NEW: @GovWhitmer just called for a 100% Clean Energy Standard in Michigan.

It would establish MI's place a national leader on climate and clean energy and help create 160,000 clean energy jobs for Michiganders.

This is how governors should be leading on climate.

Sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic (the red line) are nearing 5 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean. (h/t @leonsimons8)
As #Oppenheimer said, quoting from the Gita, "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."

@mollyforvermont Congratulations!!🎉🎊

One of the hottest days we’ve had and it’s not safe to breathe the air or go in the water. Vermont is not immune from the impacts of climate change or environmental injustice.

We all remember the upheaval that the Auxin Solar tariff case caused in the U.S. #solar industry.

Overturning @POTUS’ tariff pause is bad policy that will hurt workers and American manufacturing. #StopRetroactiveTariffs https://t.co/fWt8gjULvs

Our thoughts on today's resounding victory for the @cmpco corridor in Maine, where a jury cut through the self-interested narrative of power market competitors & decided what's fair is fair. First off, #cleanenergy won today. 1/

New York's Governor is trying to gut state climate standards, just as a coalition of socialists, environmental justice groups and labour unions is on the verge of passing a transformative bill to build publicly owned renewable energy, the #BuildPublicRenewables Act.

Since this once-spunky-if-odd website seems destined to collapse in on itself in the days ahead, becoming a black hole occupied by people who think the globe is cooling, polio wouldn't be so bad, and being awake is a terrible fate, I feel like getting a few things out while I can

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

Snow removes friction; you get to glide across the surface of the earth. That alone would be reason enough to fight climate change

@StormSkiJournal @palisadestahoe @CaliforniaSnow Mind if I put the bar down?

“I, along with my peers, want to be able to look back and say we did everything we could to help Vermonters and fight climate change,” one student activist said. https://t.co/L9MkDvsQpW

@whatssheesaid Wait, when were the first two?

Rhode Island > #Vermont in terms of in-state #wind and #solar energy generation. @RE_Vermont

[Ben Inskeep @Ben_Inskeep]

Indiana generated 29% more electricity from solar and wind last year than all of New England (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT).

[John Raymond Hanger  @johnrhanger]

Good morning with good news: Solar will double its total output by 2025, adding about 80 TWh per year, up from 40 TWh added in 2022. Total solar output was 205 TWh in 2022, 5% of US electricity. Solar will exceed 50% of new generation in 2023. Data below has no BTM solar.

[Jackson Keith @JacksonGKeith]

Really good article hitting all of the right points about some of the tensions we’re (@LLCoalition) seeing in the field — and what may come of it in other, more red/purple states…

Climate stat of the day: Big Oil's profits were 20x larger than EPA budget in 2022.

‼️ BREAKING: Our new report found that 100k clean energy jobs have been announced since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.

Thanks to @POTUS, “the economic boom is starting.”
