@BrendanFWallace@aussieflya Also pretty sure the carbon footprint of propane tanks for grills across Long Island far exceed that of pizza operations in the Big Apple. Or what about propane tanks in the built real estate across rural New England and New York?
Looking back on yesterday- have to give credit to @Rep_Magaziner for the quote of the day: “I tell my colleagues from the Gulf states that there has never been an offshore wind spill.”

I just love this figure of Colorado River water usage from the @nytclimate today. I want a poster of it. Water law is animal law, at least in the West.
🚨NEWS: I'm joining my colleagues on @NewDemCoalition Climate Change and Clean Energy Task Force to endorse six priorities for permitting reform legislation. These will increase U.S. energy independence, lower energy prices, and accelerate our clean energy transition.
This is a huge step forward! This is the kind of proactive multi benefit regional and interregional transmission we need for both reliability and high penetrations of low cost variable renewable resources.

We need to start deploying GETs today, reconductoring tomorrow, and be turning dirt on new IRT lines in next few years. All of it, now
The US needs a mining and mineral renaissance to lead on #energytransition. For that, we need a workforce. My colleague Thomas Hale on the workforce needs for #criticalminerals https://t.co/djWcDNOtqd
