Thank you New York Attorney General @TishJames for helping lead the fight against the Trump administration’s billion dollar attack on clean power, good paying jobs, and lower energy bills. https://t.co/y3gVbZw5xL

Good morning with good news: US clean generation set three major records in March!

RE & nuclear were a record high 52.4% of US power.

Fossil fuels share plunged to 47.6%, lowest share ever.

RE (35.1%) generated more electricity than gas (34.4%) for a month for 1st time.

South Fork Wind is setting the standard for U.S. offshore wind!

Producing enough energy to power 70k homes and generating electricity 99% of the days it has been in operation, it’s delivering reliable energy while creating over 1k jobs. Read more here: https://t.co/IK4STsPADQ

FACTCHECK – FALSE: US energy secretary Chris Wright thinks coal will still be world's top source of electricity "when I die". But solar is set to overtake coal in the early 2030s – and wind soon after.

America’s clean energy future is being held back by outdated policies and political interference—not by economics or technology. Americans deserve lower utility bills, good-paying jobs, cleaner air, and communities that prosper from transitioning to clean energy. https://t.co/0LviNJ8RS0

We all should be talking about this.

NRDC lawyer and legal director of Climate & Energy, Meredith Hankins, breaks down the Trump administration’s latest attack on our climate and health.

I'm proud that NRDC is lifting up its voice and speaking out on the chaos unfolding in our country and the pressing and crucial issues that threaten and harm all of us.

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

Some may ask why a group like ours would weigh in at this moment. While we have all witnessed the chaos unfolding across the country, we at NRDC are also deeply concerned by how it impacts every aspect of civil society, including our work to protect the environment. 1/2

@AmtrakNECAlerts How’s it looking for train 2109 from NYP to DC tomorrow at 8:00 am?

Such an important and well-explained article from @maxinejoselow https://t.co/9YDTtRHR5B

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Congestion pricing works.

The Trump administration is trying to reverse our progress, gutting life-saving protections and approving dangerous fossil fuel projects. We’ve been fighting for the environment for over five decades, and this year won’t be any different.

[NYC CLC, AFL-CIO @CentralLaborNYC]

“Once again, the Trump administration is halting offshore wind projects that were already approved and underway, pulling the rug out from under workers for the second time this year,” said Brendan Griffith, President, NYCCLC, AFL-CIO.

[NYLCV @nylcv]

President Trump has attacked clean energy once again with an attempt to halt offshore wind projects that would deliver more than 1.7 gigawatts of clean energy to Americans.

@GovKathyHochul is spot on - offshore wind means thousands of good union jobs, clean power, and energy reliability and security for our state. Political attacks won't stop NY from leading on clean energy and standing up for our workers.

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

The Trump administration should use this court ruling as a wake-up call: it’s time to stop illegal actions and get out of the way of a clean energy future.

Wind power is giving New Yorkers what they deserve: clean energy, a stronger grid, and thousands of good jobs. And even as Trump and his allies try to hold us back, New York is pushing ahead and proving what real clean energy leadership looks like.

Good morning with good news: Global solar grew by 498 TWh (+31%) in Q1-Q3 2025, compared to 2024, "the largest increase ever over a nine-month period."

Global solar output in first 3 quarters of 2025 already surpassed total output in all of 2024.

.@SPPorg (the Southwest Power Pool, serving the central Great Plains states) approved a new regional transmission plan with $8.6 billion in projects, including ~950 miles of ultra-high voltage 765 kV lines, and with estimated benefits 18X the costs More of this please!

[Kit Kennedy @NRDCKit]

Congrats team Illinois Clean Jobs! Great to have this win to celebrate!

[Illinois Clean Jobs @ILCleanJobs]

BREAKING: The Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act has passed both the House and Senate, and is now headed to @GovPritzker’s desk! The CRGA Act will help lower energy bills across the state, while doubling the clean energy investment made in CEJA. https://t.co/rGZNu7T6gx
