Ukrainians looking to networked #geothermal as a clean postwar energy resource. @Heet is setting an inspiring example. https://t.co/fqAhS9JE6d

Facts vs. fabrication. Don’t Take Trump’s Word for It. Check the Data. https://t.co/THeFR9QhT3

Some rays of hope in dark times: 473 gigawatts of renewables installed in 2023 - 85% of new global capacity!

A full decade behind India, the US is waking up to solar-covered canals. Next: PV on our shrinking reservoirs.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Arizona is building the first solar canal in the U.S. . Solar-covered canals will generate renewable energy and save water in this notoriously dry area: https://t.co/h7VQMpo9iP

We have so many solutions to this crisis. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Solar is set to overtake generation capacity of all other power sources by 2027.
In three years, it will overtake gas.
In four years, it will push past coal.
And it's creating jobs as it does it.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Where's Waldo? Not a solar array in sight. All that renewable energy going to waste. This is Minneapolis but it could be Anywhere USA. #solarenergy

Environment America wants to know: What will FedEx do with its 112 million SF of rooftop real estate? The answer should be solar. @EnvAm

Biden's extra incentives for low-income energy efficiency & solar installation clearly show clean energy eagerness beyond the allotted funds. Time to gear up for more.

Read Gus Speth's knock-your-insulated-socks-off call for a shift away from a political economy that rewards pursuit of profit, growth & power & does little to encourage a concern for people, place & planet. He's so right.

Laudable goal: 250,000 solar rooftops in DC area by 2030, including low-income solar with 50% savings on electric bills for multi-family rentals. https://t.co/3DXWbjw1Ad

Clean energy setbacks that our global climate can't afford.https://t.co/CetKq7YhYm

PV on our all-electric #NetZero home is off to a great start, delivering surplus power that should carry us through the colder months. Double walls & triple glazing plus air-source heat pumps for space conditioning & water heating help.

Throwing paint on pavement is easy virtue for cities that want to appear #bike-friendly. This study confirms: better to do nothing at all. Let's get serious about building protected bike lanes.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.
