A federal program that returns $12 for every $1 invested sounds like a keeper.
In this clip, Jim Howe of @nature_org explains how the Sustainable Rivers Program improves drinking water, restores wildlife habitat, supports recreation, and helps vulnerable species thrive.
Yet it's facing potential cuts.

A federal program that returns $12 for every $1 invested and helps reduce flood risk nationwide is on the chopping block.
Jim Howe of @nature_org joins us to explain what's at stake for America's rivers, dams, and communities.

You don’t have to agree on everything to find common ground.
@BjornLomborg makes a point worth considering:
"The movie’s biggest blunder was to fail to make the case for smarter approaches. We need to prioritize innovation. Green tech research and development—to achieve better batteries, advanced nuclear, fusion—could slash costs to make clean energy cheaper than fossil fuels."

We don't always agree, but on this, we absolutely do:
"The movie’s biggest blunder was to fail to make the case for smarter approaches. We need to prioritize innovation. Green tech research and development—to achieve better batteries, advanced nuclear, fusion—could slash costs to make clean energy cheaper than fossil fuels."
He didn’t expect to change his mind.
Then he saw the evidence in Antarctica.
Now he’s making the conservative case for addressing climate change.
Watch. Then decide for yourself.

One of the funniest climate analogies we’ve seen lately, but also a useful reminder: taking one extreme scenario off the table doesn’t mean the conversation is over.

China doubled solar exports to 68 GW in ONE month. That's roughly Spain's entire solar capacity shipped in 30 days.
Danny Richter says the world may be rapidly repositioning around energy security and China is benefiting.
What does that mean for U.S. competitiveness? 👇
Freedom has always carried a cost.
Today we remember the Americans who gave their lives in service to this country and honor their courage, sacrifice, and love of nation.
May we live worthy of that gift. 🇺🇸
Solar to overtake coal on Texas grid for the first time ever this year @CanaryMediaInc https://t.co/YMqcd2MXCP
"For the first time ever, solar is set to generate more electricity than coal in the power market managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. Nobody is building new coal power plants in the state, but developers are adding more solar there than anywhere else in the country. As a result of those diverging trajectories, the federal government expects ERCOT will receive 78 billion kilowatt-hours from solar in 2026, and just 60 from coal."
Cassidy plans to keep pushing foreign pollution bill https://t.co/9yHceifrDf via @politico
Quote of the week: “I'd like to try to get it done this Congress. But if not, I’m comfortable that there will be somebody who would be interested in pushing it. Now that folks understand the concept, they have very much gotten into it," Senator Bill Cassidy said of his bill, the Foreign Pollution Fee Act. “I can't tell you that they're all ready to go to the floor. But they're all very much interested in the concept and understand the objectives. They have gotten to the point where they realize that we are paying for China not adhering to environmental standards.”
@MDPhdBrandon Fair point: none of us controls the sun or geology.
But we can control what we put into the atmosphere. As Bob likes to say, the sky has become a free trash dump.
When something is free, we tend to get too much of it.
“Al Gore was for it… therefore I was against it.”
That’s how politics used to work.
Then he went to Antarctica and saw the evidence for himself.
Climate change is real.
The question is whether conservatives lead on it.
If you’re ready for a better approach, add your name.
Sometimes climate policy can sound a little... wonky.
Danny Richter, founder of Richter Capitol Hill Strategies, explains why the EU’s new CBAM carbon price matters: once you put a real number on something, policy stops feeling theoretical and starts feeling tangible.
€75.36 per ton.
About $81 USD.
Now businesses can envision the impact.

Danny Richter & Chelsea Henderson call it a “carbon pricing therapy session.” 😄
On this week's EcoRight Speaks: what climate advocates focus on when carbon pricing isn't front and center.
Permitting reform, tariffs, China, EVs, and more.

We’re in a new race.
China is moving fast. BYD files an average of 52 patents a day and now leads the world in EV sales.
The question isn’t whether we like that reality. The question is whether America intends to compete.

@JackBaja227783@AnarchoSeg We’ll absolutely need adaptation.
The question is whether we create incentives that drive innovation now or wait and pay more later.
Markets are pretty good at solving problems when prices tell the truth.
