‼️ NEW: A new Sierra Club report shows that U.S. utilities are doubling down on expensive fossil fuels instead of investing in affordable, clean energy. Is your utility making you pay for pricey, dirty energy?

The @nrgenergy W.A. Parish plant is struggling to stay running. Coal = outdated, expensive, dirty.
The solution? Texas-made clean energy tech that's ALREADY HERE! Sign the petition to shut this coal polluter down! https://t.co/qWRzFrHamP

Emma is a lifelong resident of Central Texas and a Sierra Club staffer. She gave powerful testimony about the physical and emotional devastation of the Texas floods this summer.

She closed out her testimony to @EPA: "I hope that all of us, regardless of our political affiliation, can see the value in protecting our climate and communities."

BREAKING: Campaign Legal Center, Union of Concerned Scientists, Organization of Chinese Americans, Japanese American Citizens League, and Sierra Club have filed a lawsuit challenging Elon Musk and DOGE's unlawful and devastating funding and staffing cuts to the U.S. National Park Service and Forest Service.

“American families are already feeling the effects of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s careless and illegal cuts to our federal workforce," said Sierra Club Executive Director @BenJealous. "Firefighters and forest management staff have been dismissed as families remain on edge from the threats wildfires pose. Families wanting to enjoy our national parks, forests and monuments are being welcomed with closed signs, long lines, and unmaintained trails–before the parks’ busiest season has yet to begin."

Coal owners in TX just joined a disgraceful call to rescind regulations on coal ash - one of the most toxic substances on the planet. Shame on @VistraCorp, @LuminantPower, and @LCRA. @TexasSierraClub's statement:

The Pirkey coal plant in east Texas was demolished today, after years of @SierraClub advocacy. SWEPCO announced retirement for the plant back in 2020, but it finally came down today. One more TX coal plant down, 13 remaining. Go @BeyondCoal! https://t.co/2cKqKevyf7

Monitoring shows that haze in Texas is mostly caused by coal plants. That's one reason why these should have to install cost-effective pollution control measures. But @tceq just doesn't wanna make friendly polluters do anything, so @EPAregion6 must step in https://t.co/39JU9GOLQE

Why the South Side of San Antonio, @cpsenergy? Worried that wealthier residents don’t want to deal with pollution? An important take from @DeeDeeBelmares in the @ExpressNews on energy, inequity, and racism https://t.co/8IaQwt7raP

Texans: How much #water pollution are you okay with? Go to https://t.co/eZSkdgO60I to learn about TCEQ's preliminary review of surface water quality standards. Add your thoughts on oil & gas wastewater #producedwater, salinity, nutrient pollution, #nurdles & microplastics #txlege

A lot of folks in TX blame hazy skies on fires in Mexico or Saharan dust, but huge coal-burning sources of haze are in our own backyards. Thankfully a @SierraClub lawsuit was just settled to force @EPA to make a decision on the haze proposal from @TCEQ. https://t.co/rhDCsKDTBo

SCOTUS just gave polluters and the states that fail to regulate them a pass to threaten our clean air. As we prepare for a summer that could be one of the worst smog seasons on record, this is a devastating outcome for public health and our communities.

"A small coal plant south of San Antonio burning the dirtiest form of coal mined at an adjacent strip mine has continued to chug along—despite a track record of poisoning the air and fouling area groundwater," writes James Courtney via @MyDeceleration
