“New research…exposes the staggering extent of these investments, revealing that the energy portfolios of leading private equity firms are responsible for 1.17 gigatons of annual emissions—concentrated in sectors like upstream fossil fuels, LNG terminals, and coal plants.”

[RenewComm @RenewComm]

@JesseJenkins Meanwhile in the US, $6 trillion in private equity is still investing in fossil fuels, like Blackstone's stake in Ohio's Gavin coal plant, "dirtiest in America." Yes on this chart, "% FF COMPANIES IN PORTFOLIO" means exactly what you think it means. See https://t.co/O5NMe11E1B

@GlobalEnergyMon Their carbon footprint equals all the airplanes in the world. To offset it you'd need to cover France in pine trees 2 times over. Or put solar rooftops on 11 times the number of houses in the U.S.

[Global Energy Monitor @GlobalEnergyMon]

⚠️ BREAKING: The 2024 Private Equity Climate Risks Scorecard is out! The top 21 private equity firms have funneled trillions into fossil fuels, contributing over 1.17 gigatons of CO2 emissions annually. Top emitters: Carlyle, Brookfield, EIG.

What a day! Our clean energy future is unfolding before our eyes, with big construction milestones for both South Fork Wind and Vineyard Wind.

I know people generally recommend light reading for the summer. But I’d suggest that the new book by @jeffgoodell - which went on sale today - is the most important book you could read right now. Full of compelling characters and vivid scenes, it goes by in a flash.

#OffshoreWind jobs are delivering incredible benefits for workers and their families. In Maximo’s case: a pension, medical benefits, home ownership, and a whole lot of pride in his work.

#OffshoreWind jobs are delivering incredible benefits for workers and their families. In Maximo’s case: a pension, medical benefits, home ownership, and a whole lot of pride in his work. As offshore wind projects continue, thousands of workers get great union jobs just like his:

As @SusannahHatch told the Globe: "We are so alarmingly behind on clean energy in this country." But by the end of the year, Vineyard Wind will put in 62 #offshorewind turbines. We can't let misinformation keep us behind our #cleanenergy goals.

Colorado is thrilled to be home to Global Thermostat’s headquarters and new direct air capture plant.

Thank you, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, for joining me in Colorado for this special event.

This a HUGE!

Onsite spiral welding➡️wider base diameter➡️taller tower height➡️stronger wind➡️more energy➡️10x reduction in nationwide LCOE➡️3x development area

Tall towers are the MOST overlooked aspect of #EnergyTransition.

This is what American #offshorewind can become: Good #union jobs building up bigtime #renewable energy resources
