Talk about frikkin’ pathetic. “We’re losing. Blame China!” How about producing your own electricity from solar/wind, not hogging water, etc.

In 1st quarter of 2026 solar grew 13% and batteries 8%. There is now enough clean power for 80 million homes. Wind was down in Q1 due to stupid Trump opposition.

Trump is trying to use climate funds to extend old coal plants and add new ones.

82% of Trump supporters think he should be tougher on polluters. 56% of Americans want the EPA to make the US a climate leader. (Thanks, Environmental Protection Network for your work!) #climateaction #climatehope

Terrific! For an idea to become a useful product there must be research, dev., demonstration, & commercialization. This US lab helps w/ demonstration, in this case sodium-ion & lithium-iron-phosphate batteries.

$40 billion lost this year due to local opposition to AI data centers — and many still don’t seem to get it. Wake up! Generate your own clean energy. Don’t hog water. Provide good-paying local jobs. #climateaction #datacenters

In a world made thirstier by climate change, new solar desalination breakthrough makes salt water into fresh water without toxic brine. #climatehope #freshwater

We don’t need wimpy stuff like this when speed & scale is needed. Becerra: “Can we make the 2045 goal [fossil phase out]? Sure would like to, but I’m not going to hang up our economy & families’ cost of living if we find that we’re not able to meet that goal.”

Wind energy is manly. It’s got lots of muscles. Oops. I mean mussels. And when you’ve got mussels, you’ve got the start of an ecosystem. Another creation-friendly cobenefit of wind energy!

State-sanctioned monopolistic utilities want to drag us into the past, just like MAGA. Hear this, Utility-MAGA. As Rupert Garcia said in 1969: “No More O’ This Shit.” #climateaction #climatehope

What do we need to overcome climate change? Speed & Scale of transformation. So if heat-tolerant robots can double the speed of building solar power plants, working in conditions adverse to human health, that’s good.
