I’m basically on this site an unhealthy amount to read my favorite journalists and scientists. Both groups have largely left or been banned by the site. New ownership is obviously trying to burn this site down. It’s working.
This natural gas release effectively erased emissions gains from about half of the 656,000 electric vehicles sold in the US last year https://t.co/he9zxd3c6M
We were featured today in the @denverpost!
Thanks @JudithKohler for illuminating why *now* is an incredible time to electrify your home🏠, due to rising gas prices📈 AND unprecedented financial incentives💵

Because if we only made energy choices based on what is the cheapest generation source, solar would never have gotten cheap.
We would have stuck with coal and natural gas until the oceans boiled away.
Yes, nearly all solar customers do it for savings.
But the environmental impact is nice and something to feel good about. It is compelling when your self-interests align with doing the right thing too.
Rooftop solar comes along and gives people the individual power to reduce their carbon footprint.
Don't like how long it takes your utility to adopt green energy?
Just do it yourself!
Eliminate a huge part of your personal carbon footprint.
There has also been a decades-long effort to make carbon emissions an individual responsibility. Pay no attention to the corporation behind the smog cloud.
You must mind your own carbon footprint.
Ignore the fact a majority of carbon emissions come from just 100 corporations.
Even with a higher cost to install, customers can secure their power for much cheaper than the utilities will offer them.
And with a good NEM program, it gives individuals a chance to control runaway costs in one area of their lives as costs skyrocket everywhere else.
If that is true, why do people bother to go solar?
Because the utility might be able to get 2 cents per kWh power purchase agreements, but they sure don't sell customers power at 2 cents. They sell it for 30 cents on average. With rate hikes every year.
@nbminor@WillToor EVs are about to 75% of new vehicle sales in Norway today (with the same population as Colorado).
But @GovofCO and @WillToor say: more pollution, more noise, more damage is the the Colorado way.
Thanks to LA Leap Coalition and @RePower_LA — @LACityCouncil’s unanimously voted to require all new homes & buildings to be constructed all-electric – a move that would lower energy bills for households & improving air quality for households.
White Christian Eco-Fascism is a future I’ll fight every step of the way.
White men with guns are planning to steal the remnants of every beautiful thing they’ve destroyed.
F**k that
This kite-flying cargo ship is one of ~two dozen large commercial vessels now using some type of wind-blown device in an effort to curb fuel use & CO2 emissions. @iwsa_secretary estimates that # will reach 50 vessels by the end of 2023 @CanaryMediaInc https://t.co/kJriMEXLoi
