It’s one of the hottest days of the summer in New England—which means we could have to turn on the dirtiest, most expensive power plants to meet demand. You can reduce emissions and your energy bill by using less power (for instance, by waiting to do laundry) between 4-8 PM. @CLF

@JedThorp So sorry for your loss, Jed.

At the RI Senate Environment Committee to voice @CLF’s support for @AlanaDimario’s S-684 and other solar bills. Smart siting policies will allow RI to build the clean energy it needs to address the climate crisis while protecting its most critical green spaces.

The new analysis suggests that nearly 650,000 US children may have #asthma because of gas stove usage in their homes. https://t.co/F24LcMgPes

Also for England to lose to France, on a missed penalty, with so many top teams already out of the tournament, is just brutal. Not sure if it’s ever coming home at this rate.

[James Crowley @JamesCrowleyRI]

I’m thinking France over Argentina in the final is both the most likely and the least interesting outcome.

This is less than a mile from where I live. Soon I’ll be able to quickly travel to Boston without using a car for any part of the journey, which I think is pretty cool.

Good morning, from Pawtucket's new train station.

[James Crowley @JamesCrowleyRI]

To paraphrase a certain former VP, this bill is a pretty big deal. I feel more optimistic about our ability to meet the challenge of the climate crisis than I have in a long time.
There's still a lot of work to do, and we're going to keep fighting for action at every level.

States are moving ⚡️ fast to address climate change. Congratulations to Rhode Island for being the first state in the country to commit to 100% renewable energy by 2033. State action is critical to achieve our collective climate goals.

Good news: @MassAGO has asked the Department of Public Utilities to dismiss Liberty Gas’ request for approval to receive so-called “renewable” natural gas (aka biomethane, yet another dangerous, polluting fuel) for the next 20 years. A thread: 1/6 #MAPoli
