WELC is leaving X, a haven for hate, cesspool of propaganda bots from hostile nations, & fast-lane for the far-right. EM paid $134M to install an authoritarian as president.

New Mexico has a historic opportunity to catalyze renewable energy growth, diversify the state’s economy and secure a cleaner, healthier and more resilient future for New Mexican communities. ☀️ #NMleg #NMpol https://t.co/AKJDo7TBsn

Popping in on #NMPol/#NMLeg to say there is a hearing in Senate Conservation at 9 on the #ClearHorizonsNM climate bill &, if they get to it, the absolutely critical water bills (SB 21/SB22).

@EmnrdNM will receive $2 million to create more clean energy jobs right here at home. 

This funding will establish a new program to train and certify residential energy auditors.

These are the types of opportunities the transition to clean energy will create.

[Western Environmental Law Center @westernlaw]

Expanding clean energy is essential—but not at the cost of frontline communities’ health. We can do better than EPRA. 680+ organizations stand together for our health and climate justice.

The US must not waste any more public money on the fossil fuel industry’s smoke and mirrors. Instead our government must invest in the real solution to the climate crisis: a full, fast, fair, and funded phase-out of fossil fuels. Now, THAT would be magical. 🦄

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

The industry uses these schemes to try to fool us into believing they have solutions for a livable planet when, in reality, they are trying to suck every last ounce of profit out of their dirty fossil fuel business.

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

Our new factsheet covers the 🕸 spookiest 🕸 of topics: how the US gov’t uses tax dollars to prop up the fossil fuel industry’s devilish schemes known as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and fossil hydrogen. https://t.co/rleBkvV9nr

🚨 MUST WATCH🚨

Methane gas is a dangerous problem–for #climate and health. Each year 10s of 1000s of new oil&gas wells are drilled. Meanwhile, millions of old wells have been abandoned, many unknown. ALL ARE AT RISK AS MAJOR POLLUTERS.

[Western Environmental Law Center @westernlaw]

The Climate & Energy Program Attorney is a FT position focused on strategic, legal, and policy advocacy centered on 1) the confluence of the climate crisis with the federal public lands fossil fuels program and 2) the Western U.S.' transition from fossil fuels to renewables!

No other industry leaves its mess for taxpayers to clean up. Raising #bonding for oil & gas companies ensures a sustainable future and fairness for New Mexicans. https://t.co/FrmBy0bUMd

[Earthworks @Earthworks]

FYI: The US’s worst polluter @HilcorpEnergyCo reached $9mil settlement with @EPA & @NMEnvDep after they allegedly dumped >2000 tons of methane and air toxins into the atmosphere.

That's like adding 12,000 more cars to the road.🚗
