Gah @CopaAirlines gate 103 in @panamacityair is very dirty! Chairs nasty, carpet covered in crumbs.

@jodyleetweet So so true

Hey @nationalgridus all us WFH types would find it really helpful if we had some idea of why the power went out in JP/boston, and whether there are any plans to fix it. #Boston #powergrid #outage

Oh, good.

Love this thread! Nice to have good news #CleanEnergy #renewableenergy #ClimateAction

[Science Is Strategic @scienceisstrat1]

The @IEA’s bombshell new report on renewables has incredibly good news.

For example, solar is undergoing a mega boom & may surpass coal by 2027

Below is a 🧵 on genuinely good news on green energy from the IEA & beyond (1/22)

Had a lovely encounter with a tiny echidna this morning

I lay down in the grass a few metres away, & they came right up & sniffed me!

Whoaaaaaa

🎉Happy Birthday @BBC on your 100th birthday! When you were founded we had a King, no one knew if they could afford to put their heating on and we'd just lived through a global pandemic. Times really do change!

A great day in Rhode island with @offshorewindus providing the #offshorewind ready training for @InnovasjonNorge companies thinking of entering the US market.

CA lease sale on December 6 for areas to support 4.5 GW of #RenewableEnergy says @AmandaLefton of @BOEM and @Interior! More jobs, more clean energy, more #offshorewind

As a reminder, it’s doesn’t have to be like this. We can still choose cleaner air, better jobs, more efficient comfortable homes, more renewable energy, and more nature. #RenewableEnergy #ClimateActionNow

.@TRowePrice seems like your customer service number isn’t working. Keeps hanging up. Website isn’t much better. V frustrating!

I LOVE that the @BFITinvolved event with @SecCardona, @marty_walsh, and @AyannaPressley about inclusive education and workforce started with a land acknowledgement. #ClimateAction #GreenJobs #renewableenergy

Reminder: the drought this summer in Boston was so bad, building foundations were becoming unstable. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction

DROUGHT DEEP DIVE: don't expect this pattern to change soon. The #ClimateCrisis makes droughts like we are seeing in the Northern Hemisphere 20X more likely. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction

@marcusasibley I 100% hear you. Our Prius is not doing well (246k miles) and we want to get a bolt. But even with student loan forgiveness & the inflation reduction act, we likely can’t afford the cheapest electric vehicle.

And lowers your energy bills! #BetterBuildings #ActOnClimate

Love this.

Here’s a quietly wonderful thing I noticed:

If you talk to someone who was in choir or band at a majority Black HS, you’ll eventually discuss those annoying fundraisers for uniforms, instruments, etc. & a SURPRISING number will casually say:

“Oh, Dolly Parton paid for ours”

😍 bats 😍

[Pennsylvania Bat Conservation and Rehabilitation @pabatrescue]

Our batties love fresh, soft enrichment for their squishy butts. Zeus is all smiles because he received fresh white pine today. The cooler temperatures are approaching which means it’s almost snoozing weather for the bats and they love curling up to their enrichment items ❤️
