Major automakers are planning to add thousands more fast chargers along highways and in cities to make it easier for Americans to ditch their gas cars in favor of clean EVs. https://t.co/AX4fvtN3VF

Agree. See @FrontierTony and my commentary in @thehill on this in April: https://t.co/4G7Ke4XP3A

In August, millions of American students will be waiting at the curbside for the familiar yellow bus to carry them to school. For more of those students than ever before, that bus will be electric. H/t @WorldResources https://t.co/4z8CfXBEU0

Because that’s what we need: more e-waste.

Lately, I've been trying to buy less stuff, and when I do buy stuff, I do my best to buy used (or free!). I asked some colleagues for tips and advice and they were so helpful that I turned them into a blog!

America's recent breakthrough on climate policy was decades in the making. Important thread from @FrontierTony on myriad climate and energy policy wins that paved the way for the IRA. @robinsonmeyer

Not to be a party pooper, but if you're headed to the beach this weekend you might want to check first whether your favorite spot has a history of fecal contamination. https://t.co/GFWADf8kCM

The baby hooded orioles are chirping really really loudly in the sycamore tree. 5 days since hatching, maybe 7 more until they fledge. (I wish I had a good photo for you, but hey, they're in foliage about 15 feet off the ground. )

Thank you

A 🧵, 38 years in the making. Today is my last day @NPR after, yep, nearly four decades. It's impossible to sum up what these years have meant, but indulge me as I share some stories that have been among the most memorable for me… 1/

Light pollution is wreaking havoc on the natural world, affecting nocturnal animals, predator-prey dynamics, migration patterns, plant growth, nutrient cycling and more. Keeping our dark skies dark is vital for a thriving planet. https://t.co/jyLjKMtAWX

Energy efficiency. Energy conservation. And put the panels in the easy places first. Good ideas in a thread from @NeumannJo

[Johanna Neumann @NeumannJo]

Once again powerful storytelling in the @latimes by @Sammy_Roth & co. He asked for our thoughts/reactions, so here is a 🧵... ⅛

Disrupt natural ecosystems and the effects reverberate through the entire system. Preserve them, and they fulfill important functions – including for us. https://t.co/rlJjONLT3R

For decades, until the early 2000s, the average American drove more miles every year. But residents in several states now drive fewer miles on average than they did 25 years ago. @frontiereliz explains https://t.co/lIV00cvCUZ

Somebody should absolutely, positively do this overnight.

After a week in a river canyon in southern Oregon, I'm one of the lucky ones -- I saw the Milky Way recently. Love this piece.

[Frontier Group @FrontierGroupUS]

Roughly 99% of U.S. and European residents now live under light-polluted night skies – and it’s getting worse every year. The consequences for wildlife are dire, as @horroxj explains. https://t.co/jyLjKMtAWX
