procurement, @ssteinberg310 shares the utility cannot know if it has proposed the best deal for ratepayers. https://t.co/EAEXd2uVnx
