Feels great when our work at @FrontierGroupUS has a real world impact.

New York City responds to our investigation with @EnvAm and @NYPIRG highlighting persistent problems with lead contamination in school drinking water across New York State. https://t.co/qhOuAnGndw

@TimSheehyMT We already have enough data centers to live our digital lives. We even have enough data centers to incorporate AI into all our existing apps and flood social media with slop. The idea that we need more data centers so normies can have internet services we already have is bogus.

Many pets eat the same food day after day, sometimes for years. If that food contains PFAS, it could mean repeated exposure to these forever chemicals over time. Nilou Yaar explores why keeping PFAS out of pet food and packaging matters. https://t.co/3EeMvOwer8

I love seeing happy sheep grazing near solar panels. The solar punk future is coming! My report with @EnvironmentTex explains how nature, ag and renewables can work together in Texas (and beyond).

[Frontier Group @FrontierGroupUS]

Mowing the ground underneath solar panels or the use of herbicides can degrade the land and increase runoff. Modern solar land management practices not only mitigate those concerns, but also provide other benefits to the land, wildlife and communities. https://t.co/DJsl6Njg68

Charging EVs a flat annual fee for the roads is like charging a flat fee for an all-you-can-eat buffet – to get your money’s worth, you need to consume more. That means more road damage and more congestion. https://t.co/Dck5Jfo7Yb

[Quentin Good @QuentinGood4]

We need more renewable energy to reduce fossil fuel pollution, but renewables can also impact the environment and wildlife. My new report @FrontierGroupUS and @EnvironmentTex explains how it can be built and operated responsibly in Texas (and beyond) https://t.co/DcKdkxm7u5

I'm really proud of the work I've been doing with @FrontierGroupUS to track power plant retirement delays. These dinosaurs are a serious detriment to the climate and the health of nearby communities, and we need to close them sooner than later.

[Frontier Group @FrontierGroupUS]

Some of the oldest and dirtiest power plants in the nation are staying online to help power data centers. 17 power plants with delayed retirements were responsible for more than 3% of NOx and SO2 pollution from the U.S. electricity sector in 2023. https://t.co/M3n9AdM8XN

Musicians such as @guster, @KaceyMusgraves and @MassiveAttackUK are known for their commitment to environmental causes. What can fans do to reduce the environmental footprint of live music? Quentin Good explores. https://t.co/2slZj7r4xj

[Frontier Group @FrontierGroupUS]

Live music contributes significantly to climate pollution and environmental waste, but it doesn’t have to. @QuentinGood4's new article explains how the industry can undergo a key change. https://t.co/2slZj7r4xj

[Tony Dutzik @FrontierTony]

Whatever you think about the long-term impact of AI on the climate, in the near term, it's helping to keep some of America's dirtiest power plants running - and polluting - years after they should have been closed. @QuentinGood4 dug up the details.

[Frontier Group @FrontierGroupUS]

Rising electricity demand, including for data centers, is increasing our reliance on fossil fuels – putting our health and climate at risk. Here are some of the power plants, once scheduled to retire, that are now being kept open due to rising demand. 🧵

[Frontier Group @FrontierGroupUS]

America has been moving away from coal-fired power – a big win for our air and the climate. But the growth of U.S. data centers is giving coal plants a new purpose: fueling the AI boom. See which plants are being kept open longer than planned. https://t.co/5RVaa5jCmw

[Frontier Group @FrontierGroupUS]

Fossil fuel power plants across the U.S. are getting a new lease on life due to energy demand from data centers. We identified nearly 16,500 MW of capacity at U.S. power plants that will be kept open longer than originally planned. https://t.co/5RVaa5jCmw
