THREAD: Solar is plunging in cost faster than anyone, including me, predicted. Today I'm publishing an update of my solar cost forecasts from 2015, with more data & improved methods. Tl;dr: Solar is on path to become insanely, world-changingly cheap. https://t.co/W7Osfa9WVT 1/20

Wait! News breaking that campaigners have seemingly won a signal victory against a giant proposed tarsands mine. The company says that 'investors' worried about climate make it impossible to proceed. What great organizing! #RejectTeck #stopthemoneypipeline

RCMP blocking media & food into #wetsuweten territory. This is violation of #humanrights & #wetsuwetenlaw.

Without #Indigenousrights there can be no #climateJustice.

Get inspired. Come out Friday in solidarity.

Our neighbours in the Guelph/Wellington/Dufferin County (@ugdsb) school board just declared a climate emergency. This follows similar actions in Sudbury and Victoria earlier this year. Maybe @wrdsb & @WCDSBNewswire will be next? #ClimateStrike #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrikeWR

I'm starting to pay attention to a community resource I haven't appreciated enough: the Peace & Social Justice events calendar at @kwpeace. It could really help us organize #FridaysFutureWR #ClimateStrikeKW #ClimateStrikeWR @Rise4ClimateWR #WREnviro #KW

On Friday, 11/1 we invaded 3 Chase Banks. We sang "We are the river, we are the sea” and the drop cloth became agitated, making waves across the floor. We reminded them that Chase made our pledge at the Paris agreement impossible by accelerating its investments in fossil fuels.
