The Senate just made climate history. This is the most significant action the U.S. has ever taken to combat climate change.

@DavidDoniger And thank you David for your decades of leadership and mentorship of many climate advocates.

@NRDCEnergy Transition to 100% pollution free cars by 2035 is not only consistent with what science tells us is needed to avert climate catastrophe but also consistent with rapid innovations in battery technology and automakers' stated goals. See my blog https://t.co/BrQcwZkNLd

BREAKING: Good news from #California: @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom has just signed #AB841, which clears the way for #EnergyEfficiency in schools and #ElectricVehicle charging - and the jobs, investment and economic growth that comes with it.

Lessons for future pipeline fights: 1) Local Voices Matter; 2) Environmental Justice Matters; 3) FERC Reform Matters. Let’s get to work!

Electric cars save families THOUSANDS compared to gasoline cars over the lifetime of the car! CA must ensure that the transition to #EVs is equitable by prioritizing incentives for low-income families. https://t.co/SKIIGtmKTl

Agreed. @hal_harvey's book clarifies that what looks like a complex, overwhelming challenge can be broken down into this formula: focus on the big solutions, in the biggest emitting countries, and the handful of the most effective, proven policy measures. https://t.co/atCnLTFZVt

@AWFlint @citizentex @LindseyNWalter @JosephMajkut @leahstokes @rgunns @SamTRicketts @maggiethomas315 @ALCassady @JesseJenkins It's also well worth reading Designing Climate Solutions by @hal_harvey and @robbieorvis of @EnergyInnovLLC. Great, practical, data driven look at what policies work: https://t.co/W04eCPKxNz

Takeaways: 1) Big clean energy solutions are renewables, efficiency & electrification 2) No silver bullet; packages of standards & public investments for power, buildings, vehicles & industry 3) Good-paying jobs, equity & justice are at center of plan https://t.co/L17UmITpcw

My blog on three key takeaways from the 547-page House @ClimateCrisis Committee plan. #EnvironmentalJustice, health, jobs, and #cleanenergy must be at the core. We have the solutions, we know the policies, time to #ActOnClimate @NRDC https://t.co/L17UmITpcw

[Gina McCarthy @GinaNRDC]

It’s time to move full speed ahead toward the kind of world our kids & grandkids deserve. Clean energy can get our economy humming again & combat the climate crisis. A new plan from @USRepKCastor & @climatecrisis leaders shows the way.

#SolvingTheClimateCrisis means building a clean energy economy with #EnvironmentalJustice at its foundation. The @ClimateCrisis Committee just released their Action Plan to set up a healthy future. 🌏 Here are some ways we must #ActOnClimate: [THREAD]

[Gina McCarthy @GinaNRDC]

Two HUGE victories for communities, public health and the environment! #NoDAPL #ACP

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

Something big to celebrate! 👏 In the last two days, developers abandoned the proposed #AtlanticCoastPipeline AND the courts ordered the #DakotaAccessPipeline to be shut down. These are stunning victories for communities, wildlife, and the environment! https://t.co/3tE5rfpLmU

With Black Americans 3x more likely to die from exposure to air pollution than the general population, the #BlackLivesMatter movement has zoomed in on a worsening and previously overlooked systemic inequality: environmental racism. https://t.co/F4vO2k6OX9

[Energy Innovation Policy & Technology @EnergyInnovLLC]

Our modeling shows a subset of policies from the @ClimateCrisis Action Plan released today will not only bring the U.S. to net zero emissions by 2050 but also deliver $8 trillion in health and climate benefits. #SolvingtheClimateCrisis

"The plan...would speed us away from fossil fuels & invest in a better future—one that will put more people to work in clean energy, reduce pollution in communities where it is highest & make our country more resilient to the challenges ahead" - @GinaNRDC

Investing in clean energy is a MUST if we want to tackle the #ClimateCrisis and jumpstart our local economies across the country.

🎉🌎🎉 Today California took a significant step forward, demonstrating how states can play a pivotal role in charting a new course for the country to protect public health while building the backbone of a cleaner, more equitable economy!

[Gina McCarthy @GinaNRDC]

Instead of trying to ease the pain of a nation in crisis, President Trump is focused on easing the pain of polluters. Utterly senseless.

[Gina McCarthy @GinaNRDC]

Systemic racism remains unchecked. We must stand in solidarity with Black people and demand a stop to the hatred and violence against them - right here and now - and fight for justice and fairness and hope. #BlackLivesMatter
