Biden will leave office with the strongest climate record of any president—making the largest ever investment in clean energy, regulating to reduce pollution from cars & power plants, bolstering clean energy supply chain resilience, & reasserting US global climate leadership. 🙏

The Bezos Earth Fund has committed to investing $10B into climate and nature programs by 2030. Remodeling the economy to make it more resilient to climate change is an overlooked field and a growing financial opportunity, said Bodnar. By Richard Martin: https://t.co/qWloiMpaSP

Here is what countries are saying, using normal human language, a thread 👇

[David Osmond @DavidOsmond8]

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with just 5 hrs of storage (24 GW / 120 GWh)
Results:
last week: 100% RE
last 117 weeks: 99.0% RE (1/4)
