Clean energy advocate working on CO & NV policy. Tweets/opinions my own.

We need leaders in Congress who keep their promises. Clean energy has been there for you @MarkAmodeiNV2 & we hope you will be there for us when it matters. Save the good-paying jobs we're seeing come to Nevada by keeping the clean energy tax credits.

[Emilie Olson @emilie_a_olson]

Without the clean energy tax credits, CO will lose critical jobs. @RepGabeEvans Hold the line and defend CO energy jobs from going to China by protecting the #CleanEnergy tax credits. You can keep these jobs here and protect American innovation!

[Emilie Olson @emilie_a_olson]

@RepJeffHurd prematurely and abruptly cancelling the clean energy tax credits will kill the manufacturing renaissance. You can keep these jobs in CO by fighting for tech-neutral, advanced manufacturing & consumer credits. https://t.co/YSxdj6dGJs

[Emilie Olson @emilie_a_olson]

@RepJeffHurd please continue to defend clean energy tax credits that are critical to lowering the cost of energy for business, industry, and working families in Colorado.

The Comanche Long-Duration Energy Storage facility in Pueblo County, CO will generate 1000 MWh of multiday energy storage to provide much-needed, low-cost, reliable energy. Repealing smart energy tax policies could threaten innovative projects like this. https://t.co/hfteKifSUP

In CO, Vestas’ wind turbine facilities have hired 700+ new employees in the past year & are actively recruiting to scale up to 1,000+. Thanks @repgabeevans for defending smart tax credits that create reliable #manufacturing jobs. Please stand strong: https://t.co/hfteKifSUP

In the @latimes today👇 By signing #AB579 into law, @CAGovernor can accelerate the transition to clean school buses — a win for children’s health, #CleanAir4All, and the state's #CleanEnergy goals. Let’s get it done.

[Emilie Olson @emilie_a_olson]

@Sammy_Roth #AB579 requires all new school buses purchased or leased after 2035 to be zero-emission. Passed w/ strong support in both chambers. It’s a win for clean air, children’s health, and the state’s ongoing leadership around fleet electrification.

California’s power lines are about to get a boost! State legislators passed #SB619 & #SB420 to enable transmission upgrades that will improve grid reliability & resilience.

Thank you @SenStevePadilla & @SenJoshBecker for your leadership!

[Sander Kushen @SHKushen]

Thrilled that @AsmPhilTing's #AB579 for clean, electric school buses made it to the Senate floor today for a final vote! Our kids deserve clean, healthy air... not dirty diesel pollution. Thank you @Portantino for your support! @CALPIRG @AdvEnergyUnited

[Amisha Rai @amishaprai]

@AdvEnergyUnited sponsored bill heading to the Floor! 🚌⚡️🚌⚡️

[Advanced Energy United @AdvEnergyUnited]

#CleanTransportation is a win for emissions reduction targets & our economy. Voting YES on #AB241 means securing consistent #CleanTransportation funding year after year, crucial for creating jobs, a growing economy, and saving $$$ at the pump. #CALeg

[Emilie Olson @emilie_a_olson]

Staying true to our climate commitments by going big on readily-available #advancedenergy over uneconomic alternatives will save Californians money + grow a competitive clean energy workforce.

[Emilie Olson @emilie_a_olson]

⚡️ California’s grid just got a whole lot more #resilient with a $67.5 million grant from @ENERGY! These funds will propel us toward 💯 clean energy and scale #advancedenergy tech, ensuring reliable power during heatwaves, wildfires, & other extremes 🧵

[Emilie Olson @emilie_a_olson]

Building on all of these strategies, and more, via federal + state support is vital not only to avoiding power outages, but building a better prepared, affordable grid long-term.

[Leah Rubin Shen @leahkrs]

Large-scale generation resources are only one piece of the puzzle - a reliable grid also depends on transmission, unlocking the full potential of distributed resources, and efficiently sharing through an organized wholesale market!

[Emilie Olson @emilie_a_olson]

Thank you @AsmMuratsuchi @JuanCarrillo4CA @alex_lee @KevinMcCartyCA @SQSforAssembly for voting YES on #AB579 in Asm. Education Committee today! This bill will make school bus rides healthier for children, improve air quality, and save schools money. #ElectricSchoolBus #CALeg

[Emilie Olson @emilie_a_olson]

Great insights from @Chris4Denver and @SSenate35 on Colorado’s bipartisan leadership on #WesternRTO. A better connected regional electricity system will, together with other strategies, be key to keeping energy costs affordable.

[Colorado Politics Opinion @CoPo_Opinion]

Chris Hansen and Cleave Simpson: "Reliable, affordable energy is an issue with sweeping bipartisan support. Red, blue and purple states across the western U.S. are ready and eager to work together to make an RTO a reality."
