🧵Today, @heatmap_news is releasing a big project we've been working on for the past year — a series of extremely in-depth guides to help individuals take the "highest-leverage" actions to tackle climate change. This is not just about carbon footprints. https://t.co/hCjt1y3dyY

@Revkin @FarmAid Took the train for the first time this year! But dang it's expensive. I'm still baffled that MOFGA hasn't worked out a shuttle system, or at least tried charging for parking to disincentive driving to the main lot.

@joshtulkin @IPLdmv @StrathmoreMusic 🥰 hugs to you both! Well deserved.

More $$ for heat pumps for Mainers! 🙌

[Governor Janet Mills @GovJanetMills]

Today, I welcomed my friend @SecGranholm to South Portland and Westbrook to celebrate an incredible $36 million grant our state has been awarded through the Inflation Reduction Act that will help thousands of Maine people install heat pumps and save money on energy costs.

@emm_a Still at the park! Is there somewhere with a gazebo in case you need cover for snacks/games/presents?

@mission_data Oh I remember hearing about IOUs coordinating with dispatchers on AIM! This was just over a decade ago... Excel seems like an upgrade!

@DJLindsay6 @ShiraLurie Heads up that your plan B might take awhile... Haven't found spots stocking it here yet.

[Emma Wendt ⚡ 🚲 🥬 🌊 🦞 🇨🇦 @efwendt]

@Friesein @Havesomechau @footloveyoga @we_are_ssd Thanks! Were you suggesting calling everywhere that sourced it last year, to see if they'll stock it again now? So far I've just heard that I should call back in a few weeks. One pharmacy assistant hadn't even heard of it!

@SecretaryPete This is awesome! What happened to the extension further into Maine though?

@grenadine Also, Delhi, Milan...

@emilypont My assumption would be that a very small one would help if you have an outage but need to drive to an errand/emergency at night and still need to power your fridge and other essential loads. But I'd be curious to hear what folks are saying and whether that's a good assumption.

@Simspice1 @sarahradz_ Ah thanks for pointing that out

[Emma Wendt ⚡ 🚲 🥬 🌊 🦞 🇨🇦 @efwendt]

@Simspice1 @sarahradz_ Those are lovely kitchens, but if you get full depth counters full, def do that. The counters I have that aren't deep enough (like the 2nd photo) are almost useless for cooking prep, and esp for baking.

Also, drawers are great except for sm appliances. Try having both.

@duncancampbell Maybe because of weird ownership/contract issues? Detroit was in a mess about this with DTE when they tried to switch to LEDs a decade or so ago.

Meanwhile, in my mom-in-law’s Downeast Maine town, Winter Harbor, it was Lobster Festival parade time. Love the uke orchestra dressed like 🦞.

@EcoStu2050 Thanks for sharing! Yeah, Santa Cruz has some nice bike lanes now.
I'm actually looking to *not* share the road 😅 but I get your point about the green paint.

[Emma Wendt ⚡ 🚲 🥬 🌊 🦞 🇨🇦 @efwendt]

Hey #biketwitter, I have a week to submit comments for our town's draft bike 🚲 plan. Show me your best examples of great bike lanes that have worked in a small rural town in a car-dependent area that gets solid winter.

Plan is heavy on quick wins (mostly paint), and I'd like
