Using bold solutions to build a cleaner, healthier world. We're finding the ways that work.

Revealing state-by-state comparisons show EV savings gap depend on where drivers "fuel" up, but the cost—and clean air—benefits CLEARLY favor clean autos. EV owners spent $106/month (vs.$149 for gas cars) since prices at the pump skyrocketed in Feb. https://t.co/UWtyuk1g7t

Solar & wind power proved superheroes as electricity demand hit highest levels on record & pushed grids to limits during recent relentless heat wave—"a feat that wouldn’t have been possible without clean energy’s massive growth over the past few years." https://t.co/VzqQ1wrtFb

The Trump administration wants political appointees—not experts—to decide which federal grants get funded.

Politics don’t belong in science—that's why EDF and others are fighting back. Learn more: https://t.co/JcWV2ylvzh

Revealing look at massive marine heat wave that appears poised to produce record-shattering climate events as "what happens in the ocean doesn’t stay in the ocean." Pacific wave covers area 8x size of U.S. (~13.5% of Earth's total surface). https://t.co/CY7A46VdRt

During another record hot summer, people in Western states can now take advantage of a new, behind-the-scenes marketplace that can help hold down customers electric bills by taking full advantage of the region’s clean energy resources: https://t.co/FivyxtyRN7

Europe's record-breaking June heatwave may have set the stage for another growing threat: Wildfire smoke.

Protecting people means addressing climate and health together—because interconnected challenges require interconnected solutions. https://t.co/BUN9Tyj6O5

Utility-scale solar ramps up the wattage at a torrid pace with major projects rapidly emerging as main source of new U.S. power capacity, per analysis. Total 42,971 megawatts expected this year (34k of that coming June-Dec) — overall 45% increase vs. 2025. https://t.co/ViJSqpZzOa

CA bolsters its long-term clean air goals with fresh round of EV rebates—a move that covers new AND used vehicles for 1st-time buyers. A straightforward solution to tailpipe pollution again shows states delivering on strong clean energy policies. https://t.co/7Mg5G9v8Sg

Unsurprisingly, reducing the amount of traffic in parts of New York City has not only improved air quality but reduced ambulance response times — potentially a life-saver with “economic benefits.” https://t.co/QXixURhvl2

[EDF @EnvDefenseFund]

We already know NYC’s congestion relief program has measurably improved air quality in parts of the city. Now, research is showing it has lowered ambulance response times, a welcome side effect that “emerged quickly following the January 2025 congestion price implementation.”

[Congestion Pricing Now @FundTransitNow]

We've long known congestion pricing improves New Yorkers' lives. Now, there's strong evidence it's saving them, too.

For too long, chemicals in U.S. consumer products faced little oversight, and EPA had limited power to act.

Sarah is among many Americans who have experienced the real-world consequences. Since 2016, we’ve made strong progress—but now, it's at risk: https://t.co/T4PsNhtdah

EU eyes a BOLD shift to fast-track clean energy across entire economies by 2040—an electrifying move to vastly & rapidly reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Plan would set minimum % of clean power and put EVs & heat pumps at forefront of positive policies. https://t.co/VaVkePucto

CA clean energy trifecta rolls solar power, water conservation & efficient land use into pilot project for panels over irrigation canals. Researchers estimate 63B gallons of water saved annually (enough to serve 2M people) across state's canals. https://t.co/qlFJqIkQQR

How are children and communities impacted by harmful diesel pollution?

EDF’s Neda Deylami and @CleanAirMoms' Kindra Weir explain why we need strong protections for this dangerous threat to our health and safety.

Alewives serve as a “biological conveyor belt” from ocean to inland waters, a vital part of local ecosystems & economies. Amazing Maine conservation success was a decades-long effort that combined dam removals, migration channels, and rock pools. https://t.co/RezIx1ggaV

EV battery tech powers ahead & improves long-lasting reliability with the average clean car keeping 95% of original range even after five years, per industry data. Falling battery prices (down 90% from 2010) bring lower costs, and help shift perceptions. https://t.co/8Mk4LXXfiK

[EDF @EnvDefenseFund]

🚘⚡ EV charging networks keep rolling out the kilowatts as retailers nationwide recognize the shift to clean cars with driver/customer demand. Exhibit A: Walmart doubled its plug-in ports in the past two months (now offering 612 stalls in 17 states). https://t.co/ksbnSavGPi
